Conan's Stage

Inspired by Conan O'Brien hosting the 98th Academy Awards for the second consecutive year, his comedic style and iconic moments. Lines like "He pulled a bit about the first-ever casting Oscar, brand new gold" ground it in specifics. The electronic production gives it a distinct character. The mood: playful, energetic, hilarious, danceable.
