♪ (dramatic chord) ♪

Yes!

There's a cool looking guy.

Is this old?

I feel like I should know what this is.

- ♪ (Darude, "Sandstorm") ♪ - It's that one song.

(sighs) I see the name of this in the comments all the time.

This song was one of the first videos

I ever posted on the internet of me dancing.

♪ (vocalizing along) ♪

♪ (Darude, "Sandstorm") ♪

(giggling)

Oh my god, this is so good.

♪ (humming along) ♪

♪ (vocalizing) ♪

(through laughter) In slow motion.

Then there's a weird man just watching how it happened.

I'm assuming he's probably the DJ.

♪ (tempo speeds up) ♪

Is it-- Wait, I don't understand what the point of this is.

♪ (tempo slows down) ♪

(snickering)

I love stuff like this. It's so bad it's good.

This is not even like-- I'm bored.

Parkour? Hardcore parkour?

They hardcore parkour.

Slow motion crappy parkour.

- (dog barks) - (laughing) I can't-- It's so stupid.

Oh, okay. The K9 unit.

Now we're talking.

No, it's just a guy with a dog.

Oh, he's back.

He's like, "I'm in a car now."

♪ (tempo speeds up) ♪

This is like a totally defunct stunt instructional video.

♪ (lively tempo) ♪

How long is this?

This is so boring!

Oh my god! (laughing)

What is happening?

Now they're running on a track. No reason. Just because.

(laughing)

Oh yeah!

OOOOOH!

Oh, she was in on it!

Ooooh my god.

There he is! There he is!

Was he in on it?

Then they're on a boat.

They're gonna kiss. They're gonna kiss.

They look like they're gonna make out!

Yeah!

Oh, so this guy's like the boss.

Oh, they're all lovers!

You gotta get the babes at the end.

(silence)

I don't even know what I just watched.

I do not know why you made me watch that.

That was the best-- better than the tentacle porn one.

♪ (dramatic chord) ♪

(Finebros) So have you ever heard that song

or seen that video before?

I have never seen the music video for that before

and I'm a little upset that I have now.

Hell, yes!

I've definitely heard the song.

I have heard that song.

I have heard the song. I have not seen the video.

I've heard the song. The video's all new to me.

I've heard the song many, many, many times,

specifically in middle school, high school.

It was just my jam.

What song was that?

Now you answer...

Well, everyone in the comments answers for me.

(Finebros) How would you describe the music video?

Best video ever.

It felt like a student film.

It was so bad that it's almost like complex and existential.

It was probably made well for the time,

but seemed very '90s?

Was it '90s?

(Finebros) It was '90s, which brings the question:

obviously, we would not be showing you something

unless it went viral-- why do you think this music video went viral?

Is there somebody in there that's famous and we don't know it?

Was there something politically incorrect in it?

That video that people link to to, like, "Gotcha!"

I don't know why it happened, what sparked it,

but recently when anyone asks a question in YouTube comments,

what is, I don't know, the song in the video,

the answer is always "Darude - Sandstorm."

Every single comment in my videos, on my livestreams is,

"What was that song he was playing at the start of it?"

"Darude - Sandstorm."

I thought it was a couple people and I'm like,

"Okay, this guy's a little confused."

And then when I realized a hundred other people

were just as easily confused, I'm like,

"Okay, they're not confused. They're doing this for a reason."

I think it was funny the first one hundred times.

Now it's just kind of expected.

(Finebros) Well, it's called "Sandstorm", by Darude.

Is that what that is?!

Oh my god!!!

This is what all my comments have been about?

(Finebros) Well, according to internet lore--

(cracking up)

Start every sentence with that.

(Finebros) The song was used as a background track

during someone's League of Legend's livestream.

Livestreams. There you go.

(Finebros) And it resulted in a lot of people asking,

"What song is that?"

Long story short, now it's a meme that whenever someone asks,

"What song is that?" in the comments of a video...

They say "Darude - Sandstorm".

- (Finebros) Yes. - I've seen that!

- (Finebros) Yes! - I have seen--

Now it's all coming together.

