Mar 10 2010What Happened To Bounty Hunting?: Bobba Fett Playing The Zelda Theme On Accordion
This is a video of once-renowned bounty hunter Boba Fett reduced to peddling Zelda tunes on the accordion for handouts. What happened Boba? And please don't say Dog. That guy couldn't catch a bounty if his mullet depended on it. And it probably does. Hair product doesn't grow on trees, you now! Jesus, It's not toothpaste.
Another worthwhile video of Boba playing some Indiana Jones and Saria's Song (Lost Woods theme) after the jump.
Thanks to Nathaniel and Matt, who demanded the Song of Storms but Boba refused because he was still making money and didn't want to get wet.

This guy is always out at Washington Square on nice days. Seen him a few times. He's a young dude without his helmet, maybe an NYU student.

28. mike - March 11, 2010 12:12 PM
that guy rules. its great to see that people appreciate video game music. makes me want to go out and learn the ken stage from street fighter on my guitar.
29. Durand - March 11, 2010 12:24 PM
I tried posting links to pages of his, but geekologie seemed to reject it, so just look up renegadeaccordion on youtube for more fun accordion action from Boba.

I actually met this guy on the streets of NY. I think he's in law school. He said he just kind of started playing on a whim. People would throw down a bit of money every now and again so he never took it too seriously. But he put on the mask for a performance and the attention just went through the roof and that kind of cemented his career busking.
