Yet Another "Crazy" Cover

Viral vid from break.com...

"This kid forgets that he doesn't have a doorknob and is caught on camera by his older brother singing and dancing to Gnarls Barkley's new song Crazy. This is by far one of my favorite videos ever. I must have watched it 20 times already. I was dying when he breaks it down at the end."
Watch here.

Seems totally staged to me, but -- hey, it's funny. Enjoy the traffic break.com.

If it's for reals, I hope this kid becomes the next Ghyslain and Cee wears a costume of him at the VMAs.

Because we haven't seen enough videos before of overweight tween boys dancing while they think nobody's watching? Slowing down the production of crap like this is the main reason I support defeating America's obesity epidemic.

enough with the gnarls, it's just overkill.

although, the new trend is obviously videos of skinny kids dancing and singing to songs.

Dancing in your room should be private and cute, and I'd always be a bit shamed about it. No fucking way that we should stage it and broadcast it over the internet. It takes away the charm of it all.

The way the kid runs over to the door so quickly after the song ends really makes it seem staged.

That was so ME when I was a kid. That kid needs to know that I grew up, lost the baby fat, got hot, finished grad school, am rocking a hot job and doing what I want.

Life can get better, butterball, trust me. But I still sing like that. Alone.

Hey Kim: There is a good chance you will die completely alone.
