Since Adele came back to the spotlight with a hit single in "Hello," a slew of parodies of the song slowly piled up on video sharing sites. One of the rather irresistible and watch-worthy ones is that which turned the British singer's nostalgia-induced ditty into an ode to junk food.
"'Hella Cravings' is a hilarious take on the love/hate relationship people have with food and exercise," KFOR.com noted. "The lyrics perfectly sum up the struggle of a person who very much enjoys eating but also strives to be healthy."
Here's a sample of the revised lyrics: "And, I feel so / Hangry / Breakfast, dinner and lunch / And, the ice cream truck is / The only reason I run / Anymore."
Meanwhile, The Huffington Post pointed out that the following is the standout line: "Hella pizza late at night, I keep saying just one more slice, and I feel so hangry -- breakfast, dinner and lunch -- and the ice cream truck is the only reason I run anymore."
The parody was created by husband-and-wife duo Dustin and Genevieve Ahkuoi and has since gone on to become a viral wonder since it was uploaded on YouTube Monday. Dustin was "floored and humbled" by the phenomenon, as it had earned their clip at least 20 million views already.
"We've received messages from people all across the world which is beautiful," a Facebook status he recently posted read. "We have a lot of new fans and YouTube followers as well."
"Thank you so much to all of you who have viewed, shared and commented on this and past videos. We have more to come in the very near future. We both love making you laugh...thank you for your encouragement and support." he added.
This is not the first time the pair did a parody video. Dustin did one for Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" last year, changing the title to "Church Signs."
"The parody couldn't come at a more perfect time since everyone is trying their best to beat the holiday bulge," SFGate pointed out.
In the clip, the pair can be seen doing a variety of things separately, albeit to humorous effect.
"In a hilarious scene, Genevieve stares into the camera with a mouth full of grass declaring to be anti-leafy greens," the publication observed. "And in another, Dustin points out his lack of a thigh gap as he sits on a yoga mat."
