EDIT Sept 3, 2009, 3:20pm PST — it looks like the ‘net police have pulled down this video. Seems Ghibli didn’t want to be associated with the musical stylings of “The Lonely Island.” All you subversive rebels, feel free to post alternate links of this video in the comments section so it can be saved for posterity. It was THAT good, agreed?
ORIGINAL POST — Okay, so I was preparing a review for the Ponyo soundtrack (coming soon!), when I came across this incredibly well-done mash-up vid on YouTube. You’ll want to check it out. The Lonely Island’s instant classic “I’m On A Boat” is synchronized perfectly with scenes from Miyazaki’s latest. The lip syncs are decent, but what really stands out are the relevant scenes from the movie played alongside hilarious lyrics, making said scene even more hilarious. Case in point: “I’m ridin’ on a dolphin, doin’ flips and shit…” (starting at 0:55). It seems to be a pretty recent addition to the Internet. YouTube author “The Switcher” has done a great job with it. I hope he/she has more clever ideas up his/her sleeve. Anyway, enjoy!

This seriously made my night.
Amazing. The dolphins part was SO perfect.
Haha. Man. I wanted to post all the “The Lonely Island” stuff on OSV, but figured it was too… “cool.” Glad we finally snuck it in. =D They matched the mouth movements so perfectly.
An instant classic.
Apparently, this AMV maker also has one for “I’m the Boss” featuring scenes from the MGS series.
Nice find, Don. Indeed “Boss” + MGS is a good idea for an AMV.
ALSO, since we just featured a video with T-Pain, let’s check out a vid where T-Pain is INTENTIONALLY a part of the music.

Yeah that’s right. Autotune the News 8. Our boys, the Gregory Brothers (and the “sister”) are all there, and they’re HILARIOUS. And yeah, T-Pain got in on the action too. Faaaantastic!
