Here is a look at all the details, jokes, and references hidden in this video: http://imgur.com/a/x1hMw" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Made by a Reddit user. They're not all spot on, like the 30 Rock one is questionable, but still, interesting stuff!

Re: Word Crimes
Just as I'd predicted, my least favorite parody target is (probably, it's still early) my favorite parody on MF.
Definitely a new classic in Al's catalog.
And the video just makes it even better.

Re: Word Crimes
It may be premature for me to state this, but I think this might be my favorite parody he's ever done. Previously, it was "White and Nerdy," and the more I listen to this, the more I enjoy it and find it even stronger than W&N. The lyrics are so tight and every line is clever. W&N has flaws that this one doesn't have.

I have a strong feeling this will be the sleeper hit of the summer.

Re: Word Crimes
I'm not necessarily what you would call a "fan" of Robin Thicke...he's a douche. But the fact that he shared this video on Twitter AND Facebook, makes me like him a little bit...you don't see a lot of celebrities acknowledge parodies of their songs...in fact this is the first I've seen of it.
Let me be your stripper.

Re: Word Crimes
Actually, it says "Learn your ABC's." I do believe that is a grammatical error in the Word Crimes video (hey, somebody had to spot one).ectomaster wrote:Ok, loved the LOST reference. Even better when the ABC logo comes on it says "Learn your ABCs, doofus" XD

Re: Word Crimes
Not sure if this has been pointed out just yet, but here is one of my favorite pieces of wordplay in this song...
"Due" is a homophone for "do" or "dew."
"Past" is a homophone for "passed."Time to learn your homophones is past due.
"Due" is a homophone for "do" or "dew."

Re: Word Crimes
As much as I hate it when people do that, I think it can be considered proper grammar.

Re: Word Crimes
I've tried to see if this has been posted but there's so much posted today that it's overwhelming.
Here's Jarrett Heather's making of the video. There's a video of Al's demo of the song too!
EDIT: And then there was this email between Heather and Al
If this has been posted already just ignore it
