What is the best way to create a viral video that the youtube audience globally will just gobble up? Combine the hottest things going on right now. This is just fantastic. A combination of several different super hot things - the new Harry Potter movie and the gigantic G6 song. It is a 'parady' song by a 'professional' youtube channel. By professional what I mean is that invest heavily into their clips, post a lot and often, and have got a combined channel upload views count of 103.5 million. This clip was posted on the 19th and has already clocked up quarter million views (bear in mind that it is still the 21st in most places around the world). 250,000 views in 2 days - that is quite a reach. Not seen the original G6 song? It is very catchy, heavily autotuned and just getting thrashed everywhere, even in our office... We have it all here for you, along with a nice back story. The Far East Movement and their song G6 have been storming the scene globally. Simple song, confusing yet intriguing lyrics, and a huge reliance on the autotune. Love it. Here is a club mix of the track. Here is the original 'radio' edit that has no video. And finally here is a clip that discusses the meaning of the obscure lyrics.
