I just dont understand it. When I first saw avatars with characters dancing, I had no idea what kind of dance that was.
And not too long ago I heard a song only for a short time, I cant remember where but I was still clueless to this song relating to these strange dances.
It wasnt too long until I saw more avatars containing more familiar characters doing these dances; I dont want to offend anyone who made them, but they actually scare me.
Later I stumbled onto an image that was Titled Caramelldansen, but I didnt know what that word meant but I still remained clueless to this name relating to both song and dance.
But I never drew myself doing this dance, because since it scared me seeing familiar characters dance that way, I chose not to get involved.
However it was until later when I was checking on Mario paint on youtube and found a song with the same name.
[link]So when I heard its song, it just struck me. So I looked up Caramelldansen and saw characters doing the scary dance as I tried to look for the original until I stumbled into this Music video.
[link]Then I checked the other one in its original language.
[link]And suddenly, it all made sense. The dance, the song and the title were all connected and I realized I have fallen into its trap when I created Us.
So I tried to look up to where and when it began and how it got so popular and I checked it out on Wikipedia and discovered it was written by a Swedish band called Caramell about eight years ago and saw an animated clip of two girls dancing that dance and figured that was the original. But I wanted to know when this dance became so popular.
Although I have to admit, I do like the song but Im not so sure about the dance, the way they just put on a happy face, putting their hands above their heads opening and closing as they shake their hips side to side. Believe me I do not understand how and why this Caramelldansen is so popular.
But theres one last thing Id like to ask you.
Was I the last to know about this?
