The Fallon Theory of Virality states that, in order for a musical parody video to blow up Facebook, it needs three ingredients: one normal thing, one super-popular thing, and one weird and unexpected thing. The roles aren’t quite as defined in this video of Mean Girls’ Daniel Franzese singing a “Stay With Me†parody about unpleasant one-night stands, and that might be why the effect of this one is slightly muted. Is Damian from Mean Girls our super-popular thing or our weird thing? Either way, Sam Smith and unpleasant one-night stands are both normal things. The formula is all off! At least throw some classroom instruments in there next time, guys.
Here’s Damian From Mean Girls Singing Sam Smith
