To Jump or Not To Jump...

Let me tell you a story...
One day there was a little boy named Mark. He grew up with many music tastes, coming from a family with diverse musical backgrounds. But somewhere in the mid to late 90s, a sort of pop style of music got popular and found its way into his life. Among his first CD albums he owned may have been Vengaboys's The Party Album and Eiffel 65's Europop. Little did he know that these albums would change his music tastes, and his life forever.

Fast forward about a decade later. The boy has become a man. A man with the love of techno flowing through his veins. However, this desire for synthetic beats and fast moving strobe-light action is not limited to the specific genre. The love includes house, rave, euro-pop... you name it.

One night while enjoying a quaint little evening of debauchery in the residence of the Stadium Apartment 110, the idea to play kinda cheesy songs on youtube arises. After playing an instant new favorite (probably because of the whistling), another cheesy song came into Mark's head that he needed to share with his cohorts. And so he brought the video up on youtube and played the tune, sharing his animosity towards the lead singer (especially his fur hood) and his love of the jumpstyle dance moves performed throughout the video.

The love of this new dance style caught on... and an adventure began.

So now, for your pleasure, is the video that started a phenomenon and an epic journey that will blow your mind once completed.




Warning: It doesn't get good until about 45 seconds in. Stick with it. Trust me.
