I'm also with the “I hate Train” camp. That song is annoying as f%ck!

You Debbie Downers make me wanna vomit. It was cute.

this was actially filmed at the University of Victoria, on Vancouver Island, BC.  here's a quick link

Actually, the fun quality does win me over

I keep watching the girl at the beginning in the devil costume and rewinding. Am I missing anything?

I don't know if you all noticed, but its not an English school which is why the “lip dub” sucked - they weren't singing it in English!

Train should have derailed 10 years ago.

The <3 is for the happy effort.
But yeah, this song makes me want to gouge my own eyes out, just so I have something to shove in my ears.

You can barely see people actually sing.

As much as I love this video because of hometown pride… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zcOFN_VBVo
these guys were more impressive by far.

now if only we put this much effort into enacting social change, we'd all be good.

While this is impressive, the lyrics to this song make me want to shit blood almost as badly as Lenny Kravitz's “Fly Away.”

a lot of those people looked like they were concentrating way too hard.

This is so freakin happy! I love it

Goddammit, I hate Train.

“The way you can cut a rug, watching you's the only drug I need
You're so gangsta, I'm so thug, you're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself now finally, in fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you be with me” So… recap. This a song about dating a black girl. He calls her “gangster”, continuously says it's “not fair” that she can dance/move so well, and says he doesn't care if other people see them together. You know what, this might not even be racist. He might just be really really excited about the relationship. It's just a coincidence that he has a super Al Jolson-y way of expressing that.

Train is the worst.

It's not really a lipdub, since like 90% these people aren't even trying to lipsynch. If you ignore that, the video is moderately entertaining though.

welp, so far the 21st Century has done nothing but create a bunch of annoying bullshit.
