Drake's 'Hotline Bling' Video Invades Sports Social Media
If you took a moment to observe social media today, you saw it everywhere: Vines, GIFs and videos of Drake displaying his finest shower dancing in his new "Hotline Bling" music video.
And if you know anything about Drake, the Internet or Internet People, you know that this one will be around for a while.
The video is 100 percent organic Drake goofery, and it's being memed into orbit as we speak. Rest assured, no matter how hard you try to avoid it, you will see Aubrey Graham hip-thrusting and stroking an invisible unicorn in your dreams tonight:
Everyone is getting in on the meme-ry for this one. So far, we have a couple of remixes from the sports world worth considering.
The Miami Heat kicked things off Tuesday by mixing "The Heat is On" by Glenn Frey over Drake's mariachi moves.
The Detroit Pistons followed suit with "Hotline Blake"—an ode to Steve Blake, the least Drake-ish human being in the NBA.
And then we had The Starters' Trey Kerby with this little gem, which I can't even be mad about:
I imagine it's only a matter of time until Frank Kaminsky films his own linguini-limbed "Hotline Frank" video, at which point the Internet should fold up shop and take a long, holiday weekend.
It'd probably be for the best.
Dan is on Twitter. And that's enough Internet for one day.
