In an interview with The Washington Post<ref name="washingtonpost">[http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/celebritology/post/the-shia-labeouf-cannibal-song-the-story-behind-the-viral-track/2012/05/02/gIQAfbxVxT_blog.html] Interview with The Washington Post</ref>, Rob says it was originally written in the hopes that [http://www.funnyordie.com Funny or Die] would want to use the song in a video featuring the actual LaBeouf. But it didn't happen and the song sat on his hard drive for a year until Rob created his online portfolio [http://www.robcantor.com www.robcantor.com] and [http://soundcloud.com/rob-cantor/ SoundCloud profile], where it was inevitably found by a fan of [[Tally Hall]], posted by [[HITS]] for everyone else to hear, and the rest is history. | In an interview with The Washington Post<ref name="washingtonpost">[http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/celebritology/post/the-shia-labeouf-cannibal-song-the-story-behind-the-viral-track/2012/05/02/gIQAfbxVxT_blog.html] Interview with The Washington Post</ref>, Rob says it was originally written in the hopes that [http://www.funnyordie.com Funny or Die] would want to use the song in a video featuring the actual LaBeouf.

On October 21st 2014, Rob Cantor released a music video for a new, extended version of the song, called "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0u4M6vppCI Shia LaBeouf Live ▶]", 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 "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0u4M6vppCI Shia LaBeouf Live ▶]", complete with an orchestral arrangement in honor of the meme’s popularity each Halloween season.
