Fortunately, Magnus doesn't need to get paid for his singing. Smile

GM Kevin Spraggett gives this short film in his blog, under the heading - 

"Magnus, don't quit your day job".

<Bunicula> actually it was quite a witty title - and Spragett specializes in these. 

What makes it so witty, is that the line "don't quit your day job" is often given to chess wannabes - and look WHAT a day job this guy Carlsen has. 

That Ylvis show is really funny too...

Look at it this way, one man's poison ivy is another man's spinach. Poisons and medicine are oftentimes the same substance given with different intents.
