This is, by far, the best parody video I've seen:
I especially enjoy the non-sequitur monster voice that mysteriously appears for just one phrase, then is never heard from again. These boys are geniuses.

That lil jon vid is pretty lazy, not even close to being in sync - somebody spent 5 minutes in final cut and it's worthy of watching on youtube? I'm not seeing it.

It's not the worst song of all time but it definitely isn't great. Her voice has been manipulated to sound so weird.

I just saw the clip of her on Leno the other night. They showed a clip of the video (and had her lip sync the song 'live') and they said that she is an 'internet sensation' with over 30 million hits, celebrity fans, and so on... but they never once even hint to the real reason the video took off in first place. I understand Leno is the king of softball interviews, but to not even address it in a gentle way is strange. If I was unfamiliar with the clip and my first exposure to it was on that Leno episode, without any context, I would be thinking "WTF?!?" It makes it seem like 30 million people legitimately love that song.

Didn't it only get "exposure" because Daniel Tosh either tweeted it or mentioned it in a blog, and shit spread from there

Why you U Fuckers hatin? It's a catchy tune.
Anyway, don't like it, blame the tastes of young white girls. America caters to their tastes.

The comments were opened up on youtube and they seem to be coming in 20-30 per second. Pretty funny.
