For a man who has created such gripping tales as "Generation Kill" and "Homicide: Life on the Street," it looks like David Simon has a pretty good sense of humor too.
In response to the recent Funny or Die parody "The Wire: The Musical," Simon says on his website that the video is "hilarious." The clip features former cast members Michael Kenneth Williams, Larry Gillard Jr., Andre Royo, Felicia Pearson and Sonja Sohn doing a send up of the award-winning HBO show.
"I woke up this morning to an email from Michael K Williams with this video linked. Hilarious. Just great," Simon writes. "Felicia [Pearson]'s turn alone is worth the time. Ya hair look good, Snoop.
He continues, "Someone hand me a burner and Sondheim's number."

It's hard to believe that The Wire has been around for ten years. We recently did a post focusing on an oral history of the amazing series that I suggest you check out if you haven't already. Since writing that article I've started rewatching The Wire again. Today we bring you a funny musical parody of the show called The Wire: The Musical. What's so cool about this video is a lot of the cast members from the show reprise their roles in it.
Michael Kenneth Williams stars alongside Sonja Sohn, Larry Gillard Jr., Andre Royo & Felicia "Snoop" Pearson from The Wire in The Wire: The Musical where they will allow you to experience America's failing drug war through the magic of song.
Enjoy, and I'll once again remind you that if you haven't watched The Wire, you should do it now!
