I love Bad Lip Reading videos, and I love it when they apply their way-off guesses at music videos (like they did with “Carl Poppa“). The new one is “Bushes of Love” sung by Obi Wan Kenobi. “These are not the lyrics you’re looking for…” [waves hand]
Hello there! I heard this song called "Bushes of Love," but it sounds like a song that I heard somewhere before, especially the chorus' melody. Do you know a song that sound very similar (especially the chorus)? Thanks for attention :) If you remember “Bushes of Love”, can we be friends? Bushes of Love is one of the best “Bad Lip Readings” to date with over 48 million views. That’s an insane amount of views! And that’s not even counting the views from the ten hour version that I may or may not put on at parties as a prank. Hey, when people are drunk and something’s on a loop it messes up with their sense of time, and to me that’s hilarious. Bushes of Love came out in 2016 from Bad Lip Reading and was quickly an internet phenomenon. It’s catchy and the lyrics are amazing. “49 times, we fought that beast. It had a chicken head with duck feet, with a woman’s face too.” I mean, come on. And the transition in the music when they sing, “In fact there was this huge mess and I had to change the floors, you see, his blood it drained into the floors and I had to change em'” Haven’t seen it recently? Here let me help you out. As you can see it’s a song where Old Ben is counseling the young Luke Skywalker on the perils of love. “Every day, I worry all day, about what’s waiting in the bushes of love”. It’s one of the best music lyric videos I’ve ever seen. If you do anything today put this on and enjoy. Bad Lip Reading also has other gems but none compare to the majesty that is Bushes of Love. Some come close but that one holds a special place in my heart. Some of the other ones include: “Seagulls! Stop it Now”“I Hate Sand”And of course.. “My Stick”All of these are great to put on today and sit back and work with. Otherwise they are great to put on any day and just kick back. Which one is your favorite? Tell us in the comments! 49 times, we fought that beast. Your old man and me. It had a chicken head with duck feet, With a Woman's face too. -Aw, that's rad! And it was waiting in the bushes for us, Then it ripped off your dad's face. He was screaming something awful. In fact there was this huge mess, And I had to change the floors. -The floors? You see, his blood, it drained into the boards, And I had to change 'em. But we all got a Chicken-Duck-Woman thing, Waiting for us. Every day I worry all day. About what's waiting in the bushes of love. Cause something's waiting in the bushes for us. Something's waiting in the bushes of love. Every day I worry all day. About what's waiting in the bushes of love. Something's waiting in the bushes for us. Something's waiting in the bushes of love. -Yo, Never knew My dad He didn't Care about me. Dead horizon, Is all my macro-binoculars see. Moisture-Farming All my life And not a drop spilt. My aunt and uncle, double suns, And sippin' blue milk. My aunt and uncle, double suns, I'm sick of blue milk. But then a desert hobo came and told me, -We all got a Chicken-Duck-Woman thing, Waiting for us. Every day I worry all day. About what's waiting in the bushes of love. Cause something's waiting in the bushes for us. Something's waiting in the bushes of love. Every day I worry all day. About what's waiting in the bushes of love. Something's waiting in the bushes for us. Something's waiting in the bushes of love. Hold me when I open like a flower. Hold me right (Right, right, right, right) Yeah, I ain't had to bake for a girl in a long time, A long time. -I think my cooking's awesome. I've got her picture in my photo wagon. -Ha ha, keep it poppin'. Yeah, She'd probably love to Honky tonk. (She'd probably love to Honky tonk.) That's what I said. I used to ride, Across the desert. You know, I used to glide, On my speeder. I pray that I don't find, What I don't wanna find. Waitin' for me 'round the corner, Oh no, no. I used to ride, Across the desert. You know, I used to glide, On my speeder. I pray that I don't find any more, -Crispy bodies by the door. 49 times, yeah it was 49 times. And now it might be waiting for you. Could be hiding behind that scrap pile. -That's just a big cow. I know you really want someone to hold you, But we all got a Chicken-Duck-Woman thing, Waiting for us. Every day I worry all day. About what's waiting in the bushes of love. Cause something's waiting in the bushes for us. Something's waiting in the bushes of love. Every day I worry all day. About what's waiting in the bushes of love. Something's waiting in the bushes for us. Something's waiting in the bushes of love. Every day I worry all day. About what's waiting in the bushes of love. Something's waiting in the bushes for us. Something's waiting in the bushes of love. Every day I worry all day. About what's waiting in the bushes of love. Something's waiting in the bushes for us. Something's waiting in the bushes of love. I used to ride, Across the desert. You know, I used to glide, On my speeder. I pray that I don't find, What I don't wanna find. Waitin' for me 'round the corner, Oh no, no. I used to ride, Across the desert. You know, I used to glide, On my speeder. I pray that I don't find, What I don't wanna find. Waitin' for me 'round the corner, Oh no, no. We've already written about Bad Lip Reading's funny take on the original Star Wars, but this new video from BLR is even more ridiculous than usual. It's a song called "Bushes of Love," which they imagine as an insane song performed by Obi-Wan Kenobi as he lectures young Luke Skywalker about the perils of love. Consider yourselves warned: if you watch/listen to this, it will very likely be stuck in your head for an indeterminate amount of time. As you might expect, the lyrics are utterly nonsensical, but I have to admit, the melody is pretty catchy.

