I'm Brazilian and this initial introduction to the song reminds me of a gospel song here in our country. It's incredible how universal the song is because it's practically the same melody

The story of the video is pretty amazing. Its deliberately made as a bit of a joke to look cheap. MTV originally rejected it for broadcast as they thought it wasn't professional TV standard. Then Norman Cook had to explain it was meant to be bad. The song took off, people thought the video was hilarious, and against the odds, it ended up winning the three awards at the 1999 MTV awards! When they were filming, someone was frantically running around getting legal permission from all the people in the background shots so it could be used.

this was before anybody even knew what a "flash mob" was

[@satchelsatchel]

A flash mob is a flash mob. Cavemen formed a flash mob to dance during the middle of their dinosaur barbeque. Perhaps you mean “before the expression ‘flash mob’ was coined.”

after all these years, this still cracks me up. this is probably one of the best music videos of the 90's. this won 3 vmas from mtv vma in 1999. initially i thought this was scripted, like the "background audiences" were paid actors. this was actually for real, they didn't even bother to get any permission from the theater's owner to do this cult like dance in front of that place lmfao.

Best music video ever. It is so bad that is is beyond so good. It is so awesome. So spectacular. So sublime that you will tear up and wish Spike put you in the music video and you have this epic claim to fame of being in this video for this incredible song.

Really? Wow! I didn’t know that. Thank you.

Can we go back to the 90s please, stop time and forget that anything past 2000 ever happened? And did you notice that nobody was recording with smartphones, just enjoying the moment. Great times.

Well here I am again on another 90s music nostalgia trip and this comes up! Suddenly I’m transported back to the late 90s, watching Rage (Australian late night music video program), I’m dialling up the internet and talking in chat rooms. If there is one song that captures the spirit of the late 90s, then this is it!

[@JOHAMSK8]
