The video footage depicting this glitch was uploaded onto the popular Japanese video-sharing site Nico Nico Douga on July 12th, 2007. Less than two weeks after the first posting, another NicoNico user named “Chomimen” re-edited the ‘half-inserted cartridge’ footage and paired it with a 1997 J-pop love song entitled “Promise”. The resulting video was given the title of “007 Golden Eye Chaos Carnival – GET-DDAN”, with the word “GET-DAN” being Engrish for “Get Down.” However, it took another year for the Geddan prototype to be discovered by Lamaze P, a well-known NicoNico “archives digger”, who then posted an animated version of the dance. Soon other videos featured anime characters and live people doing the dance, adding a hip shake and pelvic thrust. Most “Get Down”/GEDDAN videos found on Youtube appear to have been posted heavily around the last week of November, 2008.…</p> </div> </div> <div class='c' id='entry_content'> <h2>About</h2> <p>Get Down is a Japanese meme that originated from a glitch in the N64 game <em>Goldeneye</em>, where the characters (and vehicles) would suddenly “spaz out” if the game cartridge was only partially inserted in the console.</p> <h2>Origin</h2> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EDJ7woeAQeI&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EDJ7woeAQeI&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>The video footage depicting this glitch was uploaded onto the popular Japanese video-sharing site <a href="http://www.nicovideo.jp">Nico Nico Douga</a> on July 12th, 2007.</p> <p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hNW17U-k9qg&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hNW17U-k9qg&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p> <p>Less than two weeks after the first posting, another NicoNico user named “Chomimen” re-edited the ‘half-inserted cartridge’ footage and paired it with a 1997 J-pop love song entitled “Promise”.
