It is the largest and longest LipDub video, to date. This video was created as an official response to the Newsweek article calling Grand Rapids a "dying city." We disagreed strongly, and wanted to create a video that encompasses the passion and energy we all feel is growing exponentially, in this great city. We felt Don McLean's American Pie, a song about death, was in the end, triumphant and filled to the brim with life and hope." - Rob Bliss, Director & Executive Producer Update After the video was released Newsweek recants their story in a Facebook post.

Shame that most of Youtube viewers are too young to appreciate it and are probably scratching their heads wondering why they didn't use a Lady Gaga song. |
