has anybody else figured out what the original audio came from? lmao

Man. I hope this video never goes away. The time I spent watching this - and people having to leave (angry) messages on the call wave add on. I'm actually not sure if that came about later or not. Hamster Dance transcends time

Me explaining to my kids who like the song that this is the stuff we used to go to internet for! 😂😂😂

I remember my teacher showing my class this in first grade and the entire classroom was howling in laughter and I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever seen at that point. Idk if its cause we were kids or if internet humor was so new at that point

Hello from Minneapolis Minnesota United States 2024

are u still alive

Very nice 🙂.

gampster

Try 0.5 speed

😂 i remember

I'm old enough to know this meme but I never understood it, when I received it the images would just be static and no music, maybe you needed a different email client than my family had. Thanks to youtube magic I'd finally saw it in all his glory, it only took like 25 years tho 😂

Sometimes we need a little silliness!

Does this ever get old?

Nostalgia brought me here, the hamsters kept me here.

Randomly remembering this exists

Is this somewhere on the net?

I miss 1997, when the internet was still a baby.

😂

My dad loved this when it first came out in 99

leaving my comment for my future child and my self

This took like five minutes to load with a 56k modem.

Now I want to play Elf Bowling

omg

Still cracks me up, after all these years 🤣🤣🤣

Where did I park that time machine.

Leaving a comment for future youtube See you in next 13 years

This takes me back! I was a Sophomore in Highschool when this site came out. The future seemed so bright back then. This website gave me hope.

Bro my band teacher showed me this song

For some reason, this version of the song is unsettling. Well for me at least. The 2000 version was better.

OMG I REMEMBER THIS

Technically, The Hampster Dance is nightcore.

I remember watching this in college and finding it to be simultaneously the dumbest and most entertaining thing ever

Im pretty sure before new years 2000, my mom would casually watch this on her computer while everyone was freaking out about Y2K

Where's the one where you shoot em all with a Mac 10. I was on new grounds I think

The original rickroll.

This part of the Internet is so nostalgic to me. I miss it so much.

one of the first misspellings online to torture me...

Anyone remember the JesusDance version? Looked everywhere but can't find it. Lol, it was hilarious!

I've been online since well before Hampster dance. I still wouldn't how to create something like this.

I remember when I saw that website in about 1999 and laughed my ass of because of those hampsters😀

-97 is right. I was 15 back then and we listened to this in our school's IT class (though nobody knew what IT was back then). Back then only schools and other public buildings could afford internet. How weird it is to think how we had dial-up modems and could only use internet for an hour a day, and even that cost an arm and a leg.

One of the very first things to go viral online lol

I miss this internet

Cut and adorable.

Any kid who has watched Disney's Robin Hood should know this music.

The ancients of the internet

I remember my Grandpa sent this to me via email. I miss him!

what kids need to understand is that this was the height of cool shit to forward to friends when the internet was newborn. i went online first in fall of 1996 in my first semester of college at 18yrs old. no cell phone. literally had an english class as a college frosh where we went to the college library and signed up for our first email addresses. we also read neuromancer. then i met the love of my life, met my husband, met great friends i still know today! i'll be 46 in 3 days. my generation was the last generation to grow up without tech in our hands. gen X... the last fully human generation. for most of us it started with aol.

I first heard this in my Speedwriting class in 1998. We were in the computer lab and someone happened on this. We couldn't stop laughing.
