# Comedic Car-Made Covers Mamrie and DJ Flula Take on Dolly Parton and Britney Spears in Auto Tunes By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-10-04 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dj-flula References: [youtu.be](http://youtu.be/NUtck2LWE08) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/user/mametown) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Comedic Music Covers:** Opportunity for creating comedic music covers in unconventional settings, such as in cars, to entertain audiences. - **Auto Tunes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for creating a series of car-recorded musical covers to attract a new audience. - **Comedy and Nostalgia:** Trend of combining comedy and nostalgia in music videos, appealing to viewers' sense of humor and fondness for previous eras. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for entertainment industry to create and promote comedic musical content in unique and relatable formats. - **Social Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for social media platforms to feature and promote car-recorded music covers as a new and engaging form of content. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion industry to capitalize on nostalgia by producing and marketing 1980s-inspired apparel and accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rewritten Christmas Song Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hijacking-christmas.md) - [Musical Milk Substitute Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silk-ad.md) - [African American-Inspired Auto Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/What-in-the-Frunk.md) - [Hands-Free Car Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-deaf-association.md) - [Hands-Free Driving Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passenger-princess.md) - [Country Star-Collab Glamorous Denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joleans.md) - [Pancake House Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/working-for-the-weekend.md) - [Amusing Work Platform Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monday-platform.md) - [Branded EV Karaoke Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-caraokemic.md)