Who knew that watching that would clear something up.

Really?

I don't know how I don't know this.

The Internet is so weird! Everyone, get outside.

I remember the first time I saw it.

I was so confused because everyone was in on this joke

and I wasn't in on the joke.

I'm happy that I'm inside the joke now

because if I hadn't seen all that go down,

I'd be like, "Excuse me, no it's not."

(Finebros) Not only that, it's morphed and people just leave the comment now.

I guarantee you, you will find "Darude - Sandstorm" on your own videos

because people just leave the comment everywhere.

Is everyone gonna leave the comment in this video?

(Finebros) These days, it's even left to describe something

- that is supposed to be awesome. - What?

(Finebros) Because, after all, Darude - Sandstorm

- is the best song of all time. - I mean, you can't argue with that.

Oh, without question.

It is the best song of all time.

So it's like, "Why would you need to listen to any other song?"

It was actually my introduction to techno music,

so it holds a place near and dear to my heart

and I feel that a lot of people who are commenting

don't necessarily respect that history.

(Finebros) We actually have some definitions of "Darude - Sandstorm"

- from urbandictionary.com. - Oh, this is good.

Okay, I wanna hear this.

God bless Urban Dictionary.

- Thank you. - (paper rustles)

"Every song in the world that people do not know the name to."

(laughing) This is so silly.

"Example-- Commenter: What is that song?"

- "Replier:" - (both) "Darude - Sandstorm."

(Finebros) And another definition in Urban Dictionary.

"The name of every song in existence."

"Commenter: What's the name of the song at 21 seconds?"

"Answer: Darude - Sandstorm."

(Finebros) And a third.

"A song that will make you gush out rivers

through... what?!"

"A song that will make you gush out rivers...

through genitals..."

"..as it has the power to penetrate your soul."

Your own genitals or just any genitals,

'cause it didn't specify.

"It's basically the best song ever."

(Finebros) So what do you think of the Internet,

that can create this type of meme that can travel this far?

The Internet is a [bleep] genius.

I think it's great.

YouTubers also do that.

Like, I've done that several times and I'm like,

"Okay, go comment on everybody's video this random thing"

and then people were just really confused.

It's too much power.

It's way too much power for one group of people.

Half of me thinks it's so weird and the Internet's so weird,

but then again, I would be one maybe to buy into this

because it's funny.

I think it's cool that the Internet can-- and interesting that the Internet

can make a thing that's kind of old resurface.

It shows you the power of the collective hive mind,

of the YouTube comments section.

It's just crazy, man, how the smallest, most random thing

can just become this monster.

I think it's really cool that someone can just type something

and then it just sends people into weirdness.

(Finebros) Finally, it is not just used as a comment troll.

There also is a video element, so we have an example

- of the video element. - Oh, boy.

♪ (Rick Astley, "Never Gonna Give You Up") ♪

(irritated sigh) Guys, come on!

This is not the first time I've been Rick Rolled here.

♪ (Rick Astley, "Never Gonna Give You Up") ♪

Of course it is.

Every time we come in here, you guys Rick Roll us.

Goddamn it. Goddamn it.

All right, cool. Awesome. Thanks so much.

(Jack) Well, gotta run.

(sighs) You guys.

You guys. Dammit!

Yeah, oh you mother [bleep]. (laughing)

How dare you!!!

I hate both of you.

I was waiting for it. Y'all suck. Y'all suck butt.

I like this one better. Rick Roll the [bleep] out of me.

I'm into it.

Am I missing something 'cause I just... I'm hearing the Rick Roll.

Oh, you Rick Rolled me.

I thought it was going to be a mash-up of the two.

That would be a perfect opportunity.

Did you just Rick Roll me?

You're [bleep] dicks, man! Get [bleep] off yourselves.

I can't even be mad.

You... you waited for the opportune time.

That was actually beautiful.

I can't even-- I can't fault you for that.

Dammit!

Thanks so much for watching another episode of YouTubers React.

Let us know in the comments what video

we should react to next.

And don't forget to subscribe to all these beautiful faces

and channels 'cause of Darude - Sandstorm.
