Oh is it that people have dubbed other songs over the video on YouTube and it looks remarkably like Mr Buble is singing the dubbed song? I saw a particularly funny Russian one. DINGDINGDING!!! We have a winner. **********SPOILER********** Olden times -> B.C. -> British Columbia -> Burnaby -> Michael Bublé A well-known Game -> The Game -> Yale -> George Bush (the first one) -> "Read my lips, no new taxes" -> Lip reading A turkey -> three in a row -> sweep -> Supermarket And what connects these? The YouTube video "Russian Unicorn": a "bad lip reading" version of Michael Bublé's "Haven't Met You Yet," the video of which takes place in a supermarket. Excellent work everyone, especially Peter there at the end. New puzzle in a jiffy. Has this become a popular Youtube spoof like 'Hitler in the bunker' or 'Fenton' that has gone viral. Well, the video has over 2 million views, so... | ||

Nice one. It is a very funny vid. If you haven't checked out 'Fenton' I urge you to do so. People are putting the soundtrack over famous movie clips including a scene from Indiana Jones. |
