Steve Kardynal doesn’t post videos very often, but when he does, he makes sure they are worth the wait. The YouTube creator’s latest offering, his first since August, returns him to the world of Chatroulette, where he performs a shameless cover version of Miley Cyrus’ ‘Wrecking Ball’.
The ‘Wrecking Ball’ video is a follow-up to the ‘Call Me Maybe’ lip sync Kardynal released to YouTube 13 months ago. This time, he has copied Cyrus’ revealing outfits (which can sometimes be described as ‘nothing at all’) and her frequent gyrations, showing off the result to a gallery of stunned Chatroulette users. Some people even join him in belting out the lyrics, because they are very good sports.
While we’ve plenty of ‘Wrecking Ball’-related videos go viral on YouTube since the song’s explosive debut two months ago, Kardynal’s version shows a master at work. Check it out, and pray for more ridiculous music videos so that his next YouTube hibernation might not be nearly as long.
