Party Rock Anthem has the same BPM as a lot of songs, and it's a glorious meme now

Welcome to the most beautiful thing on the internet.

Please take a moment to appreciate one of the internet's greatest gifts: the Party Rock Anthem music video set to other songs.

LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem captures the spirit of 2011, from the thick rimmed glasses, to the skinny jeans, to the inexplicable trend of wearing vests over T-shirts. Although the song is now rarely played at public events other than sweet sixteens and unfortunate weddings, it's still a beloved piece of pop culture. It's so thoroughly enjoyed, it went diamond earlier this year, snagging 10 million units through song sales and streams.

But in case the infectious beat and enthusiastic lyrics are too much for you to actually enjoy, Twitter has your back. People have been setting the music video's upbeat choreography to other songs that have the same beats per minute, and the results are hilarious.

The meme originated with @Josejusejo, who realized that the music video synced up perfectly with the Evangelion theme song, which created an unfortunate nightmare blending anime and 2011 party culture.
