Greatest Lip Synced Performance Of All Time?

Canned Heat-Going Up The Country

 

MC5 "Looking At You"

 

This was definitely a classic!

P.I.L. - Poptones

 

More Raiders tomfoolery, this time 'playing' toy instruments...

 

The Stranglers swap instruments to comic effect:

 

Bobby Conn all the way, every day.

 

Dolly Parton: 'I was not miming at Glastonbury'

 

Hmmm....we saw different. The wonders of tv close-ups.....

 

Wow, I didn't know there was another take (and more outrageous version) of 'No More Heroes'!

I was only familiar with this broadcast version.


It looks like the broadcast version was Take 1? Subsequently, the production staff dissatisfied with their performance, asked them to do a Take 2, which was the version in your video?

 

this is one of my favorite Lip Sync footage of The Turtles

 

Wasn’t aware there was video of this. Or was this a joke?

 

Well known Artists that have NEVER lip-synched.... ???

 

If you include film appearances and "videos" they may be non-existent

Even excluding those there won't be many. A similar question was asked in another thread. I posted that Dick Clark said Jerry Lee was the only artist who refused to lip sync on one of his shows. Then somebody posted some clips from Clark's Beechnut Show with live vocals (IIRC one was Fats Domino).

 

The Supremes in Paris, 1965

 

Yeah, I wouldn't include promotional music videos, but any recordings of where they were performing live before an audience would count.

 

Yep. I watch this at least once a month.

 

Jimmy Ray Paulman on guitar, Will Jones on piano.

 

My all-time lip-syncer! (Bit of a spoiler if you haven't seen this great movie.)

 

Yes, I was just kidding!!

 

I thought so. From all reports he just stood there.

 

It has to be this performance of Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll by Jethro Tull. Ian somehow manages to drink beer and sing at the same time! Amazing.

 

Note "drummer" Chris Ethridge and "bassist" Michael Clarke



The greatest, or at least funniest, example of this I've ever seen was The McCoys doing Ritchie Valens' "Come On Let's Go" on a local Detroit dance party show.

Alas, that clip has been removed from YouTube...

 

I still get mixed up over "I Can Dream About You". I've lost track of who's lip synching who whenever I see random official videos.
