Auto Tunes with Flula: This is what YouTube was invented for

It actually might be what the whole dam internet was invented for. Flula is a Teutonic titan of the cover song, provided he is doing it in his car. He employs a sampler, a laptop and sometimes analogue instrumentation provided by himself or at other times by his father who plays accordion and the occasional backing vocal. His mom sometimes will sing a chorus while driving the car. He makes everything, no matter how disparate, sound like Falco by way of Weird Al Yankovic.

Him and his family doing LL Cool J's don't-call-it-a-comeback single "Mama Said Knock You Out" is the first video I saw. It is still probably the best.

He enlists some straight men for the backseat and someone who seems like a gay Larry The Cable Guy for "All About That Bass" (no salmon).

He responds to his YouTube commentators too and even that's funny:

Cuz he's in a car playing music.
I feel stupid.

Flula (4 months ago)

He's got a lot more. Not every one is as brilliant but every one is brilliant in it's own little way. It's the light at the end of the internet. It's glorious. And I don't even smoke pot.
