We've got another creative tribute to Robin Williams to share with readers.
Yesterday, we posted an awesome video of a sports anchor dropping 23 references to the late actor in a creative two-minute segment - and now we're excited to pass along the following footage.

The role, of course, was originated on screen by Williams and this sing-along is the perfect way to honor one of the greatest entertainers in history. Watch and be moved by it now:
