When Adele met Salman Khan: Five hilarious Hello spoofs
Adele's melancholy tinged song Hello, inexplicably involving a flip phone and of course a phone call, has become the second-fastest video of all time to notch a hundred million views, second only to Psy's track Gentlemen, his follow up to the internet-shattering Gangnam Style.
As the internet adage ought to go though, with immense popularity comes inevitable spoofs. Ellen Degeneres was among the first to get to it, with the American talk show host finding it a bit hard to carry on a phone conversation with Adele. Lionel Richie, the original Hello singer, was unable to stay away from the game either, recording his hilarious take a day after Adele's song came out.
