Ironic part of this Video, I bet people who can read sign language have a greater understanding of what the heck he is saying then the people who can just hear him singing......

YouTube - Break Ya Neck! - Sign Language

Thanks, Kyllie. That guy is an interpreter named Michael DiMartino, and he has several videos out on YouTube and elsewhere. I can't watching that one past the nodding head part because the fast editing and jiggly camera work makes me pukey.

I was going to ask you if he was really doing Sign or just faking it. its actualy impessive to watch knowing he is really signing the whole song.

It's very stylized and very much signed in American Sign Language style, that is, in concepts rather than word-for-word. Very cool. But why does he remind me of Jim Carrey?

I agree: A lot of his stuff is very stylized (no clue about the word-for-word part, but I trust P2

). He seems to inject a lot of humor, including self-depricating humor, along with a jokey style. I wish he did more serious stuff because he is interesting to watch.
