I don’t know if it’s simply because it’s late and I’m a bit tired or if it actually is pretty comedic, but there’s this YouTube user named Buffalax who takes foreign music videos and subtitles them in English — only they’re not translations, but they’re actually literal phonetic interpretations of the lyrics, according to him. The result is hilarious.
Witness one clip that’s hilarious in and of itself because of the content of the video and song — then watch the subtitles and it makes it all the better. Notice how it’s a blatant rip of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” as well. After you watch this, you’ll definitely be pumping Ovaltine or Salty Shanty’s One Shot Tea.
Just remember that when “Joe” or “Melissa” from a call center in India isn’t sitting on the phone with a hopeless American customer, they’re probably out making a music video like that.
that is funny yet very weird.
