This Signmark video was the first on my YouTube subscription page, and since I know there are folk in my circles who are interested in signed languages, as well as music, I thought I'd share... Besides, half the fun of having an earworm is infecting your kith and kin, right?
"Signmark" is the stage name of Finnish rapper Marko Vuoriheimo, who composes and performs in both ASL/English and suomalainen viittomakieli/Finnish.
Here are links to related videos:
A 13-minute documentary explaining his motivation and how he composes the songs (including the phonetic principles of sign, and how signed rhyming works).
Videos featured in the documentary:
Against the Wall
Kahleet/Shackles (in Finnish w/English Subtitles)
Smells like Victory (I love this last one, because although the lyrics are typical boasting of the Rap genre, the visuals make it clear that "Victory," in this case, means "Peace breaks out around the world."
