![Will the Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up? [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/00ol3ehcEYtP9TfY1k4Cvoy/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647020775.jpg)
What happens when you combine Mitt Romney and an Eminem classic? YouTube viral gold, apparently. This video takes carefully cut edits of Romney and others and combines them into a cover of Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady."
The video, created by Australian Hugh Atkin, was uploaded to YouTube on Monday. It's been seen more than 12,000 times and it's collected more than 2,000 "likes" as of Tuesday afternoon.
Atkin has been receiving praise for the video all night on Twitter.
@hmatkin Man it's just THAT good. Fantastic job, I'm gonna go watch it again!— Paul Mackay (@plmcky) March 20, 2012
@hmatkin You, sir, are a genius. The video, ingenious. Love it! How long did that take?— David Conrad (@daiconrad) March 20, 2012
According to Atkin's tweets, the video took about a week of "pretty full-on work."
A few years back, another video-savvy Internet user created a cover of U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" starring President George W. Bush:
We've reached out to Atkin to learn more about the making of the video. We also reached out to Mitt Romney's campaign staff, and we'll update this post with any comment.
