INTERNET MEME: Not About Love

The video starts with shots of Grammy-winning pop star Fiona Apple lounging in bed and sitting around her apartment with low-key piano notes playing in the background. Just as she opens her mouth with the vocals expected to begin ... her face is screened by none other than the grizzly, hulking Zach Galifianakis who proceeds with his typical hilarious shenanigans as he lip synchs to Fiona Apple's song "Not About Love" by reading the lyrics off a song-sheet while Apple lays alongside him in bed. These awkward and poorly-lit shots are interrupted by interludes of Galifianakis' goofy dancing and prancing in alternative-rocker mimicry. Indeed, just about everything this guy does is funny he could probably make a recitation of "Mein Kampf" sound comical. I would now like to take a moment after such masturbatory praise (no homo) to promote the rumored "Hangover" sequel. And, of course, Fiona Apple's upcoming comedy-musical collaboration with Margaret Cho (as if anyone cares).
