Totally rocked it! Made me want to get up and dance.

And Beyonce owes you. Because now there's this little slice of the world who has never heard that song before (like me - news radio junkie). Now I have it stuck in my head, downloaded to my iPod, and saved to my "Get Your @$$ Moving" playlist.

We do want to make our products someone else's. I love it when someone calls our restaurant "our place." I know I have a loyal customer. It's not just another chain, but the spot they love. That means they'll be back. It isn't just good for business; it refuels your passion.

I've been a fan of this song and video for a few weeks. These girls do an amazing job in one take. But the first parody I saw of it was by The Dan Band and man, they really killed it. Plus they have the whole humor thing going for them. If you liked this video, you'll get a kick out of The Dan Band (see http://www.youtube.com/watc....

One take, yupp, but how much practice went into that one take? How much time? That's the real beauty. One take didn't happen overnight. It took practice and time. Oh, and don't forget, passion. For someone to spend so much time on practice, the passion has to be there.

I got addicted to this video, sharing it with my god daughters who love it. We looked on YouTube and cannot find the full length version - "just" the mashup of several performances in which they are included.

Please Chris - how can I find link to the full version?

Thanks for posting this, Chris. Loved the attitude, espec. in last 5 secs when they break character and strut off - as they DESERVE to do! Brava for their performance!
Yep, if I could get my clients to 'imitate/flatter' me like this, I'd be doing cartwheels! Thanks for the inspiration -- I'm setting this as a business goal!

Kinda like what Mac has done with their stuff (laptop, iPhone, iPod). There is a definite cult like movement of thousands who 'own' their Mac product.

Chris,
Is it "Make your products someone else’s" or "Make someone else’s products your own"?

Yes, NC girls KNOW how to 'rock it.' I think I need to make plans for a YouTube hot blogger/Twitterlicious/Brogangroupies video.

Chris: While this is not your point at all - it's very timely for me because yesterday my house full of boys were searching all the copycat youtube videos for Beyonce's Single Ladies. One of my favorites though is this one - the "heavy" guy: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

The original skit on SNL with Justin Timberlake is one of the funniest, but they've taken it off of YouTube b/c of copyright reasons. This one gives parts though: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I still have that house full of boys so I'm going to share it with them and hear what they have to say . . Thanks for the rather lighthearted post this am.

Chris,
Great post. If enough marketers made stuff that people wanted to claim as their own, we'd have a lot more great stuff out there. It made me think of why giving the Queen of England an iPod was such a brilliant idea. (aside from its symbolism of American innovation that changes the world). Out of all the millions of iPods that are floating out there in the world, no two are the same. And each and every one of them is "my iPod" to somebody. That's a passion brand. And I'll bet you the queen likes hers!

I didn't realize that Beyonce was releasing her songs as creative commons these days.

That's the power of the web/blog/twitter ; it allows you to cut the middlemen and go straight to the public.
Good dancers :)

That was pretty good, its great when there is something out there for everyone to put themselves into and make an instant community out of it.That dance is hot stuff and theres tons of contests and videos on that one, i think i saw one on Ellen a while back too.It's actually a very exceptional talent that put it together. Music can do that like very few industries can.

Go girls from Carolina! They've got spirit. They've got spunk. The dancing duo put it together with varied moves. Great choreography. I bet they practiced hours and hours and hours to get it right. Bravo!
