Wacky Music Vids For Deaf Are Web Hit



A wacky music lover has become a huge hit on the internet after using sign language to make pop videos for the deaf.

Hundreds of thousands of people have viewed Tyrone Whittle’s unique interpretations of classic tracks by The Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, and The Smiths, which he performs in public.

The 43-year-old can be seen signing the lyrics to the songs as he strikes some unusual dance moves in public places ranging from trains stations to shopping centres.

Tyrone has built up a massive repertoire of other hits on YouTube by bands such as The Verve, The Cure and Coldplay.

The smooth mover started performing his routines after a life-long interest in using movement to communicate and in a bid to impress his former partner.

After learning sign language through a book, and refusing to allow his lack of dance practice to hold him back, his reputation blossomed.

He said: “My ex-wife complained that I never did anything romantic for her.

“I know it sounds strange but I decided I would impress her by learning sign language and performing a dance for her using signing.”

More than 40,000 web users have viewed his performance filmed on a train platform of I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by The Arctic Monkeys.

And Don’t Look Back In Anger by Oasis has attracted 20,000 hits, while I Know It’s Over by The Smiths has gone 5,000 better.
