Lip dub is a video of people singing along to a song played on a stereo or PA system. The video is then dubbed over with the real song, creating a very cool, surreal music video with perfect lip-syncing in a manner similar to that of a flash mob.
There are hundreds of these videos on youtube and the best ones are the ones where the uni students really get into it.
The following are three of my favourites:
- .
"I Gotta Feeling" (Black Eyed Peas) performed by Comm-UQAM (2009
)
.
"
Hey Soul Sister" (Train) performed by UVIC
(2010)
- "Somebody to love" (Queen, Glee Version) performed by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2010)
The best one by far is the first. All the students know the words off by heart (it's hard not to with such an omnipresent song). They have very cool moves that interpret the song in funny and dare-I-say-it original ways (for instance they have students tilting a couch with a girl on it for the line Jump off that sofa and a priest gesturing to the sky for the line like oh my god"
The second I enjoyed as well but the students didn't all sing the lyrics as per in video numero uno.
The third is very nice as well.
Watch, watch and watch!
So what songs would YOU use for a lip dub? Let's also talk dance moves.
