What's with this Darude - Sandstorm thing?

[Filipe]

I've seen this a lot lately, out of nowhere someone replies "Darude - Sandstorm" even on the most off-topic subjects, what is this about? It's just a music.

It was before your time, I suppose.

It's Sandstorm by Darude.

I dunno, it's a joke I've only ever seen on Salty Bet when someone asks what the song that's playing is called.

It's more common on youtube, and even more common if anyone asks a question like "what's the name of this *insert word here*?"

Well here is an example anyway

just another fad/meme taken too far.

I just went on Youtube because I realised it's been forever since I listened to Sandstorm.

95% of the search results are not actually the song, I don't loving get it.

Sandstorm is probably the single most recognizable EDM song in the world. The joke probably came about when people asked what the name of a different obvious song was, so someone replied "Darude - Sandstorm" sarcastically. I'm guessing it just took off from there.

I remember playing some Fortwars gamemode in Gmod years and years ago. I played it quite a lot and I remember absolutely loving it when you won because this song would play for your team and everyone else had to listen to something else.

I figured I could direct you here, but I do remember seeing it the joke as early as 2007 or so. I want to think it's DDR's fault, but I can't say for sure.

according to KYM, it originated from a league of legends stream.
