Weekend Fun: Don't Miss The Battle of the Lip Dub Videos

Digg Dubb: Groove Is In The Heart from Trammell on Vimeo.
A new viral lip dub video has appeared (embedded above). This time courtesy of the staff at Digg. I would say it's a worthy follow-up to the video done at the offices at College Humor and Connected Ventures (see below). Revision3 has also joined the party with a lip bud video of their own (embedded at the bottom, gotta love INXS). Think about it, these videos are not just viral branding for the companies but also smart recruitment tools...

well, "worthy follow-up" should not be EXACTLY THE SAME

so... now they've proven that other people can do the exact same thing. neat. 1) the cutest chicks still work at collegehumor.com. 2) the CH.com folks sure sell it the best... those guys are nutty! 3) the Vimeo version is so irony-free as to be one step up from teenage girls lip-syncing in their bedrooms on youtube. maybe that's the point. 4) the DIGG folks also do a nice job. a perfectly adequate version of the exact same concept. with fewer cute girls. i do like how they are all drinking beer. so people... maybe next time we bring something new to the table, and not directly copy people who have already done it better, hmmmm? man, i'm a snotty bastard.

Ha-ha, good points

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but how often is the sequel better than the original? Maybe they should have been drinking wine instead...
