Bad Lip Reading is a YouTube channel that takes music videos of pop songs and writes their own original songs designed to match the lip movements of the people in the video, with little to no regard for making sense. Usually substantial editing of the original video is also involved. They got their start in March 2011 with "Gang Fight", a Gag Dub of Rebecca Black's notorious viral video "Friday", which took a song about having fun on the weekend and made it into a song about gang warfare and chicken. Most of their songs execute a similar dramatic shift in style and theme from the original.

| - Bad Lip Reading is a YouTube channel that takes music videos of pop songs and writes their own original songs designed to match the lip movements of the people in the video, with little to no regard for making sense. Usually substantial editing of the original video is also involved. They got their start in March 2011 with "Gang Fight", a Gag Dub of Rebecca Black's notorious viral video "Friday", which took a song about having fun on the weekend and made it into a song about gang warfare and chicken. Most of their songs execute a similar dramatic shift in style and theme from the original. Thanks to an anonymous interview, we now know that BLR is produced by a single man in Texas, a "music producer, songwriter, and musician," but his identity remains a mystery. His songs are being sold completely legally on iTunes (being original works) but the videos may yet fall victim to copyright claims (as "Dirty Spaceman" already has). A few, like "Trick the Bridesmaid," are based on public domain works and so safe from takedowns. So far BLR has released the following songs:
* "Gang Fight" -- based off of "Friday" by Rebecca Black
* "Asian Baby" -- based off of "That Should Be Me" by Justin Bieber and Rascal Flatts
* "Everybody Poops" -- based off of "Boom Boom Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas
* "Black Umbrella (The Right Stuff)" -- based off of "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus, featuring Snoop Dogg
* "Magic Man" -- based off of "My Chick Bad" by Ludacris, featuring The Bee Gees
* "Hot Jumping Beans" -- also based off of "That Should Be Me"
* "(Rockin') All Nite Long" -- based off of "Our Song" by Taylor Swift, featuring Wiz Khalifa
* "Dirty Spaceman" -- based off of "Check It Out" by will.i.am and Nicki Minaj. (Posted on an alternate account after the original was removed for copyright)
* "Russian Unicorn" -- based off of "Haven't Met You Yet" by Michael Buble
* "Morning Dew" -- based off of "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars, featuring Lady Gaga and Jay-Z
* "Beard With Glue" -- based off of "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt
* "Kicked Your Monkey" -- based off of "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye and Kimbra
* "Time To Rock" -- based off of "Hot Problems" by Double Take. BLR has also released soundbites from time to time:
* "Trick the Bridesmaid" -- based off of a speech by Barack Obama.
* "Rick Perry" -- based off of several speeches by Rick Perry.
* "Michele Bachmann" -- based off of Michele Bachmann ads.
* "Mitt Romney" -- based off of Mitt Romney speeches.
* "Herman Cain" -- based off of Hermain Cain's videos/speeches.
* "Ron Paul" -- based off of interviews/speeches by Ron Paul.
* "Newt Gingrich" -- based off of interviews/speeches by Newt Gingrich.
* "Strong" -- based off of Rick Perry's "Strong" ad.
* "Rick Santorum" -- based off of interviews/speeches by Rick Santorum.
* "Newt Gingrich" -- based off of interviews/debates from Newt Gingrich.
* "Joe Biden" -- based off of interviews/speeches by Vice President Joe Biden.
* "High School" -- based off of a clip of the eponymous movie.
