- Bad Lip Reading( BLR )【 2 albums 19 lyrics 】
- Bad Lip Reading (abbreviated as BLR) is a YouTube channel, run by an anonymous individual in the music production business, that spoofs clips from films, TV shows, songs, sports, and political news stories by overdubbing humorous vocal work that matches the lip movements of the targets. Rolling Stone described the channel as 'the breakout hit' of the 2012 United States presidential cycle. As of December 2017, the Bad Lip Reading YouTube channel had amassed over 6.25 million subscribers and over 910 million views across its videos.
History
The 'Bad Lip Reader' behind the channel is an anonymous music and video producer from Texas. The first Bad Lip Reading video released was a spoof of Rebecca Black's song 'Friday', entitled 'Gang Fight'. New music and lyrics were matched to Black's video to make it appear as though she were singing about gang warfare. The 'Gang Fight' YouTube video, released in March 2011, earned BLR a million hits and thousands of subscribers.
More spoof videos followed, including interpretations of The Black Eyed Peas' 'Boom Boom Pow' (a viral video called 'Everybody Poops'); Taylor Swift's 'Our Song'; and Michael Bublé's 'Haven't Met You Yet'. The latter was transformed into the 'electronica-inspired' 'Russian Unicorn', which Bublé himself praised as his 'new favorite song' and 'one of the coolest things I've ever seen'.
In September 2011, BLR branched out from pop singers to politicians with a 'bad lip-reading' of Texas governor and US Presidential hopeful Rick Perry. BLR replaced clips of Perry with invented dialogue matched to his lip movements. After airing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the video was featured by news and media outlets across the United States, leading to a sudden surge in Bad Lip Reading's popularity. Following the Perry spoof, BLR released bad lip-readings of President Obama, Republican presidential candidates Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum.
The channel found even more success in November 2012 when it began overdubbing popular movie and television shows. BLR's version of Twilight quickly went viral, followed by parodies of The Hunger Games; The Walking Dead; and Game of Thrones. The videos have been well-received not only by the public, but also by the cast and creators of the properties being spoofed. In her online blog, Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Lawrence's co-star in The Hunger Games, said, 'Bad Lip Reading is awesome. I was introduced to it by none other than Jennifer Lawrence. Yup — she saw this, people. And she laughed. And so did I. A lot.' Lawrence's co-star Josh Hutcherson also praised the video, tweeting it to his fans. The cast and creators of The Walking Dead have publicly praised the Bad Lip Reading 'Walking Dead' videos on several occasions.[citation needed]
Expanding his scope yet again, in January 2013 BLR released a bad lip-reading of National Football League players, coaches, and referees, which would go on to become the channel's most popular video. A second NFL video followed in 2014, and a third was released in 2015.
As of late 2017, Bad Lip Reading's second most viewed YouTube upload, and most popular musical production, is 'SEAGULLS! (Stop It Now)', released in 2016 and dubbed from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, in which Yoda sings to Luke Skywalker, from personal experience, about the dangers posed by vicious seagulls if one dares to go to the beach.
In a Rolling Stone interview, the producer behind the Bad Lip Reading videos said that he first encountered the technique of lip reading when his mother, then in her 40s, lost her hearing due to unknown causes. While she excelled at lip reading, he was unable to pick up the skill despite trying: 'I was terrible at it.'
In 2013, Bad Lip Reading won the Webby Awards' People's Voice Award for 'Comedy: Long Form or Series'. In April 2014, BLR won the American Comedy Award for Best Viral Video for its 'NFL: A Bad Lip Reading' video. Patrick Stewart accepted the award on BLR's behalf during the televised ceremony on NBC.
On June 8, 2014 the BLR Facebook page announced the release of the full version of 'Modify' by Kniles, a song that has been used in multiple BLR productions. The fact that this song was used without previous attribution, as well as stylistic similarities to other BLR-produced songs, have prompted speculation that Kniles is another pseudonym for the individual behind Bad Lip Reading.
