Father-Daughter Duo's Hilarious Lip Sync to Aretha Franklin Classic

A father and daughter duo have released a hilarious clip of themselves lip-syncing to an Aretha Franklin classic.

The late Aretha Franklin was a one-of-a-kind musician. She had an incredibly successful career that spanned decades. She produced some of the most beloved and revered songs of all time. Her tunes, despite being released decades ago, remain in heavy rotation.

However as great and catchy as Aretha's tunes were, they were successful for one main reason: her unmistakable voice. Her voice was in a category of its own. She was able to reach, hit and hold notes that most performers aren't able to do. Because of her voice, you can easily spot an Aretha song. No one sounded like her.

Because of Aretha's big, world-class and highly recognizable voice, covering one of her tunes is difficult. Any musician who tries to sing one of her songs only sets themselves up for failure. We all know what Aretha sounded like and will immediately judge the cover up against the original, and the cover will never win that competition. The original is usually the best, and that is especially true when it’s an Aretha Franklin song. 

That is why it's usually a safer bet to lip sync and not actually sing an Aretha Franklin song. That is precisely what the father-daughter duo Ben and Zara did in one of their latest hilarious videos. They devised a hysterical lip-sync clip for Aretha's "Think."

The short video begins with the funny father-daughter duo sitting in what appears to be a car, with the little girl in the back seat and Dad in the driver's seat while wearing sunglasses. As the music begins, they quickly pull off the sunglasses with authority and tons of attitude.

Then, they both play to the camera, using exaggerated hand gestures and facial expressions as they mouth the song's memorable lyrics. Like the rest of their popular clips, this short clip has plenty of laughs!

Ephesians 5:19 "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;"
