grand rapids lip dub

We've all seen it...The Grand Rapids LipDub video. It's been 11 years since it was produced by Rob Bliss. Do you know the story behind the LipDub?

The mayor of an Austrian city credits Grand Rapids for inspiring his city's lip-dub video. The Austrian video is 14 minutes long, which is a new world record. More than 6,000 people danced for 10 hours to make it happen.

Thousands participated in the "American Pie"  lip dub video on Sunday. Local celebs WOOD-TV 8's meteorologist Bill Steffen, Mayor George Heartwell, philanthropist Peter Secchia,  and Fox 17's Emily Richett got in on the act. Organizer Rob Bliss has released a trailer.
