“The Office” Lip Dub “Nobody But Me” VIDEO

On Wednesday, NBC unveiled the ‘cold opening” for this week’s seventh season premiere of The Office, a lip dub to a 1968 rock classic.

In this clip, the colorful gang at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company are lip-syncing for the camera in hopes of inspiring a viral hit. The video references the popular internet tradition that has evolved into “Lip Dubbing,” where a performer or group lip-syncs along to a song. The employees band together to lip dub The Human Beinz’s “Nobody But Me.”

This isn’t the first time the writers of The Office played off a viral video hit. The cast spoofed the popular “JK Wedding” video when Jim and Pam tied the knot at the start of Season 6, with the entire cast dancing down the aisles to Chris Brown’s pre-”Domestic Disturbia” hit “Forever.”

The Office returns Thursday, Sept. 23 on NBC.
