today in draw my life . the coffin dance meme
the current situation is not easy for anyone
therefore what should never ever be missing . is a sense of humor
Twitter user Don Chalecos knows this very well.
who appealed to collect those videos that link a tragic ending
with the dancers carrying a coffin to the rhythm of astronomy by Vicetone and Tony Igy
the meme that has gone viral has three magical elements
one . a video in which the protagonists are going to end badly,
either because of a spectacular accident or because doom looms over them
two . the image is changed to that of men dancing with a coffin
three . it is accompanied by the music we have mentioned
In 20 15 . Traveling Sister published the first video about the Africans dancing
this publication was so popular
that in 20 17 . the BBC recorded a report on this Ghanian practice
this ritual is part of an extended funeral service
the men are dressed in black because of mourning
and they wear a peaked hat
they place the coffin on the shoulders to move . dancing to the cemetery
that's why they call themselves . dancing pallbearers
this is how they say goodbye to the deceased . laughing and crying
this service is expensive and exclusive
2 years later . in 20 19 . another video of African dancers came to light . on Facebook from Bigscout Nana Prempeth
however its ending was somewhat unexpected
since the coffin fell to the floor during the dance
it's probably not easy to do
In short . years later the Internet has done its magic
Know Your Meme points to some Finnish Facebook users . as responsible for such a magnificent edit
mixing the videos of fails of the people . with the African funeral dancers . and the song astronomy
and watch out because resistance has also come with this meme
and there are people who have edited videos . in which someone miraculously comes out o the terrible ending
And then there is a man dressed as Jesus Christ dancing triumphantly
but the music is always the same
it is evident that you knew the meme
let us know in the comments of other viral videos you'd like to know their origin
and remember to subscribe if you are not
until the next video
