This song has gone viral, the video you linked gained 220 million views within a month and a half.

To those, the song is addictive whilst to others, it is completely bonkers.

You guys have no right to call the song horrible when you don't even know what it's saying. To be honest, it's catchy, and it's better than "Baby" or "Friday".

This is some other people's culture, sure it's crazy, but to the person who called the people who watched this song "mindless idiots", you're an idiot.

because no one pirates it

The video is pretty random and funny, but I have no idea why the song is number one. It took the place of Call Me Maybe it seems. That song was very repetitive.

The song is most likely famous because of the dance or because it's catchy.

JordaanGB wrote Well, the internet has changed over the last years.

Alot of under 18's, have joined, and created accounts on every single site. Think about all the 'trick-shot' MW2 videos, probably 90% from kids 14 and under. Pornography sites, have alot of traffic, from under-age viewers. Stats show that 42% of youths age 10-17 had seen Internet porn in the past year. If you get the idea, so many kids have the internet, at their fingertips now, so alot of kids must like this song. Looking at the Channels, who have commented on your link, it looks as if they are under 17 etc.

Just basically overall stating, that lots of things, crazy make it today, just how the world is.

I was going to nearly say the same exact thing!

Cuz people are stupid and like TRASH now a days and do not know good music.

*9dj9*

Its because its funny for people my age.Most people watch it for the video and because its alot better than Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj.

It's like rebeca black, bad but easy to make fun of

Because it's cool, and super funny.
And emo/nerd hate on it because it's not screamo.
