Lips to 2 Da Floor




This is pure jokes. But why? In essence it is funny clips set to/synchronized with a grime track. Is its appeal similar to that of the Taz & Beefy (see post Too Funny) d&b video? In that in our heads, drum & bass/jungle is like grime and is a very SERIOUS and TOUGH, form of street music. Which we don't really associate with laughing, jokes and especially not taking the piss out of itself. So when we see silliness set to these sorts of sounds it's a guaranteed laugh! Or maybe I'm - as ever - over analyzing, and it's as simple as slapstick humour for the myspace/youtube generation. I'm sure Tony Hancock would approve. As would Coldcut for the innate understanding of A-V (synchronizinng images with music or VJing) dynamics.

Hat tip to grime soldier, Ross for the heads up on this
