Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” just got a new mashup, and this time it isn’t with the screaming goat. It’s been redone with clips from Phineas and Ferb .
For a while it seemed that no popular music video was immune to getting a screaming goat or a lamb saying “yeah” thrown in for some laughs. It happened to Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Adele, Whitney Houston and a plethora of other pop artists. The most popular of them was the one where the goat screamed throughout Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble.” It was hilarious simply because Taylor Swift was becoming sort of a walking punchline due to her dating history, and the goat only made it funnier.
In the new mashup, clips from Phineas and Ferb were edited together to make it look like Dr. Doof is singing Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” to Perry the Platypus. The video is set to premier at 8pm Eastern on the “Gravity Falls” episode, and can also be seen on People.com .
Phineas and Ferb is a popular cartoon about the titular boys who are always out to start some grand new project, much like Warner Bros.’ Pinky and The Brain . The boys’ misadventures constantly annoy their overcontrolling sister Candace, who tries to tell their parents about their ensuing shenanigans. Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher always seem to get in trouble, with running gags throughout.
The B-plot of Phineas and Ferb is where the clips used in the Taylor Swift music video come from. Perry the Platypus is Agent P , a spy complete with the fedora and a grizzled look on his face. In a clear parody on James Bond , Perry the Platypus is always trying to stop the evil machinations of Dr. Doof, or Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, as he works ever diligently for the OWCA (Organization Without a Cool Acronym).
Clips from this particular portion of the show are cut together and timed to the tune of “I Knew You Were Trouble” by Taylor Swift.
Are you excited to see the Phineas and Ferb mashup of Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” tonight on the Disney Channel?
