Alanis Sends Up Fergie
By David Hershkovits
We all love YouTube. It's an amazing resource for lost footage of great performances of one kind or another as well as a great outlet for new creative work. It has alas brought the much maligned genre of the musical video back from the dead. The latest one storming the Internet world is Alanis Morisette's devestating parody of the Black Eyed Peas and Fergie's "My Humps." She not only sends up the song, but the video takes a page from the YouTube aesthetic -- though it's intentionally bad unlike a lot of the just plain bad that's out there. Here's a funny take on the video.
