I know this is quite old news really, but I had not seen this until it was linked on Twitter, so I thought I would blog it on the off chance that some one else hadn’t seen it either.
Essentially all it is three videos of some guy (Matt Harding) who travels round the world recording short clips of him doing a little dance (very badly - his own words), each video has been set to the lyrics sung in a dieing Solomon Islands. in the third, and most recent, video Matt is joined by thousands of people who wanted to dance with him.
It sound really lame when I try and explain it all I can say is watch the videos it is worth it!
- “Where the Hell WAS Matt?” - Origional Video
- “Where the Hell is Matt?” - Second Video
- “Where the Hell is Matt? (2008)” - Third Video
You can read more about him on his website at www.wherethehellismatt.com. There is also a really interesting lecture by Matt in three parts on YouTube: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
