You're walking through the woods. There's no one around and your phone is dead. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot him: Shia LeBoeuf
How do you sneak up on someone when you've gnawed off your own leg? Hopping is pretty loud.
In the time it has taken you to ask this question, Shia LaBeouf has eaten your left arm.

I always thought it was pronounced "La Boof".

I was waiting so hard for this to show up here.
There's an animation for the song (it doesn't really add much). Also, his wikipedia page was temporarily changed to classify him as an 'actual cannibal'.

Sorry, the silly-song-with-nonsense-celebrity-tie-in-song championship is still held by Britney's Silver Can.

However, the Britney song expresses tragedy in ways that I could never explain.

La-BUFF.
Than it's different from every other LeBoeuf I've ever heard of. They go by La Beef.

It's French. ("The beef.") It is pronounced Luh Boof, where the oo is like in book. (Unless you're Scottish or something, and then it's like food.)

So, does the song's protagonist now assume the role of feral homicidal maniac since he vanquished Shia?
I like to imagine that the Shia song tells the true story of this video.

I am not sure what the hell I just listened to or what damage it may have done to my brain, but I was amused.

See, this is why his name bugs me. It's LaBeouf. That's not the same as boeuf (beef). I always want to pronounce it like boeuf, but it's just ... not ... right ...

At 20, Shia LaBeouf (it's pronounced Shy-ah LaBuff) is already an accomplished actor with a lengthy résumé.
Shia Saide LaBeouf (pronounced /ˈʃaɪ.ə ləˈbʌf/ SHY-ə lə-BUFF; born June 11, 1986) is an American actor, voice actor, and comedian.
"Hi, I'm Shia La-BUFF, and I'm hosting Saturday Night Live."

There was some weirdness when I clicked on the link, and the ghostly words "Shia LaBoeuf" followed my mouse cursor for a few minutes while I did other things in other applications. He knows.

I had never noticed that until you pointed it out -- in my mind, I'd always read it as 'boeuf' and mentally pronounced it accordingly. (I don't believe I've ever spoken his name out loud.)
Huh.

Yeah, but Shia himself repeatedly said in interviews that his name translates to "Thank God for beef."
And do you really want to make him angry by disputing him?....

Actually, what I read is that his grandmother changed the spelling of her name from "La Boof" to "La Beouf", or something like that.

Also this really sounds like that old radio series that was on This American Life or RadioLab recently, a second person told radio drama called something like YOU ARE ...and it would have "You" in various perils like "You are hanging off the cliff by one hand, pirates in pursuit..." and a new dangerous situation every week or so.

Whoa, it is La Beouf. Weird.
And, also, it's Sabrina Le Beauf who played Sondra Huxtable.
WTF, BEEFS???
