Indeed, Cantor’s visual epic is a glorious mash-up of low culture and high culture. Children’s Choir, the buzzing strings of the Argus Quartet and more. None of these actions play out in a conventional linear manner but by way of interpretive dance, glorious vocals performed by members of the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles and the West L.A.
A bear trap is involved, and there’s a horror-movie style “Shia surprise.” In Cantor’s orchestral fantasy, LaBeouf “gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint,” eventually driving the protagonist to a cottage for a vicious final battle. “'Shia LaBeouf' Live,” on the other hand, is timeless - a three minute, 27 second masterpiece that can only happen when an artist takes a gag 10 steps too far, only to discover that too far is precisely what the joke demands. Or rather, remember “ain’t nobody got time for that”? Even popular memes have a brief shelf life, remixed and shared wildly for a time but quickly replaced and forgotten. Think of Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins and “ain’t nobody got time for that.” Most capitalize on simple lunacy or grant brief, accidental fame to an otherwise anonymous person. Memes, by their very nature, are ephemeral treats. There's something about saying with a whispered intensity that just feels funny.” And meme-worthy. It's very musical and the consonants are unusual,” Cantor told Salon in a recent interview.
#Shia labeouf applause series
Around 2011, singer and songwriter Rob Cantor was heaving a massive couch with the assistance of another friend when something magical happened: “He just randomly decided to whisper ‘Shia LaBeouf,’ and it made us both laugh.”įrom there, Cantor and his friend spun a series of fantasies about the actor, culminating in “the notion of Shia chasing you through the woods, hungry for your flesh.” This is how Shia LaBeouf transformed from Shia LaBeouf, “Transformers” franchise star, into “Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf,” tireless killing machine, by way of a song Cantor released in 2012.Īnd Cantor's song eventually inspired what may be world’s most ostentatious yet durable viral video: “'Shia LaBeouf' Live,” uploaded five years ago as of Monday. It began, as few legendary works of art do, by helping someone move.
