Happy Hardcore DJ Speedycake sped it up, creating the Caramelldansen Speedycake remix. Some bright spark looped a <span class="caps">GIF</span> of two characters from the game/anime Popotan doing a bunny dance to the chorus, and its popularity exploded.</p> <p>Caramelldansen quickly spread out of control across the internet as people made over 16,000 of their own parodies featuring other fictional characters performing the dance, and other variations. It was quickly adopted by the anime community and often featured at conventions- seriously, play it at a con and watch as every cosplayer in earshot starts dancing.</p> <p>Due to the popularity of the song, Remixed Records licensed the track and released their own sped-up version.</p> <p>In 2008 the Remixed Records Caramelldansen reached #1 on the <a href="http://umaumanewsblog.blog21.fc2.com/blog-entry-17.html">Japanese International Chart</a>, beating Bon Jovi.</p> <p><span class="caps">WARNING</span>: You will never get this song out of your head.</p> <p>The original video:<br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UX6e7sO1ss0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UX6e7sO1ss0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>The official video:<br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zvq9r6R6QAY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zvq9r6R6QAY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>A modified <span class="caps">MANOI</span> robot:<br /> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rjDxv37oFHI&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rjDxv37oFHI&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>Trending<br /> <img src="http://www.google.com/trends/viz?q=caramelldansen&graph=weekly_img&sa=N"></img></p> 2009-11-05T03:25:04Z 238 21 http://knowyourmeme.com/system/icons/238/original/Caramelldansen.jpg?1242241322
