Bad Lip Reading: Meta-Viral Video Phenomenon
This is simply amazing.
Someone is taking popular music videos, then changing the lyrics of the song to sync with the movement of the singer’s lips. [Hence the moniker "Bad Lip Reading."]From Douglas Wolk coverage of the phenomenon:
BLR first came to prominence with “Gang Fight,” a riff on Rebecca Black’s inescapable quasi-hit “Friday” that kept its video intact but constructed an entirely new song around what Black appeared to be singing–a different tune, a different arrangement, and a totally inverted if wildly incoherent sentiment.
Exhibit A: Original video for Ludacris’ “My Chick Bad”
Exhibit B: The Bad Lip Reading revision, “Magic Man”
I want to know you, Bad Lip Reading.
Evidently even better examples are on YouTube from them: "everybody poops", "asian baby", "hot jumping beans". A HT to my daughter-in-law for this phenomenon.

The newest member of Japan’s AKB48 has revealed a secret that stunned fans of the popular all-girl group. The revelation has nothing to do with an arrest record, plastic surgery or sex tape—nope, Aimi Eguchi revealed she isn’t human.
The fresh-faced beauty appeared Japanese magazines and commercials, but don’t expect her to show up at concerts because she is simply a computer-generate composite. Originally created for sweets company Ezaki Glico’s ad for candy balls, Eguchi’s popularity grew until a Channel News Asia report revealed her true identity.
Gilco now allows fans to play Dr. Frankenstein and create their own Japanese dream girl using the faces from real human members of AKB48. Adjust the nose, lips, eyes, and hair to whip together your very own pop star.
