We'll give him credit for originality but this has to be THE most cringey job application we have ever seen, heard or watched.
Instead of dropping a CV into the inbox of BuzzFeed staff, Matt Cloutier decided to record himself singing a parody of Simple Minds' Don't You Forget About Me and post it on YouTube, in the hope of gaining an internship with the company.

A small, blissfully silent snippet from Cloutier's performance:
The 19-year-old student from Michigan University has even made it onto Buzzfeed itself, although it is yet to emerge whether Cloutier landed the video internship.
"Instead of making a cover letter to apply for a summer internship at Buzzfeed... I described to them my desire to work at their company through a more interesting medium: SONG!" the hopeful wrote on his YouTube account.
And, for some bizarre reason, if you want to sing along, here are the lyrics:
Buzzfeed, will you hire me
I'm unemployed for summer, twenty fourteen
Tell me what you're looking for
When an intern walks in your door
I really enjoy your website
All your articles help me waste time
Will you just look in my eyes
I need a job and I'm not telling lies, aww
Buzzfeed, will you hire me?
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Buzzfeed, will you hire me?
I want to make videos
For your company. To make you money.
So much money!
Money fallin down
Just wanna be an intern
I'll make you coffee. So much Coffee.
Coffee pouring
Coffee pouring down
Don't you try and pretend
You won't hire me. You'll lose in the end!
I'll work hard, you don't even know
The crazy ideas this cranium holds.
Buzzfeed, will you hire me
I'm unemployed for summer, twenty fourteen
Tell me what you're looking for
When an intern walks in your door, aww
Buzzfeed, will you hire me?
whoa whoa whoa whoa
Buzzfeed, will you hire me?
When you're hiring!
Will you choose my name?!
When you're hiring!
Please, please choose my name
Improvisational blabbering....
I said la, la dee dey dah! La dee dey dah!
La da da la da da la da dee dah, etc.....
