About
Wholesome Parrots Dancing is a series of videos of parrots form the video game Minecraft dancing to the song "Omae Wa Mou." Beginning in mid-2019, various video creators made their own version of the video, either in Minecraft or in an animated music video.
Origin
On May 5, 2017, the album "TOHO BOSSA NOVA 2" was released by Shibayan Records for the Touhou Project. [1] Track nine of that album, "タイニーリトル・アジアンタム [今昔幻想郷 ～Flower Land]" (titled "Tiny Little Adiantum" in English), was later remixed on September 22nd, 2017 under the title "Omae Wa Mou (Tiny Little Adiantum Remix/Lil Boom – Already Dead Instrumental)."[2] This version combined the lyrics to the beat of Lil Boom's "Already Dead," which features Kenshiro's catchphrase Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru before the beat drop.[3] As of September 27th, 2019, the remix has over 14 million views on YouTube (shown below).
On June 7th, 2017, Minecraft update 1.12 added parrots to the game as a tameable mob. If standing near a jukebox playing music, these parrots will dance in a direct reference to the meme Party Parrot. (shown below, left).[4]
On July 30th, 2019, the first video featuring Minecraft parrots dancing to "Omae Wa Mou" was uploaded by YouTuber Сет, amassing only 9,000 views.[5]
Spread
Days later, on August 2nd, Jozzo uploaded a longer and higher-quality version featuring more of the song and dancing. As of October 2019, the video has more than 4 million views (shown below).[6]
Various users began recreating the video, either by creating custom minecraft maps and filming themselves, or creating original animations using either hand-drawn images or CGI-animated parrots. For example, on August 4th, YouTuber Godlew uploaded a variation that received more than 1 million views (shown below, left).
On September 4, 2019, CG5 uploaded a cover of Omae Wa Mou in English, with a few dozen parrots dancing in front of a custom stage.[7] The post received more than 700,000 views in less than one month (shown below, right).
