Little Big’s “Skibidi” Has Sparked An International Dance Craze

From the Macarena to the Cha-Cha Slide, dance crazes and pop music have always gone hand in hand. The latest comes to us all the way from Russia. Little Big, a rave band from St. Petersburg, has a massive European hit on their hands with “Skibidi.” While much of the success is due to the song being ruthlessly catchy (it will be stuck in your head in no time), the X Factor here is the video. Or, more specifically, the manic dance routine contained therein. I’m still not sure what’s going on, but I can’t stop watching.

The clip follows the adventures of frontman Ilya “Ilich” Prusikin as he dances around town in frenzied state. Our hero never stops moving, even when he’s hooking up with his (slightly terrifying) missus or drinking vodka. Oh, did I mention that dogs and cats also get in the act? There’s also a dance-off that plays like Michael Jackson’s “Bad” on super-powered Soviet LSD. Having conquered Europe, Little Big now has their sights on America. And, considering that the video has racked up 65 million views in just over a month, it’s only a matter of time before it takes off here.
