Single= Uh Oh.
November 4, 2009
I feel that it is my duty as a well-informed user of social media, (thank you journalism courses,) to share with you the Youtube video that has provided me with plenty of laughs the last few weeks. I find myself watching this clip every time it pops up on my Facebook mini-feed, which is often, and sharing it with my friends to provide a 38 second break from the fact that we’re in class. With nearly two million hits on this particular video upload–there are several versions of varying lengths–it is obvious I’m not the only one laughing. Although I must admit, I may have contributed to 80 or so of those video views. OK, now 81.
A valiant attempt of reenacting Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” video, comes the video accurately titled “Single Ladies Gone Wrong.” Now I know Kanye West argued that the video was the best of 2009 during the MTV Music Awards, but that doesn’t mean everyone should go around attempting to remake that dance routine. Case in point, a masked woman and friend who tried their hand, and body, at the video’s moves. All was going fine until… let’s just say the Bozo mask may have inhibited the wearer’s vision.
Don’t worry, I did the actual work of searching for Youtube clip for you–see below. Just know if you don’t at least chuckle, well, that says something about you my friend. For reference on how the Single Ladies dip should actually go, check out Beyonce’s hit video.
Enjoy!
XOXO,
Clara
