A quick Google search for the top 10 most viewed Youtube videos of all time (as you do) revealed this pearler: the evolution of dance by Judson Laipply.
Apparently I’ve been living in a cave -- this video was posted in April 2006 and is now the third most watched video of all time on Youtube, with (at the time of writing) 147,416,530 views -- one of which was me. Finally. Coz I’m a little slow.
According to Judson’s website, mightaswelldance.com, this video has caused him to do rather well for himself. Here’s a snippet:
The popularity of the video has lead to appearances on popular TV shows including Oprah, The Today Show, 20/20, Ellen, BBC, Inside Edition, E!, Good Morning America. He has also been featured in Rolling Stone magazine and People magazine, among many others. In addition, he has also been in two music videos -- one for Bare Naked Ladies and one for Weezer, performed at halftime of the NBA finals, and continues to bring laughter into the lives of all those who watch it.
You need to see this (unless you’re one of the 147,416,529 people who already have). Watch the evolution of dance from the early 50s to the late 00s, all crammed into six minutes.
Legend! 20 points!
