Hello!

I'm posting this with fingertrouble in mind, but it's of general interest.
This movie clip compilation "sings" Lionel Ritchie's "Hello" -- quite clever!

I admire dedication.

(ETA) It occurs to me that this is the second construct-a-song mashup I saw yesterday. The first one was easier to find material for, I'm sure, since everyone was actually singing the same song. But ... wow! Are there movie transcripts out there to make it searchable, or did the author really have a mental index which let them say, "oh, I can use this clip here!'?

(According to the YouTube video, there were 350k covers of "Rolling in the Deep" on YouTube. That's staggering.)

Cool!

I tried looking more into the video I posted but his site is pretty Dutch. That sounds like a euphemism but it's not. Perhaps I can get a co-worker to translate some of it for me.

This thing he did would be harder to search transcripts for. Maybe he has the closed-captioning scripts? http://www.mattatjeoorlog.nl/?p=336

(Audio from When Harry Met Sally may not be safe for work.)

Ha! Wow, that's a kind of disturbing montage. Snow White, really!
