Once Video, Twice Viral
Some videos burn viral forever. Others inspire ridiculous memes that evolve into pop culture phenomenon. And still others claw out of their “Flavor of the Week” graves to walk among the living (and feed on human brains) once more.
Dan Deacon’s “Drinking Out of Cups” has gone viral for the second time in three years thanks to Twitter and Sarah Silverman.
Contrary to Silverman, popular belief and logical explanation, the Baltimore glitch-pop master was NOT under the influence of LSD when he created this little gem back in 2003. In fact he was completely sober, flipping channels with the volume down and microphone in-hand, doing improv satire of Long Islanders.
The reptilian tough guy was added by Liam Lynch circa 2006. This would make a much more interesting alternative to the Geico Gecko, no?
It’s also worth noting that Mr. Deacon has an incredible beard.
