This video is a parody of the Social Network Trailer (video below) using the biggest viral video of the Internet. « The Scala Choir’s haunting cover of Radiohead’s « Creep » adds a certain sinister drama to the trailer that we’re not sure the story can live up to. » But in my mind, this video is just the representation of the human condition and it gives a poetic vision of it.
With the first clip, I felt so sad, like the hamster was dying or something. D: And it was like keyboard cat was playing this song. And the Star Wars kid? It was like he was protecting his nation from the enemy. And when the panda sneezed, it looked like it did one of those startling dying-coughs, and the mom was afraid it would die as it slowly rested its head back to the ground again. The Coke and Mentos were like some sort of dramatic tribute… What is this I don’t even. D8
The song is about modern alienation, the heightened sense of disconnect we all experience from being « connected » in our modern technologically-driven lives. This video is unintentionally brilliant.

Au départ, il y avait la bande-annonce de The Social Network (un film qui raconte la création de Facebook) avec cette chorale qui reprend Creep de Radiohead. Puis il y a eu le site Urlesque qui voulait montrer que cette chanson pouvait tout rendre dramatique. Du coup, ils ont utilisés les vidéos virales les plus vues du monde pour illustrer leur propos. Au final, nous avons une incroyable vidéo qui reflète la condition humaine d’aujourd’hui au travers de ces vidéos qui ont intéressé, amusé, révolté des millions de gens dans le monde. Cette vidéo nous montre le vecteur commun qui rassemble. Une belle leçon involontaire.
