   "The oral history of the Hampsterdance: The twisted true story of one of the world's first memes" by Leah Collins https://www.cbc.ca/arts/the-oral-history-of-the-hampsterdance-the-twisted-true-story-of-one-of-the-world-s-first-memes-1.4958325

   Some of the behind-the-scenes details are truly bizarre. There was a song on the radio? And it hit #1 on the Canadian charts?

     Also I am disappointed that nobody in the fediverse has made a :hampster: emoji yet.

     I remember in middle school some kid was excitedly telling everyone else at the lunch table, "It's the most amazing website I've ever seen. You have to see it. It's called Hampsterdance."

     So after school, I started up my dial-up connection and went to this website. And he was right; it was the greatest website of all time.
