Deciphering “Alec Goes Viral”

Alec Couros, one fantastic educational technologist, who recently also got his tenure at University of Regina, finally went viral officially on YouTube with his medley “Alec Goes Viral“.

Curious as I am, I watched it, but could only decipher two of the videos / songs that he imitated.

The first one was really easy as it was “Numa Numa“, a YouTube classic.

The second segment in his short video is a musical drive-thru order. The one original that I know best is RhettandLink’s “Fast Food Folk Song“. They have been doing some pretty funny songs including commercials for local businesses.

The third video in Alec’s medley is still a mystery to me. Any hints?

    1. Actually, Alec just tweeted me the real videos. As it turns out, I only got the “Numa Numa” right. ;-)

      The drive-thru video source was the “bigmac drive thru rap” and the third one was a song sung by Eduard Khil (more on the video in the Internet Meme section) that was posted as “Trololo“.
