    I guess this "Lip Dub" thing is all the rage nowadays. Here's a kind of cool one that is from a local high school (which just so happens to be where I grew up). We were never allowed to do cool things like that when I was in high school. Must be good for student morale...

    Someone told me that Katy Perry posted this on her facebook. Unsure if that's true though.

    Cool vid, but that song was just painful to listen to.

    the 4 green men at the end were a nice touch. lol. however- the original ones were better executed.

    Im sure the camera guy was winded because the camera kept lowering when it should have been higher. Good stuff though, this would have never happened in my HS.

    Agreed. I always liked the whole "one take" shot.

    Don't ask, don't tell?

    Or is that only an American thing?

    ... and now I'm starting to feel like...

    If you've seen one, you've seen 'em all.

    The novelty of these went away faster than the flavor of cheap bubble gum.

    I don't get it at all. It's like "we can't sing, so we'll lip sync to something". Didn't Milli Vanilli get busted for this? They were just ahead of their times... :(

    From the looks of it, none of these kids knew the lyrics to the song. They were lip syncing words to a whole different song.

    If they tried to do that at my high school fights would start, fire alarms would be pulled, and things would be stolen.

    It's just a fun little video. Probably a lot more fun to make that it is to watch. It's an easy way to introduce or remember a larger group of people, and there's a lot of room for inside jokes and stuff.

    It's kind of like a yearbook in video form. Fun for the those who are in it, basically useless to those who aren't.

    Exactly. And only a handful of people would take it seriously, so it would never work out.

    I don't think the students are trying to deceive and make money off anyone.
    My daughter's HS just put aside a day for fun activities and doing a lip dub. The kids enjoyed it.
