Librarians rock. Show me how hard. ISO library-related parody videos.

April 19, 2015 9:13 AM

I'm looking for YT videos along the lines of "CheckItOut - Taylor Swift Parody Video for National Library Week" and "Librarians Remake Beastie Boys' 'Sabotage' Video, Win Internet." More like these, please?

A few librarian friends on Facebook have been joking about a non-existent collection of videos for "Library: The Musical!" Strictly for fun, I'd like to be able to add to their list. I am looking for links to YT videos of librarians parodying pop (and other genres of) music in order to promote libraries, books, and literacy in a fun way. The two videos linked above the fold are the kind of thing I'm searching for; what else is out there? Thanks!

Oh god, there are a zillion of them. Try this search for librarian parody on YouTube.

My favorite is All About Those Books (Start Reading!) at http://youtu.be/g2pu8nsUtCQ

Also I love the idea of Library: The Musical and you must post it on mefi Projects.

Does it have to feature librarians? The library at BYU has some fun parody videos promoting their services, but librarians aren't the stars. This OldSpice parody video is fantastic.

I love these too and there are never enough of them. I was going to point out this Poker Face sendup by University of Washington librarians. There are more at this bookriot post (and in the comments).
