This week's pick is a fantastically edited, very clever parody of the Miley Cyrus hit 'Party in the USA'. Produced by a group of young guys called 'Minnesoda 2-6', this video uses a clever combination of shot variation, superimposition and a cast of folks that are clearly having a blast at their day jobs. They use just enough of the song to get their message across, which is a nice change from parody videos that lose interest near the end due to repetition. A great tip here video makers: you don't need to use the entire song to make a fantastic parody. Here's the proof!
Enjoy this week's Monday Music Video!
