A IOSYS classic Touhou MAD remixed to sound as if the singer, in this case Alice, is having difficulties with the words gets a charming visual re-remix, and has suddenly proven highly popular:
This is part of the “uro-oboe” (vague recollection) meme, where songs are edited for moe dojikko effect to appear as though the singer is charmingly having difficulty remembering the lyrics. Watching the videos, rather than reading the explanation, is likely more helpful in understanding this.
With 200,000 views in a few days, and even more on the original non-animated version, it is evidently a popular subject…
The original iconic song by IOSYS, “Marisa Stole a Terrible Thing” (the thing in question being Alice’s heart), for comparison purposes:

Thanks for posting this up Artefact. J-Core MADs are the best I tell you!!! =D
*jumping is not a crime*
I remember hearing this song accompagned with a video about gore in video games, the result was... Very disturbing; so much blood and innards with such cute song....
that's so cute~ <3
Awww... definitely moe!
I do like how her puppets attempt to show her the lyric cards, but is knocked away by Suika.
i didnt even notice that the first time lol
I think the original name for Alice Vaguely Remembers A Major Song is Alice Forgot the Precious Lyrics.
But i guess it doesn't really matter.
You'd think she'd remember that song after singing it thousands of times in as many versions of that video on the web.
I like the videos
Non-animated > the ugly alice...
All the people that say it doesn't seem natural or 'forced', I bet they don't even understand half the lyric there...
I think they're referring to how synthesized it sounds. Try stopping your speech in a millisecond like she's doing in the song; it's impossible.
My head just exploded.
I don't see how they did this at all.
These sort of MADs are like someone is scratching my brain with hard wire!
Very funny nonetheless.
Really? I enjoy the original song, and having Alice sing it adds in the cuteness factor.
Stole a "Terrible" Thing?
I always thought it was "Precious"
Look up "taihen" - in this context it might mean "important" or "troublesome", it has plenty of meanings. "Precious" is probably a reasonable interpretation.
Regardless of what might be the /best/ definition, 'Marisa Stole the Precious Thing' is what 99.9% of people know it as...
I can happily ignore that all the same.
90% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
ZUN says it's the precious thing.
it doesn't sound like they're messing up lyrics as much as the author just remixed them singing too quickly, as in techno songs, in my opinion
Love Alice.
seemed too forced to me, hush, could have done better
Nice
The editing is amazing, but the facial expressions really make the "forgetting the lyrics" really convincing.
These waves of Touhou MADs are bringing my mind closer to a state of ecstasy.
Keep 'em coming :D
nnnnnngggggghhhhh
kawaiii *_*
I lol'ed hard
