Penguin State Of Mind

So... Penguin Group USA decided to make its own version of the ubiquitous Jay-Z/Alicia Keys song of five minutes ago, and they really committed to this on a Bank of America/ "One" level:

Not to be outdone, Random House has scheduled a mandatory lipdub for all its offices tomorrow.

**Update 4/7: It appears Penguin has pulled this video from its YouTube channel. Is someone getting fired?? I mean, it was funny-bad, not damaging-bad. Anyway, here's what I remember from it:

- Nerdy white guy with dollar-sign glasses standing on the TKTS Steps in Times Square (call-back to the original video)
- Same guy later receiving a bro-hug from a full-grown man in a Winnie the Pooh costume
- A dance team wearing all black doing moves over a conference-room table -- and they were perfectly adequate, but it was a little bizarre
- Women leaning over tiny pianos pretending to play
- The hook of the song doesn't really sound that good without an Alicia Keys-level vocal talent. No offense.
- A lot of random groups of people standing in front of black backgrounds
- Possibly a Charlaine Harris cameo, although I'm not positive it was her. She was standing in front of a group shouting "Sookie Stackhouse!" Thanks to a commenter, have confirmed it was Charlaine Harris' editor, not Harris herself. Dang. Oh well.
- And the best part!!! A memorial card at the end to Robert B. Parker and Dick Francis, who are likely spinning in their graves right now.
