On October 21st 2014, Rob Cantor released a music video for a new, extended version of the song called '''Shia LaBeouf Live'''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0u4M6vppCI Shia LaBeouf Live (YouTube)]</ref>, complete with an orchestral arrangement in honor of the meme's popularity each Halloween season. The video depicts a "live" stage performance of the song featuring a men's chorus, children's choir, string quartet, and interpretive dancers; some of whom adorn a giant Shia LaBeouf head. The video ends with a single audience member clapping alone in the dark auditorium. As the camera pans, we see it is Shia himself dressed in a tuxedo and mimicking the popular Citizen Kane clap. | On October 21st 2014, Rob Cantor released a music video for a new, extended version of the song called '''Shia LaBeouf Live'''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0u4M6vppCI Shia LaBeouf Live (YouTube)]</ref>, complete with an orchestral arrangement in honor of the meme's popularity each Halloween season.
