Hello Internet!
And welcome to behind the meme, Today we have a look at Darude Sandstorm
Now This is one of those classic memes that has been requested on my channel since I first

Thank you all so very much for all your comments they truly help shape this channel let me
know what you would like to see next and maybe ill be able to make it happen.You guys wanted
it now you have it!
Here We GO!!!
Leave it to timmy is filmed in front of a live studio audience
Has this ever happened to you?
Gee wilikers.
I sure do love this Youtube video and I really like that song that they used.
I wish I knew what it was so I could listen to it on my own time.
Maybe if I ask the kind people in the comment section, they’ll know and help me out.
“Hey fellas what is the song in the video?”
lets see they said “Darude-Sandstorm”
“Kys” that must be a new band “Darude-Sandstorm “
it must be darude sandstorm.
The people on the internet sure are kind and helpful.
oh Timmy you nieve gullible dumb ass!
Ok guys, I’ll be honest not long ago I was Timmy.
I was looking for the title of a song that I heard in a video so I decided to ask the
comment section well I was greeted with a ton of responses all saying the same thing
, darude sandstorm.
So Naturally I typed that into youtube so I can listen to the song that I enjoyed once
more but there was only one problem…instead of the song I was expecting to hear I got
this.
I was pretty disappointed, not because the song was bad or anything, but because I was
punk’d.
Wait is “punk’d” still a relevant term?
Is ashton kutcher even still alive?
Oh right…I forgot…he won the vagina lottery.
What I’m trying to say is I was disappointed because I was trolled.
I soon realized that darude sandstorm was an online joke that had overtaken not only
the comment sections of youtube!
But also the rest of the internet!
If you decided to ask what the title of a song was, The answer was darude sandstorm.
If you wanted to know how somebody was doing…
Darude sandstorm.
If you wanted to ask how is it possible that ijustine is so hot?
Darude sand storm!
Darude sandstorm became the answer to everything.
But how did this happen?
It all seems pretty strange because after all, the sandstorm song was originally released
in 1999.
It’s most likely older than most of you watching this video right now…which reminds
me how old I am…I mean in 1999 I was watching howard stern and pretending to be stone cold
steve austin.
You see the song has the ability to make a person feel pumped up and ready to go. which
is the perfect feeling if you’re about to compete in some type of competition . Which
is exactly what happened.
You see theres a game called league of legends that is very popular and competitive.
In fact it’s very competitive, to the point that there are professional players who have
won a lot of money playing the game and when I say lots of money I mean hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
The point that I’m trying to make is that people take the game very seriously so being
able to make yourself feel pumped up while you’re playing the game is a valuable thing,
and sandstorm is the perfect song
In 2013 a league of legends player known as “theoddone” was hosting a twitch live
stream while darude sandstorm was playing in the background.
The song got him energetic and pretty pumped up as he made some key plays for his team.
darude! darude sandstorm.
Sorry babe you just got darude’d
The video was submitted to the league of legends subreddit where it received a ton of attention
and helped darude sandstorm spread.
Now because the league of legends community is so big, it easily spread beyond that base
community to other areas of the internet where it has become the joke we know it as today.
Darude Sandstorm has even evolved to have an ironic fandom that refers to the song as
the greatest song of all time, but it’s no justin bieber baby…sorry guys the best
song of all time title is already taken.
Since the song has become a meme its popularity has spread in other ways as well with numerous
interesting covers being created to capitalize on its popularity.
So there you have it!
sandstorm started off as a song from a Finnish music producer named darude, before becoming
an internet joke that we have all come across during our time online.
