'''Shia Labeouf''' is a song by [[Rob Cantor]] which went viral in late April 2012, particularly on Tumblr, inspiring countless amounts of people to create images, videos, and written anecdotes all based around the lyrics of the song. The term "Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf" (a lyric of the song) had become an internet meme. | '''Shia Labeouf''' is a song by [[Rob Cantor]] which went viral in late April 2012, particularly on Tumblr, inspiring countless amounts of people to create images, videos, and written anecdotes all based around the lyrics of the song.

But it didn't happen and the song sat on his hard drive for a year until Rob created his online portfolio and SoundCloud profile<ref>http://www.robcantor.com robcantor.com</ref><ref>http://soundcloud.com/rob-cantor/ Rob Cantor's Soundcloud</ref>, where it was inevitably found by a fan of [[Tally Hall]], posted by [[HITS]] for everyone else to hear, and the rest is history. | ||
So, why Shia Labeouf of all people? In the interview, Rob says “It was more that his name, when whispered really intensely, just made me giggle.” | So, why Shia Labeouf of all people? In the interview, Rob says “It was more that his name, when whispered really intensely, just made me giggle.” | ||

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.
