This needs to get confirmed? What’s the “OFFICIAL” name though? I always thought it was “Monkey Boy Dance” or “Developers Developers Developers”

Boy, I didn’t know anything about this one before I saw it here. But it looks like a meme to me. I won’t vote either way on the name. I’ll just give a +1 vote on confirming it and let another admin who’s more familiar with this make the call.
