Nyan Cat.. what did I just watch?

I have just watched this very strange video.. and apparently, this video that has been watched over 70 million times is celebrating it's one year anniversary.

The video is called Nyan Cat. It looks to be an animated gif that includes a Japanese pop tune combined into some strange looped animation. After extensive research, I have come to find out that the song is a remix of a Hatsune Miku song. This clip has comments like "this song is ear rape" and "My brain is hiding behind the sofa but the rest of me is boogying! :)"(Yup... read the comments yourself)

This clip was released one year ago and blew up to become one of YouTube's top 10 most-viewed videos of 2011. This weird video/song has appeared on comedy networks "Tosh.0" blog with Daniel Tosh making fun of it. There have been many re-created parodies, remixes and covers for this song. Believe it or not, but there's a 100 hour version of this song that has been released. (I guess some guy hated pressing the replay button) This 100 hour video has 6 million views.

Looking at the YouTube data, this video averages roughly around 1 million views per week over the past year.. That's impressive.

I'd like to meet the guy who thought of the idea to create a half cat, half toaster pastry flying into a rainbow space with a speed-up japanese song. Kudos to you sir.
Let me know what you think about this video..
