This New '7 Rings' Parody Video Starring A Julie Andrews Impersonator Is Now One Of Our Favorite Things

With Ariana Grande's hit single "7 Rings" officially dominating the top 100 on the Billboard chart for the fifth week in a row after debuting at number 1, the song also qualifies for the utmost form of flattery:

a parody video.


And what better to riff on the song's use of a soundbite from the Sound of Music's "My Favorite Things" than featuring a Julie Andrews-type character in said parody video? It doesn't get any more meta than a song paying homage to a traditional musical later to be parodied by the very musical.

The video features actress Julia Aks channeling her inner Maria to step into the habit to get down and dirty a la Grande.

Aks says in the introduction:
"Now whenever something bugs me and I feel unhappy, I just try and think of nice things. Daffodils! Green meadows...stacks on stacks!"

And then all hail Mary breaks loose with the same fuchsia lighting washing over the interior of a house party like in the original "7 Rings" music video.

The spoof is becoming a viral Twitter moment.



Aks is an actress and opera singer in Los Angeles who needs her own show.



An eventual comparison was drawn.


The video has so far amassed 126K likes on Twitter.

People just can't get enough.






This video is now one of my favorite things. *hits repeat button*

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