Rolling Stone described the channel as "the breakout hit" of the 2012 United States presidential cycle.[2] As of November 2020, the channel had amassed over 8.02 million subscribers and over a billion video views.[3] Some of the channel's original songs are available on Spotify and Apple Music.[4]
The "Bad Lip Reader" behind the channel is an anonymous music and video producer from Texas.[5] The first Bad Lip Reading video released was a spoof of Rebecca Black's song "Friday", entitled "Gang Fight". New music and lyrics were matched to Black's video to make it appear as though she were singing about gang warfare. The "Gang Fight" YouTube video, released in March 2011, earned BLR a million hits and thousands of subscribers.[2] On March 21, 2021, this video and the channel turned a decade old. More spoof videos followed, including interpretations of The Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" (a viral video[6] called "Everybody Poops"); Taylor Swift's "Our Song" ("(Rockin') All Nite Long"); and Michael Bublé's "Haven't Met You Yet". The latter was transformed into the "electronica-inspired" "Russian Unicorn",[2] which Bublé himself praised as his "new favorite song"[7] and "one of the coolest things I've ever seen".[8] In September 2011, BLR branched out from pop singers to politicians with a "bad lip-reading" of Texas governor and US Presidential hopeful Rick Perry. BLR replaced clips of Perry with invented dialogue matched to his lip movements. After airing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the video was featured by news and media outlets across the United States, leading to a sudden surge in Bad Lip Reading's popularity. Following the Perry spoof, BLR released bad lip-readings of President Obama,[9] Republican presidential candidates Michele Bachmann,[10] Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum. The channel found even more success in November 2012 when it began overdubbing popular movie and television shows. BLR's version of Twilight quickly went viral, followed by parodies of The Hunger Games; The Walking Dead; and Game of Thrones. The videos have been well-received not only by the public, but also by the cast and creators of the properties being spoofed. In her online blog, Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Lawrence's co-star in The Hunger Games, said, "Bad Lip Reading is awesome. I was introduced to it by none other than Jennifer Lawrence. Yup — she saw this, people. And she laughed. And so did I. A lot."[11] Lawrence's co-star Josh Hutcherson also praised the video, tweeting it to his fans. The cast and creators of The Walking Dead have publicly praised the Bad Lip Reading "Walking Dead" videos on several occasions.[citation needed] Expanding his scope yet again, in January 2013 BLR released a bad lip reading of National Football League players, coaches, and referees, which became the channel's most popular video. A second NFL video followed in 2014,[12][13] and a third was released in 2015.[14] The NFL Bad Lip Reading video became an annual event for the channel, with each video being released shortly before the Super Bowl. In December 2015, Bad Lip Reading simultaneously released three new videos, one for each of the three films in the original Star Wars trilogy. These videos used guest voices for the first time, featuring Jack Black as Darth Vader, Maya Rudolph as Princess Leia, and Bill Hader in multiple roles.[15] The Empire Strikes Back BLR video featured a scene of Yoda singing to Luke Skywalker about an unfortunate encounter with a seagull on the beach. BLR later expanded this scene into a full-length stand-alone song called "Seagulls! (Stop It Now)", which was released in November 2016 (eventually hitting #1 on the Billboard Comedy Digital Tracks chart.[16]) As of December 2018, the video for "Seagulls! (Stop It Now)" is Bad Lip Reading's most viewed YouTube upload and most popular musical production. In the song, Yoda sings to Luke Skywalker about the dangers posed by vicious seagulls if one dares to go to the beach. Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films, publicly praised "Seagulls!" (and Bad Lip Reading in general) while speaking at Star Wars Celebration in 2017: "I love them, and I showed Carrie [Fisher] the Yoda one… we were dying. I showed it to her in her trailer. She loved it. I retweeted it… and [BLR] contacted me and said ‘Do you want to do Bad Lip Reading?’ And I said, ‘I’d love to…’”. Hamill and Bad Lip Reading collaborated on Bad Lip Reading's version of The Force Awakens, with Hamill providing the voice of Han Solo.