Everyone has heard about viral videos. They are in the
everyday chatter at the office; the funny comments from an old friend, and if
you don’t keep up there is a new one that you have yet to hear about.
Viral videos are almost always bizarre, have something
extraordinary and are funny. Most of them contain catchy music that you can’t
seem to forget. Including all of these features is the latest sensation Gangnam
Style, a song by a Korean singer that has over 500 million views in less than
three months.
Another viral musical sensation border lining the bizarre is
Rebecca Black’s song Friday.
Some people can cash in on being the subjects of viral
videos like Antoine Dodson who became an instant celebrity after an interview
about a man who invaded his apartment was transformed into song and went viral.
He created a t-shit line, Halloween costume, Iphone application for tracking
sexual predators and is slated to appear in the movie “The Chronicles of Rick
Roll”.
Another selling merchandise is Debbie, the cat lover who
wants to date online.
Many viral videos include animals, especially cats, and seem
to be a favorite among Internet users.
Spoofs are also a great way to know your video is being well
received by the mass public. If people take an interest to re-creating it is
because it is special. The Harvard Baseball team made a video with the song
Call Me Maybe and many other teams responded.
