You bastard.
Looks like it was filmed in Shibuya. Observe that no one pays attention to people doing weird stuff.
Future tense?
Actually, I noticed at least twice where strangers got involved.
EVIL MOTHERFU... ok, haha, it was kinda cute.
Yeah, I have that thing where I hear a crappy tune and it goes round my head for the next 12 hours in a 3-second tape loop. Thanks. (Also, you can imagine I'm loving the ABBA revival that is happening again right now, I thought I was free of those bastards in 1979.)
YouTube blocked in work (I know!!) - what is it of? Save me wondering all day.
I dreamed of stormtroopers last night. They were being attacked by a weird crystal-y-skeleton-y type monster. Plus a city was on fire and I was able to fly around on a strange plank / scooter hybrid.
Good times.
You don't understand how much thought went into deciding if I should share this, and on the manner of how I should share it. I thought that I was A) nevergonna post a Star Wars link, and that I was B) nevergonna post anything about that internet craze. It was a real difficult decision.
Here are some other ones that maybe you'll like better, although the tunes still might be crappy.
Awesome dancingBetter music, audience participation
I think this one is parapara, it's pretty silly regardless.
Oh, and I found that first one via this site, and the rest through the youtube account. I don't recommend browsing the account, a lot is dull, and some is inappropriate. It's because of the inappropriateness that I want to clarify where I found it.
Stop Taunting Me!!!
Hank, the more I get to know you the more I'm convinced we're related in some way. I have the worst case of headsongsticking of anyone I know. And it's uoftennot even a whole song, but just a short tonal pattern.
Re: the videos - guerilla theater is the best and most elemental kind.
I also have "ever-repeating snatches of song" syndrome. It's made worse by the meds I take. This is not the normal "tune gets stuck in your head" thing. It's torturous needled-skipping-on-a-record-for-hours-and-hours-on-end type stuff.
I can't watch the video either. You bastards describe it for kit and me NOW!
I know, Larababy!
I asked for a description HOURS ago and none of these elitist swines will tell me.
*seeths*
It's a dude in full Stormtrooper kit dancing (quite well) on crowded urban Japanese streets. Sometimes people join in with him.
Thank you.
See?
TUM is lovely.

it's called an earworm, people
Thank you, TUM. Now was that so hard?
roryk, that's brilliant! Now figure out how I'm related to Mother Nature!
And Medusa, it's not an earworm. It's the same thing as having to count your footsteps, or step on an even number of cracks. It's way more than an earworm. I know, because I used to have earworms. Now I have these.
I think they need to incorporate a few extra dance moves. And where was Princess Leia in all of this silliness? I would have liked to see the three of them getting down and dirty...
Monkeyfilter: nevergonna give you up post anything about that internet craze
Having no sound at work, I was just now able to figure this out from Flagpole's comment above. It's all making sense now. Thanks for the R&R!! I have a case of earworm induced from memory alone.
On the topic of earworms: I often listen to music in languages that I don't understand. I've had songs stuck in my head that I had no idea how they went.
There's also been times I've woken up with a song stuck in my head that I'm pretty sure I haven't heard in years. These times really suck, because I also wake memory of having dreamt the song. Not a dream that uses the song, or about the song, but the entire act of dreaming replaced by a stuck song.
Luckily, I had an AM radio in my car for so long that I was trained to not be annoyed by any kind of music. I don't find earworms to be annoying, except when I don't know the song at all.
Oh, and smt: Flagpole was quoting me!! argh
Now figure out how I'm related to Mother Nature!
I'll give it a shot:
