<h2>About</h2>
<p>The Flea Market Montgomery commercial is a remarkable example of an overnight internet sensation. Sammy Stephens, a local businessman and former disk jockey from Montgomery, Alabama, created a rap-inspired 0:30 commercial for his flea market, Flea Market Montgomery. The commercial featured a simple two-step dance and catchy words to describe the market, with phrases including “just like a mini mall”, “<span class="caps">HEY</span>! <span class="caps">HEY</span>!” and “OH <span class="caps">YEAH</span>!”.</p>
<p>The success of the Flea Market Montgomery commercial has spawned multiple iterations and remixes, including <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Uux__e5aw">an American Idol mashup</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYww8PsJEfU">dance instructions</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUdsm-LInvY">prank phone calls</a>, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEQbIrGUBrc">exclusive tours</a>.</p>
<p>Stephens has appeared on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vX5m5rkPsY">the Ellen DeGeneres Show</a> and other news outlets (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_ChAG0N6ic">1</a>), also having created commercials for other local businesses (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZwoGEYKTh0">1</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfKg5JpmJF4">2</a>) and promotional segments for the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNkdqtpmFqE">Atlanta Braves</a> and <a href="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/FLMM5719/mycustompage0048.htm">VH1</a>.</p>
