When people say Nicholas Fraser's vine isn't the best of 2015: why you always lyin'?

It's had more than 16 million loops, but why is a vine sung to the tune of Next's Too Close an internet hit? Because, ironically, it speaks the truth

Along with Blackstreet's No Diggity and Boyz II Men's End of the Road, it was one of the defining R&B jams of the 90s. Now, 18 years after its release, Next's Too Close has provided the source material for one of the best vines on the internet.

A good vine is funny. A great vine is hilarious, but also, crucially, exposes a fundamental truth of our times. This is what Nicholas Fraser has hit on in his immensely popular (16 million loops and counting) vine, which we'll call Why You Always Lyin'.
