  <title>What is Love?</title>
  <content>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;What is Love&lt;/em&gt; is a song created by Haddaway in 1993.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The song reached #2 in the UK and Germany, but it reached #1 in thirteen other countries, all of them European or Asian. In the United States the song reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #12 in Australia. It was a very popular song&amp;#8230;but that&amp;#8217;s just the start of the fad.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the 1990s popular TV program &lt;em&gt;Saturday Night Live&lt;/em&gt; started doing their &amp;#8220;Night At The Roxbury&amp;#8221; sketches, which featured two guys who go to clubs to get girls and universally ending in disaster. Usually the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SNL&lt;/span&gt; host would be a third person out clubbing. The sketches were notable for shots of the trio driving, bobbing their heads to &lt;em&gt;What Is Love&lt;/em&gt;. A particular neck-crink style&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In June 2005 a &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;YTMND&lt;/span&gt; was published featuring an animated gif from the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SNL&lt;/span&gt; clip, heads bobbing endlessly. It was a huge success and &lt;a href=&quot;http://whatisnes.ytmnd.com&quot;&gt;the variants&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://whatishoth.ytmnd.com/&quot;&gt;poured&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://machinecity.ytmnd.com/&quot;&gt;forth&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;em&gt;What is Love&lt;/em&gt; was paired with goth singers, Bill Cosby, the &lt;a href=&quot;/memes/o-rly&quot;&gt;O &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;RLY&lt;/span&gt;?&lt;/a&gt; owl, iPod commercials, video game characters, and so many others.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In February 15, 2007, user JoeandTom of Newgrounds submitted a flash movie called &lt;em&gt;What is Love?&lt;/em&gt;. It used &lt;em&gt;South Park&lt;/em&gt;-style anination and told a story of a man trying to get a girl to like him. JoeandTom won &amp;#8220;Daily Feature&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;Weekly Users&amp;#8217; Choice,&amp;#8221; and his animated stands today with a score of 4.34 with 46,455 votes and 574,969 views.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But the question remains&amp;#8230; what &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; love?&lt;/p&gt;</content>
