Back in 2016, I did a post about the “without music” trend on YouTube. These are music videos with the music removed and some fairly imaginative foley (sound effects) and vocals added back in to replicate the original audio. I’ve been on the set of a number of music video recordings over the years, and I can tell you that what actually goes on when the sound isn’t going to be used is pretty hilarious.
The first video below surfaced on my Facebook feed yesterday, and it was too fun to keep to myself. Then, down the predictable rabbit hole I went, so here are my top three favorite recent #WITHOUTMUSIC offerings. Enjoy!

Like may not be the right word. Kinda silly.But I do like the blue dress and even though I was never a crazy fan of Elvis he is still KING> …I guess.

Silly is just what I needed today. And Elvis was certainly an incredible talent!

These are way more hilarious than they ought to be. I found myself chortling away. It’s a kind of cringe humour, isn’t it? The awkwardness is discombobulating and unsettling and removing the music allows us to focus on that. I just know I am going to end up watching loads of these.

I like how human it makes the artists seem. And I spent a good amount of time laughing at them, too!
