I can't make sense of the point behind this video but that's why I have a science site and not a chat show like "Gylne Tider".

They made a promotional video of people lip syncing a remake (1987) of Paul McCartney's "Let It Be" (I know, I know, it was technically The Beatles, but we all know their agreeing to list themselves as Lennon-McCartney gave John Lennon a lot more credit for Beatles work on those last few albums than he deserved - he was phoning it in) but they aren't singers - and the subtitles are fun to read.

Tonya Harding, the not Don Johnson guy from Miami Vice, Glenn Close Botox-ed into oblivion, Katarin Witt on air guitar and many others - this is a keeper.
