The video was written and produced by Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson, featuring a rap verse by Wilson. It was first posted on YouTube on February 10, 2011, and quickly gained attention after being featured on the Tosh.0 blog and ridiculed by comedian Michael J. Nelson. The video's viral success led to it becoming a meme, with numerous parodies and remixes. Despite its negative reception, it amassed over 167 million views before being temporarily removed due to legal disputes.
