What gives? The voices are all wrong. Kermit doesn't sound anything like that.

I have trouble taking this seriously now that Kermit is staring in Homicide.

Best rick roll ever.
However, it is nonetheless a rick roll and you shall be burned alive for this transgression.

Can you have a 'best' rickroll ever? Surely some other adjective might be better applied?

The "lip" synching on the rickroll video is pretty solid actually.

Am I the only person left on the net who hasn't yet been Rickrolled? They were talking about it on Radio 4 yesterday for crying out loud and it was news to me. I feel very behind the curve...

I liked both those links. Funny stuff.
But can we please stop with the "That is all" though? a) Because it never is all and b) the period informs us of the end of a post quite well enough.

I think Kermit's talents are much better spent doing NIN unplugged than lipsynching NWA. (as seen previously on MeFi)

I prefer The Muppets performing selections from Carmina Burana.

The rick roll lip synching was a lot better than the NWA one.

While we're at it, can we stop with all remixes, variations, spoofs, and tributes to F*ck the Police? They make me so tired!

The second link actually got a little smile, but that doesn't make up for how utterly lame the first link was. Zero sum game = weak post.

Let's go back to "As it was so written so shall it be done."

That would have been great if the mouth movements matched up with the lyrics more than once every ten seconds.

Your Metafilter, son?
Howabout you younguns get off my lawn? NOW.
I found they put some work into trying to match the lipsynching. Yay them. If I had liked the song at all, I think I would have found it more amusing.

See, I laughed at 1:58 when the blue muppet gave up the lip syncing and began eating Bert's arm chair. That shit was funny.

30 replies and nobody referenced the brilliant NWP line from JASBSB?
For shame, Metafilter.

NWA is the funniest rap group ever.

ROFL!

Not very well done, and not even that funny of an idea. The guy just took a bunch of Sesame Street clips and strung them together with Fuck Tha Police playing over them. He didn't even edit them or make the words match up to the mouth movements. There are a thousand better-done "incongruous characters made to appear like they're singing or saying something outrageous" on YT.

And then there's GWAR's homage, The Salaminizer:
With an axe, sword, mace, pike you're limbless
And then I'll fuck your ass 'til it's rimless
The song that gave the world "suckadickalickalog".

Also also (sorry, I'm always remembering stuff I wanted to write after I already posted): did you guys know Fuck Tha Police was written after Dre and Eazy were pulled over by the cops for shooting paintball guns at road signs? Yeah. And you thought it was a visceral call to war by an oppressed minority against a crooked police force. Well, it still is, but when you know the story it kind of diminishes the impact.

This required a lot less editing finesse, but it's more seamless:
Barney hits 'em up.

Actually, the Muppet version of Gangsta's Paradise is very well synched.
And while you're there, don't miss Gangsta's Paradise verarsche.
