Further proof that LMFAO is not music… it’s played in this video.

I’ve watched the video many times, but this is the first time I have seen it. Endlessly surprising.

  It becomes a movie with the added Foley work and no distracting soundtrack music.

I once had neighbors whose son was deaf, and he got married, and they had a big party for all his deaf friends in the house next door. I stepped out on my porch, and there they were drinking and celebrating… in complete silence. I felt like I was the one who was deaf.

This video made me feel the same way – like somehow my music sensors were broken.

  At some times the sound levels are a bit off

Did they get their hands on the original footage or did they foley all of this? Because of it’s foley…that’s some impressive work.

The 2012 version of the Macarena and it’ll be forgotten just as quickly.

      I had the misfortune to see it on Súper Sábado Sensacional about a year before it broke into the English music market. Even the dancers and the audience looked bored out of their minds.

        According to the theory of the Butterfly Effect (or Beetlejuice), you have just started the inevitable comeback of the Macarena by mentioning it.

I really hope this turns into a new meme, because I want to see this done to a song I’ve actually heard of before!

“Less” really is “more.” Because with less music, this thing is even more ridiculous.

The weird thing for me is that the “room tone” they use for the subway and that huge shot of the financial building is waaay different from what I remembered it to be when I was in Korea.

Still one nice piece of work though.
