'Our Dogs Will Poop Directly Into Our Purses'
Bad Lip Reading strikes again with what might be their best effort since their first video (the Rebecca Black spoof "Gang Fight"). This new hotness takes Ludacris' "My Chick Bad," makes it about hobbits on mountaintops, and replaces Nicki Minaj with ... The Bee Gees. The new song is called "Magic Man."
Yeah, okay, it sounds a little weird, but let me make the case that this is the most creative Bad Lip Reading yet. It's got a coherent theme (the aforementioned hobbit situation) which some of BLR's recent work has been missing. It's also the first one to use footage that wasn't in the original video (the aforementioned Bee Gees appearance), and the effect is hilarious. Diagnosis: win.
Keep on keeping on, Bad Lip Reading. You're the best YouTube novelty account to come along in quite a while.

Actually, the Black Umbrella video also used content not from the original video with the appearance of Snoop Dogg. Both great videos. Also, I would have to argue as well that Black Umbrella had a very coherent theme. Such lyrics as "ain't no big cauliflower", her "flying" while the rest are on the floor, Snoop's appearance, and basically anything that seems strange or out of place is consistent with "smoking the right stuff". If you're high, it all is legit.

I'm gonna have to call Black Umbrella the best one - by far. Magic Man is good, but I couldn't even begin to guess how many times I've played the other. It's fantastic.
The thing that sets Black Umbrella apart is that it doesn't try too hard to be funny. The lyrics are entertaining and wonderfully absurd without being overtly "jokey". No silly voices, no 'fart jokes'.
I like the idea of someone hearing one of these things and, if they were to tune out the lyrics, mistaking it for a legitimate hit song you'd find on the radio. That's what I get from Black Umbrella, and none of the others. I think BLR works best as some sort of avant-garde, absurdist brand of pop music, rather than as comedy. Best when they play it straight, rather than winking at the listener with farting hobbits and spanking woods.
