Have you ever done something and thought, “Oh my goodness. I can’t believe I just did that!”?
Or perhaps done something that made your husband shake his head in disbelief, shrug his shoulders and say, “I don’t get it.”?
I did something that made both of those things happen. And instead of pretending it never happened, I’m going to share it here. And then run and hide.
What did I do? I filmed myself lip-synching to Tenacious D’s Tribute. I did it for a few reasons: because why not?; because I thought it would be fun; because I love that song; and, because I couldn’t think of a better way to make a YouTube debut.
But mostly, I did it to cheer someone up. Someone I’ve not met in person, but feel like I know.
If you haven’t met Eden Riley of Edenland, go and meet her. (But not until after you’ve finished reading this post. Otherwise, I’ll have lost you – you’ll spend the rest of the day reading through her posts instead.) She’s had a tough year. A tough couple of years. And October is a particularly sucky time for her.
So here’s my entry into Eden’s first annual international lip-sync awards. Enjoy. Or just laugh. It’s the same thing, sometimes.
(And if the video below doesn’t work, you can view it at YouTube.)
Have you entered? What song would you choose to lip-sync to?
My video isn’t working. I will be back later when I’m on the computer. Can’t wait to see this.
I can’t decide if I hope you came back, or if I’m glad one less person has seen it!
Haha. You are awesome. I love this. I am actually working on my entry for this comp. It’s a very fast rap. I’m struggling with the lyrics at the moment, but will get it down pat before the comp closes. I hope!!
Thank you! And man, I hope to see your rap. I hope they let you post it eventually!
You’re freaking it and a bit, Em! Loved it – I started belly laughing when Carl appeared and then I totally lost it throughout. THANK YOU for giving me that most awesome of experiences when the sound of your own rumbling laughter is the only sound you can hear. x
Thank you so much! Glad it brought you joy.
Aw I love this sooo much! Awesome Em!
Thank you Jodi!
Freaking Hilarious! Great job. x
Thank you so much!
I love this song so much! You are so funny! Kyle also deserves a stellar mention 🙂
He steals the show, doesn’t he? (But the ego on him, GAH!)
Brill Emily! My husband saw a thing on Facebook the other day. It was a Tribute car with a sticker that said, “This is not the greatest car in the world. This is just a tribute.” Hehe.
Good job 🙂
Best. Bumper. Sticker. EVER.
Cracker – Tegan from Musings of Misguided did the same song – LOVE LOVE this – mine was way more embarrassing!!! Yours is funny, clever and AWESOME -Em – also visiting as part of #teamIBOT
Thanks Em! You did two, though – you win!
Just had to say I watched it again for a laugh!!
Nawww, thanks love!
I joined in on the Lip Syncing as well. I did it on a bit of a whim so I didn’t prepare at all. I lip synced to Tribute as well, but no where near as well as you did!
I’m so sorry we did the same song! I only looked at the others after posting mine. But hey, we have great taste!!
omg, this is fantastic. I am loving these videos. But no, I am not making one. Sorry Eden, love ya guts still.
Fair enough, it’s not for everyone! (I would have thought that included me, to be honest, but there you go!)
Love it! You are so clever. We love this song and you had us laughing all through it!
Thanks Carla!
Oh you are incredibly AWESOME! You’ve missed your calling! 🙂
Yes, if only I could make a career out of lip-synching to comedic tunes with teddy bear props!!
That’s not just some ace lip sinking that’s quite a performance! LOL. How fun. I have considered joining in too, but alas I’m feeling a bit too shy…. fancy that, me who used to do this stuff for a living?!?
I hope you changed your mind! I’ll have to jump back on youtube and see what’s there.
Awesome Em, one of my favourite songs, and you did it brilliantly!! x
Thanks Lisa!
Oh, I love, love, love this sooo much. Go you good thing. Goodness what a great choice too x
Thank you so much, Bele!
