Her performance of the uniquely bizarre reggae song titled &#8220;Rastafarian Targaryen&#8221; was the highlight of a star-studded comedy sketch put together by the band Coldplay for the US Red Nose Day charity event. The stunning cover of the unique Reggae song shocked fans who couldn&#8217;t believe the actress was such a talented comedic singer too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The sketch, officially titled &#8220;Game of Thrones: The Musical,&#8221; aired on NBC on May 21, 2015, as part of the inaugural Red Nose Day US broadcast. Conceived and led by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, the 12-minute mockumentary followed the band as they hilariously tried to convince the skeptical cast of <b>Game of Thrones<\/b> to participate in an ill-advised stage musical.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"4\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>The Rise of the &#8216;Rastafarian Targaryen&#8217;<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Emilia Clarke&#8217;s segment was an unexpected revelation. Shedding her character&#8217;s fierce platinum braids for a colorful Rastafarian hat, she delivered a surprisingly smooth reggae parody, completely changing the perception of the stoic Khaleesi. The lyrics of the song were a comical tribute to her character&#8217;s lengthy titles: &#8220;I\u2019m a Rastafarian, Targaryen \/ I got some dragons and they are very scary and \/ Been here and there and then I been everywhere again \/ Rastafarian Targar\u2014 \/ Call me Daenerys Targaryen when you wanna reach me \/ And if you feel the love, then you can call me Khaleesi.&#8221; The original YouTube video of the full musical sketch has garnered over 39 million views to date, with Clarke&#8217;s segment often singled out for its unexpected charm and genuine comedic timing.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"6\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>A Cast of Comedic Crooners<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">While Clarke\u2019s reggae rendition was a major talking point, the entire sketch was packed with other <b>Game of Thrones<\/b> cast members displaying their musical chops for charity. Key performances included: Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) performing &#8220;A Man for All Seasons (Still Goin&#8217; Strong),&#8221; a rock-and-roll ballad; and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) playing a sincere, piano-driven ballad about his complicated love for his sister Cersei. The entire event was a massive success for charity. That first Red Nose Day US telethon successfully raised over $21 million for children&#8217;s charities, demonstrating the incredible power of comedic celebrity collaborations for a noble cause. This moment not only proved Clarke\u2019s range beyond her iconic role but established her as a willing and talented comedic performer, a skill she has carried into later projects like the 2019 film <i>Last Christmas<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Game of Thrones: The Musical \u2013 Emilia Clarke Teaser | Red Nose Day\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RfI_mUIvYq8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comic Vocal Force: Actress Stuns in Coldplay Red Nose Day Sketch Emilia Clarke, the British actress globally recognized for her powerful role as Daenerys Targaryen in the epic HBO series Game of Thrones, sent shockwaves across the entertainment world when she revealed a surprisingly versatile comedic and musical talent.
