Lipdub

A Lipdub (also LipDub or Lip dub) is a special form of a music video. The term means literally lip synchronization ( lip English dubbing ). Characteristic of a Lipdub are two things. For a performer move their lips to match the text of the song, as if she would sing the text itself (see Playback ) - hence the name.
