I like the post and it makes me think that it's remarkable that "Four Five Seconds" (Rihanna, Kanye, Paul McCartney) worked as well as it did.

You might appreciate this as well . . . The only reason I know the song is that I was following the NBA fairly closely when it came out and someone did a version of the video that spliced in footage of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. So the chorus, "four, five seconds to wilding" always makes me think of Westbrook gathering himself to attack the rim.

The other NBA video that I wish I could find was a version of Swifts "Style" re-written as a tribute to Dirk and Duncan.

There are a bunch of YT comments about how it seems like a random group thrown together for a class project (who then got an A).

I liked the one that joked that it was the smart girl, the jock, and the transfer student :)
