Kanye West's 'Famous' Video Recreated By Instagram-Famous Dogs

By Hayden Wright

(RADIO.COM) – Kanye West's video for "Famous" was one of the year's most powerful lightning rods: It drew praise, criticism, and more thinkpieces than you can shake a stick at.

The clip (which depicted nude waxworks of Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Donald Trump and more) also invited its share of parody. Justin Bieber and Ikea spoofed it, and now we have an all-dog lineup to close out the year. Some of Instagram's most "Famous" pooches came together for Bono's AIDS charity (RED) and the results are adorable.

The dogs are all covered in tiny red and white sweaters, protecting their modesty. What transpires is a nearly shot-by-shot remake of West's original video, complete with roaming camera, choppy editing and lingering closeups. The dogs' pajamas are available for purchase through the (RED) website, so the spoof doubles as a charity drive for an excellent cause.
