“Box In A Box” Singer Unboxed!
Step one: Watch "Dick in a Box."
Step two: Fall in love with the box.
Step three: Spoof it "Box in a Box."
And that's the way you do it. And how. Shown above, "Box in a Box," the music video that reimagines Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg's famous SNL sketch from the ladies' perspective, is two minutes of coy genius. Sample lyrics:
Bush is ruining our country
But my bush has never lied
Taco Bell might make you sick
But my taco's certified
"Box in a Box" has been viewed millions of times, featured on Countdown With Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, and given radio airplay coast to coast. But no one knows who's been behind it -- the bewitching performer goes only by "Bunny" on the official B.I.A.B. blog. In our first investigative journalism triumph of the semester (read: somebody emailed it to us), we can now reveal that Box in a Box is Melissa Lamb, a sophomore at Penn, pictured at right. Although Ms. Box-Lamb may be enjoying her Internet fame a little too much, veering into jump-the-box territory with the official "My Box in a Box Box," for sale at CafePress.com for $15.99, we remain completely enamored of her. Anyone who can pull off the eyes-closed, super-concentrating, diva-tested hand motions while singing "It's a beaaaaaaverrrrrrrrrr" is a keeper in our book.

Oh snap, this is great! I’m not even ashamed!

that doesn’t seem to be the full video that you’ve posted–the full thing is actually far funnier :)

it’s so catchy – i saw it on perez hilton and have had it in my head for the last few days.

Melissa,
You can’t put a vagina in a box in the position you show it.
The present is just dangling on your belt.
You lie.
Sincerely,

I think the penn hat may have helped give it away…

Big fucking whoop. The song sucks. Her blog shows she’s extremely self-regarding. It’s only funny insofar as she plagiarized from Samberg. She’s the Kaavya of genitalia in boxes.
She gets nothing. NOTHING!

It’s not Melissa Lamb. That’s her sister. it’s a girl called Bunny.
January 11th, 2007 at 8:49 am
hmm…you a dumbass is a Phillies hat although that still may have given it away, sorry.

I love how people think she’s so enamored of herself on her website, instead of recognizing that she’s staying in character and continuing the parody of self-absorbed pop-stars. I’ll bet a lot of these people vote.

I looked the girl up on myspace (to see for myself for certain that she was a Penn girl). She is Melissa Lamb, the photo on the fake US weekly cover on her blog where she denies being Melissa is identical to the one on the myspace page. Whose real name is bunny anyway??
January 12th, 2007 at 11:42 am
eh… i figure people have done way LESS to get “internet fame” she might as well laugh it up and try and get PAID before she slips back into obscurity. Or someone spoofs HER spoof and makes her a laughing stock. More so than already.
January 12th, 2007 at 12:48 pm
She definitely goes to Penn and she’s rushing our sorority now.. hilarious

This girl didn’t even sing the song! Leah Kauffman, a Temple University Junior actually sang the song on the video. If you want to hear more of her stuff it’s on her myspace: Myspace.com/leahkauffman. Complete with flat notes and all. heh.

Different song, different words, different scenes, different tune, different “junk” = S A T I R E, not PLAGIARISM. She, the singer, and the songwriter each show the same self-confidence as comedians from SNL. Those women and men make fools of themselves, and everyone’s like “it’s OK”. Do some of the people writing the posts I’ve read STILL NOT GET IT? Maybe they take American Idol too seriously. I read in the paper recently a study that suggests most young people would rather be famous than accomplish something. So sad.
January 12th, 2007 at 5:51 pm
I just this fucking song. It’s the worst.
January 12th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
But can she find a box big enough to hold that chin?
January 13th, 2007 at 11:52 am
that box could hold my chin!
January 13th, 2007 at 1:59 pm
I just dont get why all this mediocrity got so much attention…
January 13th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
Which sorority?

Her *chin*..? What’s wrong with it? It’s normal size. >
January 15th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
She’s a fox. In French she would be called “la renarde” and she would be hunted with only her cunning to protect her.

Thank you for clause, very cognitively. I hope, such clauses will be more.

Box-in-a-box girl,
your song and video are nothing short of brilliant. the people on here with negative commentary are jealous morons… As they lack the creativity and genius to create something this hysterical.
CONGRATS & Good Luck.
Please cont. to entertain us.

I loved that MSNBC said “no offence, Melissa, but it’s [Leah's] singing that realy sells it.”
She’s wonderful for her satire, her lyrics, and her promotion…but it’s Melissa that sells this song!
I wish she had’t done any interviews, because it’s like Mike Tyson doing interviews. You woulda been the champ.
But yikes.
The voice don’t match our wet dreams.
And you caused some, Melissa. The combination of your naivete and sexuality makes this video irresisible. Way better than D.I.A.B.
Wish I was still in college.

Good clause. Many thanks to the author.
