What surprising video has the internet going mad?

When you think of the most trending topics in the world at this time point of time, what do you think of? A celebrity gone mad? A big sports event? An ongoing war? A political corruption scandal? Kittens playing the keyboard? You would be forgiven for thinking anything along these lines, but no, none these topics are creating such a stir within the world of social media as Instagram and Vine comedian Nicholas Fraser’s (@Downgoes.Fraser) short 15 second parody video/song which became known as “Why you always lying?” The song spread so fast across the globe that soon there were many different variations of the original video from different countries which has seen the lyrics translate in to a numerous languages including Spanish, Hindi, Korean and Romanian translations, to name a few.

So what is this viral sensation that has the likes of Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa, P Diddy and the rest of the world posting and talking about? Well it’s the work of talented funny man Nicholas Fraser or his online alias @Downgoes.Fraser. Where accompanied with the backing track of late 90’s and early 00’s R&B band Next’s “Too close” add to that some simple but rather adult lyrics and some pretty ludicrous dance moves. Fraser hilariously describes what mostly all of us feel to say when we get that one person who non-stop lies about everything in their lives and for no reason at all just lies for the sake of lying. We all know these type of people and now we have a perfect way to respond to them to finally shut them up.

The viral video has received very positive comments with Next’s lead singer RL praising the parody with maybe even talks for a collaboration between the two. Fraser has recently released a full song to go with the short clip so it remains to be seen just how long we will see this video around. Whatever happens, it has catapulted this young comedian into the online conscience.

Have a look at the video below for yourself, what do you think?
