For several weeks, country music fans have been watching and forwarding the hysterical YouTube video of 4-year-old Drake lip syncing Randy Houser's new hit single "Boots On," (currently in the Top 25 and is the fastest climbing single in the Top 25 by a new artist ). Drake's nanny captured the young performer on video when he was in his car seat in the back of her vehicle. The toddler lip syncs and plays an incredible guitar....well, a plastic guitar. The video was seen by Universal Records South execs and like everyone else, they were amazed by Drake's unique interpretation complete with facial expressions and lots of foot tapping.
When it came time recently to shoot a music video for "Boots On" everyone agreed, including Houser, that Drake had to be a part of it. “When we saw the video, we knew we had to do something with it,” states Fletcher Foster, URS Senior VP/GM. “We had to incorporate Drake’s video somehow.” So Foster and video director Eric Welch came up with the idea to shoot Houser as if he is in the front seat of the car watching Drake in the back seat. Footage from the nanny's video was cut into the footage shot of Houser to make a complete video.
