Creativity

When Soulja Boy released his song Crank That, it rapidly climbed the charts until it took the spot for the number one song. People then started to create videos of the song by piecing together words that cartoon characters would say in order for it to sound like the Crank That lyrics. Now Crank That is not a very kid friendly song, its actually intended for a more mature audience. The article stated that Disney and Nickelodeon did not press any charged for using their characters in these videos. They actually commended them for their creativity. For them to go through countless episodes to wait for certain words to pop up in order to put it all together to create a tiny snippet of the song. If thats not creativity i dont know what is. Now a days there are a ton of these parodies on the internet. Some of them are explicit but for the most part they are fun and very creative. Its humorous to see these cartoons come to life in a whole new aspect.
