The MTV Video Music Awards are all about fun — especially since the party has moved to Brooklyn this year — but the VMAs have a serious side. And that comes in the form of the Best Video with a Message category.
Kelly Clarkson, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Snoop Lion, Miguel and Beyoncé are all nominated in the category — Kelly for her “People Like Us” individuality anthem, M&RS for their “Same Love” gay-rights proclamation, Snoop for his “No Guns Allowed” anti-violence jam, Miguel for his social questions in “Candles In the Sun” and Bey for her empowering UN performance “I Was Here.”
But despite all the real and sincere messages going on here, fans were able to find fun in the songs. On Vine, Macklemore’s “Same Love” parodies became a meme, with people hijacking the song’s first verse and making it their own.
Come along with MTV News while we explore the silly, the awkward and the downright hilarious “Same Love” Vines.
