    Does anyone remember (or have video of) Al Gore’s rendition of the Macarena?

    Gore: Would you like to see me do the Macarena?

    Crowd: <wild cheers>

    Gore: <stands perfectly still>

    Gore: Would you like to see it again?

    There is no cool way to do the Macarena. But you do it anyway. Cause you have to. You must. It calls to you.

    And these are the same people making fun of the 6 7 meme the kids are doing. Knowing we did things like this when we were younger.

      Because 6 7 means nothing and isn’t funny. The Macarena is a (daft) dance. 6 7 is just a couple of numbers.
