Usage In Media[edit]

The song is most infamous for a pornographic animated video featuring Ankha from the Nintendo video game series Animal Crossing, with the song playing throughout the whole video. The video was then cropped and used as an "if you know, you know" style of Meme, with people playing along with the joke, saying that she was just dancing[6]. This meme became so popular that the original creator of the video, Peter Murray Hall, AKA Zone, published a SFW version where Ankha is actually dancing on their Newgrounds page.[7]
