It says a lot about how seriously people take the Grammy Awards that a video of Taylor Swift's performance of All Too Well has attracted around 180,000 views, while a 28-second clip of it complete with high kicks from Street Fighter's Ryu has already clocked over 2.2 million.

The perfectly-executed clip lampoons Swift's head thrusts as she sits at the piano, imagining each as the recoil from a martial arts kick.
Disingenuously titled 'Taylor Swift attacked at Grammys', the video features arcade favourite Ryu from Street Fighter and racked up over a million hits in less than 24 hours.
Taylor refuses to be beaten at its close, ploughing on with the chorus of All Too Well as Ryu laments: "I still don't have what it takes, I must train harder."
