Bad Lip Reading Returns
I’ve long been a big fan of the Bad Lip Reading people. For those who haven’t seen their work, the premise is that they supposedly are trying to lip read various kinds of video…but just do a really awful job of it.
They’ve generally “lip read” political debates and hearings and sports sideline footage, though occasionally delve into entertainment. Their most recent is one of their most ambitious – it’s a truly terrible lip reading version of the Disney+ production of Hamilton.
It’s about six minutes and doesn’t cover the full breadth of the musical – though they call it “Segment 1,” so even though they've never done sequels before, I feel pretty certain they’ll be posting more.
What's fun, too, is that for this they decided to create a backstory on why the video exists. And what they came up with is a hoot, and puts the whole thing in an even more odd perspective.
I don’t know the lyrics of Hamilton well, most especially compared to those who can do the full show by themselves in the shower. But it still was a lot of fun for me. Especially when I realized that the title of their effort is the bad lip reading result of the main character’s name.
Curtain up. Here then is the first segment of -- – Axe-Assassin Albertson.
