Bad Lip Reading/Awesome
- BLR themselves. Somehow they've managed to release ten videos, the last two about 4 weeks apart. That's writing lyrics, new music, editing, recruiting singers and musicians. And somehow no one still knows anything about them.
- And that's not just writing lyrics and music, that's writing lyrics and music that match an already made video and fit nearly perfectly with the real singer's lip movements while still being coherent (albeit with Word Salad Lyrics), as well as finding singers who sound just like the people in the videos. So they somehow watch the real videos with no sound, and come up with a completely different interpretation of what's going on the video from scratch, all while making a song that's far catchier and more impressive than the original (that, of course, is YMMV). If that's not the work of some absolutely brilliant musicians, I don't know what is.
- Even better? It's one guy. Yes, he does the female parts.

- Just Michael Bublé's response to "Russian Unicorn" during an interview for Ustream, and the official one here.
- Releasing two videos in one day after not having a video for three weeks. If that's not awesome...
