This Is A Video Response To R. Kelly (Feat. Usher) - "Same Girl" [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

We're not posting Mimi & Flo's shot-for-shot parody of R. Kelly & Usher's "Same Girl", "Same Dude", just because white artists covering black artists is one of blogging's less decorative evergreens, or to start a thread about Usher's U-Turn. No, we're posting it because Mimi & Flo's video is the kind of parody that is genuinely funny even if you haven't seen the original. How can you not love these two? Enjoy:

After the jump, the original, so you can figure out why Mimi is running alongside Flo's bike.

it's hard to say what my favorite part is. Maybe a toss up between the marshmallow fluff and the retainer.
