Cindy Ord—Getty Images by [Chancellor Agard / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Chancellor Agard / Entertainment Weekly Jul 14, 2017 6:27 PM UTC Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have taken their _Game of Thrones_ obsession to the next level with a music video. In the above video, posted to YouTube Thursday, Bell and Shepard perform _Game of Thrones_‘ iconic main theme against the backdrop of the show’s opening credits. They begin the video in normal clothes, instruments in hand. But once the music gets going, the cosplay begins: Shepard as Jon Snow and Bell as Daenerys “playing” cellos; Shepard as Jaime and Bell as Cersei on violins; and the list goes on. (Let’s be honest: You’d do this, too, if you had the resources.) The music video ends with a nod to one fan theory that captures just how horny the couple is for the show’s upcoming season 7 return. **_EW.com:_** [_Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard’s Best Moments_](http://ew.com/gallery/kristen-bell-dax-shepard-moments/) “Words can not express our horniness for the Game Of Thrones Premier \[sic\]. Hopefully this video will,” says the caption for the video, which was posted on the Dan Shepard YouTube account. Of course, this isn’t the first time Bell and Shepard have expressed their love for the hit show. Last year, [they attended the _Game of Thrones_ season 6 premiere](http://ew.com/article/2016/04/11/game-thrones-season-6-kristen-bell-dax-shepard-premiere/)with matching “Ours is the fury” neck tattoos and shirts that said, “Stark in the streets, wildling in the sheets.” _Game of Thrones_ returns July 16 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO. _This_ [_article_](http://ew.com/tv/2017/07/14/game-of-thrones-kristen-bell-dax-shepard-music-video/) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://ew.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4859114/game-of-thrones-kristen-bell-dax-shepard/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4859114/game-of-thrones-kristen-bell-dax-shepard/"},"headline":"Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard Made the Nerdiest Game of Thrones Superfan Video","datePublished":"2017-07-14T18:27:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:45:25.312Z","description":"They're obsessed","url":"https://time.com/4859114/game-of-thrones-kristen-bell-dax-shepard/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta75b18d580e1322f/6988d5c3fb4eacb0bb892e92/dax-shepard-kristen-bell.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Chancellor Agard / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta75b18d580e1322f/6988d5c3fb4eacb0bb892e92/dax-shepard-kristen-bell.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Celebrities Visit SiriusXM - March 22, 2017","caption":"Celebrities Visit SiriusXM - March 22, 2017","creditText":"Cindy Ord—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4859114/game-of-thrones-kristen-bell-dax-shepard/","name":"Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard Made the Nerdiest Game of Thrones Superfan Video"}}]}] ```
