Sometimes the stupidest things make us so damn happy. Thank the mighty Zeus for the Internet.

A new Tumblr has popped up to introduce us to the phenomenon that is "Piña Colliding." We bet you're wondering what "Piña Colliding" means, and you're also probably wondering if it has anything to do with the song "Escape" by Rupert Holmes (also known as The Piña Colada Song). Answers to your queries are but a little mouse scroll away.

Basically whoever created this Tumblr really and truly believes in this theory: "'Escape (The Piña Colada Song)' by Rupert Holmes is great and it should be in every movie." So he's putting it in every movie, but at the most inappropriate moments ever. So far he's Piña Collided movies like The Departed, The Lord of the Rings and Jaws.

Check them out below, but be warned, some of the scenes are graphic:

You can't not laugh at it, right? It does kind of make the movie better, or at the very least it softens the blow that comes from the very dramatic moment. We bet it could even make Mufasa's death from The Lion King less depressing! Right?

Nope. No, it did not make it better. We're still crying. Why, Scar? Whyyy?!

Check out the Tumblr to see more "Piña Colliding" with The Untouchables, Saving Private Ryan and more!
