In a hilarious video YouTubers Mamrie Hart and DJ Flula do a cover of Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. Part of a segment called Auto Tunes on Flula's channel, the song is recorded entirely in his car.
Dressed in typical 1980s garb, the comedic pair act out a carpool-like skit before beginning the musical number. This involves recording a loop track incorporating sounds like beat boxing, typewriter keys clacking and trombone notes. Mamrie, of You Deserve a Drink and Mametown, belts the country lyrics -- southern twang and all. After the 9 to 5 cover ends in two minutes, DJ Flula and Mamrie discuss work ethic and flawlessly transition into a cover of Britney Spears' Work B**ch. Flula awkwardly gets fired at the end.
