Take a couple of impossibly cute China boys with A LOT of karaoke experience. Put 'em at Duke, THE party school of the South. Give 'em broadband, a high-quality webcam, a bunch of hot mp3's... and watch out!

What you get is, first, charming, then sweet, then funny, then hilarious.

Two great faces, great body language, well-nigh perfect lip-syncing and a whole range of gestures that cut right across whole decades of pop offal, from the dread 80s up to the enlightened noughts.

The staging is done with similar skill: one innocuous Duke dorm room. In the background, add one seemingly stereotopically diligent China boy doing what China boys are supposed to do (as opposed to the craziness happening in the foreground), but even he winds up being infected by the spirit of the two creative madmen hogging the camera.

The videos have traveled all over the Internet and have, we understand, made a brief appearance on national TV.

For your viewing convenience (and hilarity), we've gathered stills from four of the videos below, with links for immediate gratification. Don't blame us if you bust a gut:

"As Long as You Love Me."

"Get Down."

"Unknown."

And the pièce de résistance:

"Just Want You to Know."
