University of Groningen Lipdub: Mr Blue Sky

[@denizselcuk3419]

After I watched this video in high school, I was amazed how this many people can make such an original work together and adored University of Groningen's students and staff.. I ended up applying to university and I was admitted, though I had to withdraw it due to financial reasons. Now here I am as an exchange student at this university, -better than nothing, and I am proud of RUG! July 2020 update: Graduated from the University of Groningen, I will always love my university and feel lucky that I got to study there.

[@denizselcuk3419]

Update 8 months later: After my erasmus exchange semester ended, I made a decision. I left my university in my home country from third year. Re-applied RUG. They gave me a second chance and I went back to Groningen. Still feels like I am in a dream sometimes :)

[@hotman2237]

Deniz S. Love this, happy for you!

[@Sannaatje]

Went back to see this video (I was there the day they recorded it) and just saw your comment. As a proud RUG alumna and staff member your updates were a joy to read. I hope you will get your degree ceremony despite all the Covid measures - you deserve it!

[@denizselcuk3419]

@@Sannaatje unfortunately there couldn’t be a physical one but we had a lovely ceremony via Zoom 😊

Merhaba deniz ben de senin gibi türkiyeden olan yıllar önce olduğun gibi şu an türkiyede olan lisansta Groningenda okumak isteyen bir lise öğrencisiyim orası gerçekten burda göründüğü gibi bir yer mi yoksa bunlar prdan mı ibaret

[@The_man_himself_67]

This has to be the BEST LIP SYNC EVER! Didn't get anywhere near the views it deserved. I still watch it from time to time. Great job guys and girls.

[@kylaboyse9356]

I saw this video when it came out, and for some reason it popped into my head tonight, so I came to watch again. So much joy! We lived in Groningen 1991-1993 for my husband's pos-doc. We love NL and Groningen and Dutch people, and made some very good friends.

[@universityGroningen]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@mikeanthony9533]

Kyla! Hello from Akkeneel and Mike and Anna and Sanne and Thomas

[@ellentronicmistress4969]

Such positivity. I hope you are all leading wonderful lives. Love from the UK.

[@universityGroningen]

Thank you! You too!

[@RT-hh3vl]

amazing!!! Take a bow the University of Groningen!! 😳

[@guitarmaster127]

It's pretty amazing that they did this in just one whole video and they didn't just put together a bunch of scenes...

[@italkscomputershow]

Love it. I remember seeing this video as a young lad. Inspiration

[@33chone33]

This video is underrated for sure. Going to see ELO in June. This is my favorite song

[@FoxyLad]

How did it go 🤔

[@koonings1]

SUPER, echt grote klasse en eindelijk wat super leuke humor in Nederland!!! Klasse en nog eens klasse met ook de complimenten aan Jeff Lynne en zijn Mr. Blue Sky.

[@IbteeDApunisher]

I don't care if it's a promo for a university. It was really well put together and delivered a feel-good moment about everything around me.

[@drjonxx]

This just made my day! What a fun, lively, and dynamic act set to one of my all time favorite songs. Bravo.

[@arjsr]

Walk down memory lane. Iedere 3 maanden ff 1x kijken, voor de komende 20 jaar.

[@Goedendag28]

I spent most of my childhood living in the Netherlands, it's been 10 years since I left, God, do I miss it there.....

[@DrKilgoreMan]

Everyone looks like they're having such a good time. I especially like the part in Dutch. Fantastic job!

[@tobiashollander1386]

That part in Dutch is actually a “Gronings” accent. Very nice

[@mmrdhoy]

just watched Guardian of The Galaxy vol.2 and suddenly missed my time in Groningen.. time flies!

[@zoohed]

Beautiful . The whole world should join in.

[@jasterful]

Geweldig leuk!! Niks mis mee. Pé, Rinus en Clan gefelicitaart!!

[@RReinvent]

This is, by a long shot, the BEST University promo film I have ever seen! (and that's something to say for a Leiden alumna ;-) ) - everyone should register at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen!

[@ArthurRuno]

Omg, I cant belive its all one take. Amazing! Just unbeliveble

[@NiceJungLady]

Magnificent. There was room for everyone -- every age, size and specialty. That variety made it a dazzling show. Encore!

[@TheCarablanco]

I realize this years late, but. . . this is GREAT!!

[@kierannorth3965]

This stuff is legend. Sorry for being about eight years too late but if you want to cheer up your day. Thanks. Hugs from UK

[@Sannaatje]

@savetrainingcomau The redhaired guy works at the University Library. Together they achieved huge regional fandom during the 80s and 90s with comical covers in Dutch and the local dialect, and some original songs as well. Great fun, lots of running gags like the red SPAR T-shirt and every Groningen person with some self-respect knows at least 2 or 3 of their songs by heart. They still perform, mostly at special occasions like this.

[@albert25OK]

Kippevel of Kippenvel, dondert mij niets, ik heb het wel van deze fantastische Lipdub !!

[@loveyatex]

It's impossible to watch this video and not get caught up in the spirit of it. I'm still smiling!

[@joop89]

Haha hij is leuk geworden, super dat Pe & Rinus mee hebben gewerkt! En wat een hilarische drummer op het einde ;)

[@morningcoffee1974]

Al meer dan tien jaar weg uit Groningen, maar deze video laat me terug verlangen! Heimwee!!! (En trots!) Heb jaren in de UB gezeten, met véél plezier! Deze video laat wel zien dat de UB ook echt het hart is van studerend Groningen. :-) De hele sfeer van het studeren rondom 'd Olle Grieze is perfect weergegeven. Mooi ja! Ook erg goed dat jullie Rooie Rinus en Pé Daalemmer hebben weten te strikken! Alles bij elkaar is het vast een hele tour geweest om dit voor elkaar te krijgen.

[@ChrisFP2]

That was one of the oddest and greatest things I've seen in a while.

[@OceaneNailArt]

today you make me happy.thank for the 7 minutes of hapiness.you make me fell good.

[@guitardudebanjoman]

The guy with the ironing board wins.

[@bertk1]

Geweldig, ik kijk hem erg vaak en zie steeds weer iets nieuws

[@ticoandres77]

This is going straight to my wall in facebook! Definitely I have to share it!.. It's just great! GRONINGEN ROCK'S!! Moooooi joooo!!!

[@Delilah_Anne]

I speak Dutch, and I couldn’t understand half of what was said in my own language lol Love the groning’s accent, it’s awesome

[@PT9KK]

Dames and Heren, this amazing video is the perfect combination of criativity and low cost. Congrats to all of you for a job well done!

[@The_man_himself_67]

[@timzwaagstra]

@MrBallinBC That's the local anthem - Grunnens Laid, or Groningen's Song :)

[@SonicUnderground316]

LOL I discover this song thank to a local show call "Clip dub" that present this exact video and when listening to the real song, I was really disapointed that there were no german part in it XD !

[@HBSVDK]

Machtig mooi!

[@amiserable]

strangely,....very cool. And I don't even know why. really liked it. I guess I have to ask, however : Why? Why did they do it?

[@marssiiej1]

Onze lipdub is sinds gister 3000 keer bekeken,hopelijk gaan we achter de Groninger Universiteit aan Check CAH vilentum lipdub!

[@Theedzausch]

I love it! So dang random. I mean who conceptualized this and then got everyone on board to lip dub a not so popular, but very good ELO song that most of the people in the video probably haven't even heard of? Who? Why?

[@jakoscheeringa]

Geniaal!
