Remember 2011? Trump wasn’t yet in office, Prince was still alive, and the band LMFAO had a chart-topping single called “Party Rock Anthem.” Now, seven years later, the internet has become obsessed with setting all songs with 129 beats per minute to the dancing in the video for “Party Rock Anthem.”
It apparently all began when Twitter user @Josejusejo realized that “Party Rock Anthem” synced up perfectly with the theme song from anime Evangelion.

Other Twitter users began to get on board, tweeting songs with 129 bpm matched up with the dancing from “Party Rock Anthem.” Like, for example, Jimmy Buffet’s “Margaritaville.”
