I am too old to remember this
Yeah, I came here to say that the first generation of memes is 10 years older than this new stuff from the 2000s

That's cool, but they're NOT the space robots. They are NOT here to protect us. They will not protect us from the terrible secret of space.
Dunno maybe this was localized but
Tunak Tunak Tun was declared the anthem of my California middle school computer graphics class. Lots of FlashMX tribute animations and such.
It apparently went way beyond that, as we saw the Draenei rocking that dance in WoW: Burning Crusade. :D
It still freaking slaps. :D
It was a great time for foreign music, as Gary's silly dance and lip sync to the "numa numa" song was proliferating everywhere.
I wonder if a lot of this was from all the fun file sharing and explosion of P2P networks going on? I don't miss how easy it was to catch malware but I do miss some very particular feeling about those days...
Don't check his Wikipedia page if you still want to enjoy that song.
After all these years I still don't understand if what he did was amoral-- the "human trafficking" listed on the page was to smuggle people into the US, but that's as much information as I can find. If he put those people into nefarious circumstances that's one thing, but if he basically acted as a conduit to get people into the US who otherwise wouldn't have had the opportunity it's a different matter entirely.
I'd love some clarification on the issue.

Okay the insanity of this. I do not recall EVER hearing of tunak tunak tun. Like I just have no memory of anyone showing it to me, sharing it with me, nothing. But I read the words, and the beat starts, rhythmically perfect...
