This is a contender for my all-time favorite internet video, even rivaling the video of two kids performing a basketball trick on a skateboard (seen here) and Rap-Cat (seen here).  I love it because it displays the power of YouTube to draw us into the small, everyday, but completely insane, parts of other people’s lives.  10 or so years ago, no one would ever think to share a song they sing as they are looking for Chapstick, but here in Warhol’s future, not sharing this song would be unthinkable.  There is no way in the world I should even know what this girl looks like, much less hear her sing a song about Chapstick, much less find that thousands of others have also seen and heard the same.  The excess is beautiful.
