History JustForFun / CaramelldansenVid

This animation meme is about that effort, that now spans hundreds of different videos on Website/YouTube and Website/NicoNicoDouga. It doesn't help now that the band wrote an English version of the song just because of its internet popularity, including a line in the chorus saying "Look at Website/YouTube clips do it..." They even translated the lyrics to Japanese since the sped-up Swedish singer does sound vaguely [[BuffySpeak anime theme song-ish]]. The Website/YouTube channel [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ilovecaramell ilovecaramell]] even posted a German version of this song. And now, they've made a [[ChristmasSpecial Christmas version]].

It might be noteworthy to [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment note]] that the song is a case of divisiveness in some circles. A word of warning: the song is prime EarWorm material, so don't go following the links if you're prone to getting songs stuck in your head. It's also worth pointing out that this got started on Website/YouTube, ''not'' Website/{{YTMND}}, despite consisting of a looping animation accompanied by looping audio. A sign of the times, it seems... You can really find anything for it, for example...

Now it seems [[MemeticMutation the internet won't stop]] until [[GottaCatchThemAll at least one character from every major work]] is animated in that style and dancing to the song. It's almost as ubiquitous as RuleThirtyFour. Even the ''[[AscendedMeme official]]'' music video that was eventually made for the remix features the bob dance and {{animesque}} styling.
