Yesterday's foray was so much fun that I had to do another one!
I think it was a Zumba video that first alerted me to this song. For me, it's a huge earworm. My current addiction was caused by hearing the song at the end of an episode of Supernatural - which caused a cataclysm as I will share with you today!
First, here is the original song and video (Study it, so you can appreciate what the other presenters have done.)
Shake It Off - by Taylor Swift
Fun video though I do find the twerking a bit repulsive.
The best cover I found was this very original video.
Shake It Off - as presented by Megan Nicole
Great voice, creative video, though it wasn't meant to imitate the one by Taylor Swift.
Another awesome "cover"...
Donald Trump Singing Shake It Off - as presented by Maestro Ziikos
Regardless of your position on President Trump, there is plenty to appreciate in this video - especially the painstaking effort in finding the President saying these words (or at least appearing to say them) for this song! My only regret is that this video is only 1:20 long.
One of my favorite mimics I found was this amazing one by a bunch of seniors.
Shake It Off - as presented by 80 Odd Years of Happy.
Wow! Aren't these guys great?! This seems to be a one-off for them which is unfortunate as I think they'd find a huge cash cow to keep doing these!
In the OMG, what did I just see category, I present to you:
Shake It Off - as presented by this German group, YTITTY.
(Warning: potentially offensive.)
You really don't have to be able to understand German to find this parody hilarious!
For my grande finale today, I have to use the ones who brought this to me in the first place:
Supernatural Parody by The Hillywood Show!
I have to sing this almost every single day now!!! (And you may have heard that a second parody is imminent!!!)
Now, to see just how awesome the Hillywoods are at doing this, please see my Honorable Mention - the Side-by-Side Comparison put together by Nellie Hope.
They really did do an awesome job, didn't they?!
Note: It appears that the featuring of the Shake it Off song in one of the Supernatural episodes ( a very different type of music to what they normally feature) was actually a nod back to the Hillywood Show! And that, of course, is how I came to do this post in the first place...
Which version of Shake it Off is your favorite? (If you have another favorite that I haven't mentioned, please comment with the link to that too!) Better go and sing the Supernatural one again...
(Note: All of these are YouTube videos by the original artists/performers - so they are getting the money for you watching.)
