Caramelldansen 10 year anniversary

[Marik2]

For the Swedes here, what was it like when the song came out?

 

[bluegate]

Not from Sweden, just here to say that although the song's alright, the accompanying videos remind me of aids.

Minus points for the video having the English song.

And minus points for that video on the right, the animation and art style is just so atrocious...

 

[Elvis Starburst]

IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS?! Jesus christ, it's been a long 10 years, man...

Those things are the stuff of nightmares, what the hell.

Edit: Yikes at 0:42, doubt her back is ever gonna be the same after that

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

It's been ten years, and yet nobody has managed to get Ted Danson to dance the Caramelldansen.

 

[Drathnoxis]

Still a good song!

So much for progress, the 2008 version looks way better. More energy.
It's not the style I remember though. I remember the one's where the characters looked like cutouts.

 

[Bobular]

Its only been 10 years? It feels like a lot longer.

Still a good song!

I agree, the one on the right looks a lot worse quality and has less energy.

Minus points for the video having the English song.

Also agree here.

Could have sworn the song came out in 2006 not 2008.

You mean this one?

Could have sworn the song came out in 2006 not 2008.

The song itself is actually from 2002. The sped-up version with the dance loop came about a year later.

Both the original have character designs that dive into the uncanny valley, it's hard to look at them. But the more exaggerated camera and movements of the original video makes it difficult to focus much on them too much, so it's not so noticeable. So I like it better as a result.

The one Chimpzy posted, and the Japanese version are far superior, since the more chibi designs don't suck.....

Edit: since I've clearly forgotten how to embed a video properly, here's the link [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6sUeD-HJYEn6sUeD-HJYE]

Those characters need to invest in some firm sports bras

10 years? wow...

I remember we jokingly made this our guild's theme song in WoW. It would at times get randomly played on vent during raids and guild meetings(usually during downtime... usually). People who came with us during raids from outside the guild would be so confused, but they kept coming back because our insanity rubbed off on them.

Those were fun times, before Cataclysm.

 

[Asita]

Yeah...I'm going to go ahead and class this up a bit...

Spoiler

 

[Silvanus]

Caramelldansen is insanely catchy.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE get signal.

I love that one too!

But, I thought it was a Swedish song. Why is this representative of the Japanese?

Because it's autistic like anime. Back in the day, I did think it was an anime song - many others included.

Take off every zig! You know what you doing. Move zig. For great justice!!!!!!!

... should I be worried I still know a lame 17 year old meme by heart?

 

[Vendor-Lazarus]

Swede here.
Great song. Can't say I've heard it all that much before.
It was probably played for the first time on the very last disco I went to.
I prefer the Swedish language version and 'Marik's 2008 one' and 'Bluegate's one'.
So far.

No. Embrace it.
Embrace the first meme most people probably encountered.
It's a milestone.

So I managed to go 10 years without ever knowing about this nonsense? That would have made me happy, if I'd been able to continue my blissful ignorance.

Damn you to whichever particular version of hell you believe in, OP.
