02:32
(Finebros) So have you ever heard that song
02:36
or seen that video before?
02:38
I have never seen
the music video for that before
02:39
and I'm a little upset that I have now.
02:41
I've definitely heard the song.
02:43
I have heard that song.
02:44
I have heard the song.
I have not seen the video.
02:45
I've heard the song.
The video's all new to me.
02:48
I've heard the song many, many, many times,
02:50
specifically in middle school, high school.
02:54
It was just my jam.
02:55
What song was that?
02:56
Well, everyone in the comments
answers for me.
03:00
(Finebros) How would you
describe the music video?
03:02
It felt like a student film.
03:05
It was so bad that it's almost
like complex and existential.
03:07
It was probably made well for the time,
03:13
but seemed very '90s?
03:15
(Finebros) It was '90s,
which brings the question:
03:18
obviously, we would not be
showing you something
03:20
unless it went viral-- why do you think
this music video went viral?
03:22
Is there somebody in there
that's famous and we don't know it?
03:25
Was there something
politically incorrect in it?
03:28
That video that people
link to to, like, "Gotcha!"
03:30
I don't know why it
happened, what sparked it,
03:33
but recently when anyone asks
a question in YouTube comments,
03:36
what is, I don't know,
the song in the video,
03:40
the answer is always "Darude - Sandstorm."
03:42
Every single comment in my videos,
on my livestreams is,
03:44
"What was that song he
was playing at the start of it?"
03:48
"Darude - Sandstorm."
03:50
I thought it was
a couple people and I'm like,
03:51
"Okay, this guy's a little confused."
03:52
And then when I realized
a hundred other people
03:54
were just as easily confused, I'm like,
03:56
"Okay, they're not confused.
They're doing this for a reason."
03:58
I think it was funny
the first one hundred times.
04:00
Now it's just kind of expected.
04:03
(Finebros) Well, it's called
"Sandstorm", by Darude.
04:04
Is that what that is?!
04:07
This is what all my comments
have been about?
04:11
(Finebros) Well, according to internet lore--
04:13
Start every sentence with that.
04:17
(Finebros) The song was used
as a background track
04:19
during someone's League
of Legend's livestream.
04:21
Livestreams. There you go.
04:23
(Finebros) And it resulted
in a lot of people asking,
04:25
"What song is that?"
04:27
Long story short, now it's a meme
that whenever someone asks,
04:28
"What song is that?"
in the comments of a video...
04:32
They say "Darude - Sandstorm".
04:35
- (Finebros) Yes.
- I've seen that!
04:36
- (Finebros) Yes!
- I have seen--
04:37
Now it's all coming together.
04:39
Who knew that watching
that would clear something up.
04:40
I don't know how I don't know this.
04:44
The Internet is so weird!
Everyone, get outside.
04:46
I remember the first time I saw it.
04:50
I was so confused because
everyone was in on this joke
04:51
and I wasn't in on the joke.
04:53
I'm happy that I'm inside the joke now
04:55
because if I hadn't seen all that go down,
04:56
I'd be like, "Excuse me, no it's not."
04:58
(Finebros) Not only that, it's morphed
and people just leave the comment now.
05:01
I guarantee you, you will find
"Darude - Sandstorm" on your own videos
05:04
because people just leave
the comment everywhere.
05:08
Is everyone gonna leave
the comment in this video?
05:10
(Finebros) These days,
it's even left to describe something
05:12
- that is supposed to be awesome.
- What?
05:14
(Finebros) Because, after all,
Darude - Sandstorm
05:16
- is the best song of all time.
- I mean, you can't argue with that.
05:18
Oh, without question.
05:21
It is the best song of all time.
05:23
So it's like, "Why would you need
to listen to any other song?"
05:24
It was actually my introduction
to techno music,
05:27
so it holds a place near
and dear to my heart
05:30
and I feel that a lot of people
who are commenting
05:34
don't necessarily respect that history.
05:37
(Finebros) We actually have
some definitions of "Darude - Sandstorm"
05:38
- from urbandictionary.com.
- Oh, this is good.
05:42
Okay, I wanna hear this.
05:44
God bless Urban Dictionary.
05:45
- Thank you.
- (paper rustles)
05:47
"Every song in the world that people
do not know the name to."
05:48
(laughing) This is so silly.
05:51
"Example-- Commenter: What is that song?"
05:53
- "Replier:"
- (both) "Darude - Sandstorm."
05:56
(Finebros) And another definition
in Urban Dictionary.
05:58
"The name of every song in existence."
06:01
"Commenter: What's the name
of the song at 21 seconds?"
06:04
"Answer: Darude - Sandstorm."
06:07
(Finebros) And a third.
06:09
"A song that will make you gush out rivers
06:11
"A song that will make you
gush out rivers...
06:15
through genitals..."
06:19
"..as it has the power
to penetrate your soul."
06:20
Your own genitals or just any genitals,
06:23
'cause it didn't specify.
06:25
"It's basically the best song ever."
06:26
(Finebros) So what do
you think of the Internet,
06:28
that can create this type of meme
that can travel this far?
06:30
The Internet is a [bleep] genius.
06:33
I think it's great.
06:35
YouTubers also do that.
06:36
Like, I've done that
several times and I'm like,
06:37
"Okay, go comment on everybody's
video this random thing"
06:39
and then people were just really confused.
06:41
It's too much power.
06:43
It's way too much power
for one group of people.
06:44
Half of me thinks it's so weird
and the Internet's so weird,
06:46
but then again, I would be
one maybe to buy into this
06:50
because it's funny.
06:53
I think it's cool that the Internet can--
and interesting that the Internet
06:54
can make a thing
that's kind of old resurface.
06:57
It shows you the power
of the collective hive mind,
07:00
of the YouTube comments section.
07:03
It's just crazy, man, how
the smallest, most random thing
07:05
can just become this monster.
07:10
I think it's really cool that
someone can just type something
07:13
and then it just sends
people into weirdness.
07:15
(Finebros) Finally, it is not just used
as a comment troll.
07:19
There also is a video element,
so we have an example
07:21
- of the video element.
- Oh, boy.
