OVERLORD ANIME MEMES SERIES
At the peak of the meme's popularity, it was even featured in the animated series Phineas and Ferb. Caramelldansen was commonly performed at conventions, and different record labels across the globe released their own versions of the original song. It also joined the zeitgeist of other anime derived dance memes, such as the intro and outro songs for Lucky Star and Haruhi Suzumiya, as well as the Caipirinha and Parparra Dance memes. The original video was edited to involve characters from various other franchises, such as Azumangah Daioh, Lucky Star and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Its popularity quickly spread from Japan to the West. It was also known in Japan as the "Uma Uma Dance," referencing both misheard lyrics from the Swedish song and the Numa Numa meme. By 2007, the original video had become quite popular in Japan, especially through the video-sharing website Nico Nico Douga.
They danced to a sped-up, high-pitched version of the song "Caramelldansen" from defunct Swedish pop group Supergott. Featuring Mai and Mii, two characters from the series Popotan, the meme involved a repetitive flash animation of the two swinging their hips and clasping their hands over their heads to imitate the ears of bunny rabbits. Though it wouldn't gain its immense traction until later in the decade, the meme first began life in the early 2000s.
