Caramella Girls in 2008 uploaded a 3D animated video with 3 anime looking girls dancing to the beat of the sped up version, which introduced it to the internet and became a world-wide meme. The song is one of most popular and oldest memes of the internet. This animation was made by "M industries and Pär Mostad" as seen in the Supergott (Speedy Mixes) album physical release.[1]