[17] As of July 16, 2020, the video has more than 111 million views. The Star Wars Trilogy Bad Lip Reading videos also spawned a second musical number titled "Bushes of Love", which featured Ben Kenobi singing to Luke Skywalker about the perils of love. The song hit #2 on the Billboard Comedy Digital Tracks chart.[18] Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda described the song as "THE summer jam of 2017".[19] In January 2017, BLR released a Bad Lip Reading of Donald Trump's inauguration, which quickly went viral, amassing over 36 million views in 2017 alone. YouTube ranked the video at #7 on its list of the Top Ten Trending Videos of 2017.[20] In a Rolling Stone interview, the producer behind the Bad Lip Reading videos said that he first encountered the technique of lip reading when his mother, then in her 40s, lost her hearing due to unknown causes. While she excelled at lip reading, he was unable to pick up the skill despite trying: "I was terrible at it."[2] In 2013, Bad Lip Reading won the Webby Awards' People's Voice Award for "Comedy: Long Form or Series". In April 2014, BLR won the American Comedy Award for Best Viral Video for its "NFL: A Bad Lip Reading" video. Patrick Stewart accepted the award on BLR's behalf during the televised ceremony on NBC. On June 8, 2014 the BLR Facebook page announced the release of the full version of "Modify" by Kniles, a song that has been used in multiple BLR productions. The fact that this song was used without previous attribution, as well as stylistic similarities to other BLR-produced songs, have prompted speculation that Kniles is another pseudonym for the individual behind Bad Lip Reading.[21] A Bad Lip Reading of the Disney Channel original movie High School Musical premiered as a half-hour special on July 11, 2016 on Disney XD. Similarly, a half-hour Bad Lip Reading version of Descendants aired on November 18, 2017. In May 2018, BLR released "Royal Wedding", a Bad Lip Reading of the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The video quickly went viral, amassing millions of hits. When YouTube revealed the top trending videos of 2018, "Royal Wedding" ranked third in the UK, just behind the actual wedding itself. In March 2019, BLR released "Chocolate Lagoon", a Bad Lip Reading of the live performance of "Shallow" by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga at the 91st Academy Awards ceremony.[22][23] On Christmas Day 2019, they released another Star Wars-themed music video, "My Stick," which is a sequel to "Seagulls! (Stop It Now)." A Halloween-themed song called "Monster Run," was uploaded on Halloween 2020, and is another spoof of BTS. In July 2022, BLR released a five-part interpretation of the musical Hamilton.[24] Re-imagined as "Axe-Assassin Albertson", the project revolves around a post-apocalyptic backstory in which an Artificial Intelligence in the year 2122 attempts to restore the missing soundtrack to Hamilton by analyzing the lips of the performers. In addition to replacing several of the production's musical numbers with original songs featuring nonsensical lyrics, many songs were transformed into spoken word dialogue scenes. Upon its release, Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda shared the video with his fans, saying "Thanks @badlipreading. You've made my life".[25] Bad Lip Reading himself tweeted that the project was begun as a way of personally coping with the Covid19 pandemic.[26] An accompanying 10-song Axe-Assassin Albertson album was released in July, featuring full-length versions of all the songs heard in the video series. One of Bad Lip Reading's works, "Dirty Spaceman", a redubbing of "Check It Out" by Will.i.am featuring Nicki Minaj, was taken down due to a claim of copyright infringement. It is unclear if Universal Music issued a formal DMCA takedown request or if YouTube's Content ID Match system detected the work and removed it automatically.[27] Also, in March 2012, the video "Beard With Glue," a bad lip reading of "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt, was taken down by Warner Music Group on a copyright claim. Unlike "Dirty Spaceman", the claim was soon released, and the video was returned. Likewise, "Gang Fight" was taken down in 2011, but returned. UMG has also taken down "(Rockin') All Nite Long", the Taylor Swift spoof that also features Wiz Khalifa. BLR's parody of "Hot Problems", "Time to Rock", was also taken down, but later returned. They also did a redubbing of "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5 called "Haiku" on October 12, 2018, but the video was taken down on the same day. Another bad lip reading of "You Need To Calm Down" by Taylor Swift, "Lushfull," was also taken down in June 2019.
