Tube Dubber

Tube Dubber - Combine the visuals from one YouTube video with the audio from another. If you come up with a good one, you can submit it to the Tube Dubs blog. Simple concept, occasionally-glorious execution

Okay, the M83-Maru mash is epic win on every level and I'm hardly even drunk and it got me all teary-eyed.

I'm bracing myself for the inevitable Rick Astley dubs.

So, I hope you guys are having a good night, because now I'm not. Thanks for nothing, Tube Dubber!

No Flash at work, but if no one has linked to the Anthony Weiner/Kronos Quartet dub, please do.

They need to make a state out of that M83Maru mix. Put that shit on a Wheaties box. That was civilization-defining.

Maru + Mogwai + Carl Sagan

One of my favorites from the blog:
BBC News Countdown (w/ audio from American 1982 news intro)
The other way around.

It's awesome when they work in both directions. Weirdly, both offer improvements over the original. (Also: Obligatory)

Well, it could be better, but there are some pleasing moments of sync.

Who needs a choice of audio when you've got the Benny Hill theme wrapped up in a single, easy to use page?

Eh, I don't know what was wrong with my troubles above... I changed to a different video (the non- Capitol Records one) and it started working. Anyway I was able to recreate my very first VHS experiment in 1984: a mix of "I Want A New Drug" and "Born On The Bayou". I always enjoyed jumbling up contrasting music cultures.

Just submitted this one. A much better song for the Soprano's finale. (Note: it seems like you have to press the big "play" button at the bottom in order for it to work).

I'd like to see a button to easily swap the videos instead of copy and pasting from the address bar, a general volume control, and an auto-buffer option.

At first I was like, "meh", then I was all "You know what would make a great soundtrack to the trailer for Death Hunt?"

Man, I hope somebody comes up with something that provides a much better song for the Sopranos finale.

!Too funny for work!

Hmm, you'll need to input video start time of 31 and audio start time of 6 and hit the 'Play' button after it loads and autoplays to get it to sync correctly.
