Hello people!
I noticed this entry a while ago on this website, and a saw that there were some questions about it’s popularity. Eventhough I made the video I did not really keep track.
However, in january 2008 I contacted the albinoblacksheep peeps about the number of views. Added that to the view count of the many copies on youtube, metacafe and a few other video sites and the total was just touching 10 million. I could not count how many times it was downloaded from my own website. (Now off line).
Just trying to help out.
Greetz!

Given that there are tons of these (such as “I’ve Got A Jar of Dirt”) I think we should have an article that simply encompasses them all, like TV Tropes has.
