The song parody from Les Miserables has garnered tremendous praise over social media and listeners are truly amazed by the video as well. The parody lyrics speak of sports games being missed, shipping delays, Skype issues with one’s grandparents and the issue with excessive phone data. These lyrics are hilarious according to some fans who claim that despite being funny it does talk of a very serious situation.  Besides that, the harmonies of the family members singing too was amazing and listeners were awestruck by the coordination.

The viral video itself has several moments of laughter as it is a spoof of the original song. In the opening itself, viewers get to see an argument between the family members. This soon goes away when a boy holds up a red school jacket on a pole as opposed to the red flag used in the musical of Les Miserables. The parents from the video spoke in an interview with a news portal explaining the formation of the song.

Parents Ben and Danielle Marsh mentioned that the parody for the Les Miserables song was compiled after they observed the different frustrations families were facing. The family added that they had been observing these frustrations from a couple of weeks. They also concluded by saying that they had been practising only a few times at dinner before recording the video in just two takes.
