Here are some real people dressing up like The Beets and singing to their songs “I Need Mo’ [...]

I most likely didn’t post this here before, as it doesn’t turn up in a search. But I discovered this goofy act of plagiarism a long time ago:

I know it is unusual to pick out a single music video in the modern HD world, but I was just way too impressed by the HD quality on Evanescence’s “Good Enough” video as uploaded by AmyLeeRocks4EverHD:
