No offense to the girls, but I don't understand what was so appealing or why this video 'made it'...

It was the first that spawned all the copy cat lip sinc fools on You Tube. My hunch is when someone thinks they've made a good and unique lip sinc vid of themselves, someone else probably busts their bubble with a link to 'HEY' and tells them it's been done before. Hence, lots of hits to the vid.

i was thinking of this the other night. 4th most watched video. 10 million hits and it's a Pixies song of all songs.

It don't make sense but it does.

I saw this the other day, too. I didn't realize it was going to be the Pixies' Hey ... I just thought the girl in the photo was hot, so I clicked it. Then I gagged my way through the stupid video. Honestly, I have no idea how it's No. 4, unless 9.9 million people thought she was hot like I did.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16

Israel's wildly successful YouTube dance duo do
it again! (video)


Remember those two women who had a monster YouTube video
of them lip-synching a Pixies song?

With a single three-minute dance video, two young Israeli
women accomplished what the country's public relations
officials have been after for decades - gaining an audience
of 10 million adoring viewers.

With the help of YouTube, a Web site that allows people to
watch and share videos for free, Lital "Tasha" Mizel and
Adi "Dishka" Frimmerman have made their lip-synching
interpretation of rock group The Pixies "Hey" the fourth
most popular video of all time, with 9,993,604 viewers to
date.


Well, get on your dancin' shoes, 'cause, they're back! From their
video page:

Me and Dishka created, edited and danced to the
cute song from the 60's "Do you love me" by "The
Contours"
and the song: Dr. Demento - Funny Farm "They're Coming
To Take Me Away."

We were inspired by "American Apparel" cool clothes!
