New Kidz Bop Video - "Crazy"

Gnarls may have had their asses handed to 'em by NARAS's left-wing country fans, but this Kidz Bop clip ensures that the children shall forever sing in praise of Cee-Lo's ode to insanity. The lead kid's got a hell of a smile, and during that epileptic-fit inducing strobe light section, he works the platinum wig and shades look like a mini Sly at the '06 Grammys. Damn those kids love the camera in a way that is not at all disturbing.

I liked this video better when it was U2's "Numb."

I dare anyone to shoot a better video for the $2.48 that cost.
That kid could have used some schooling at the Asslee Simpson School of Lip Synching.

I think the lipsync complaint owes more to the audio and video being slightly offtrack (as is so common with Flash video.)

I'm always amazed at how much kids love to watch other kids get stuff dumped on their head.

Man, when I was that age, I would've loved to've had a girl shampoo my hair/head. Lucky bastard.

Of course, I would've killed myself, had I also been involved with Kidz Bop. So it's not a win-win.

A mere candle to the glowing beacon that was the Since U've Been Gone Kidz Bop. But an thoroughly hilarious find nonetheless.

Yeah, this is a complete ripoff of U2's "Numb" video. No belly dancers this time around though.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it now! When did Stevie Wonder record his own cover of Crazy? And why was I not informed?
