It’s been a few days since anyone shook themselves up over the Harlem Shake, so we’re clearly desperately in need of something new to go inexplicably viral.
So enter Andrew Finklestein, Google employee and self-proclaimed hippity-hopper. His “Welcome to Google” rap, hesitantly embedded below, explains once and for all how grand it is to toil around the Googleplex. It’s a good-faith try, I guess, but I’ll echo the words of the best non-explicit comment offered on YouTube: “I love Google products & I’m a big rap fan, but the two just don’t belong together. Unless I’m buying an album on Google Play store, don’t ever mix them again.”Â
See, the thing is, the pinnacle for this sort of rap was reached long ago. In 2008, an employee of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, who shall forever be known and honored as AlpineKat, gave us all the nerd-job-rapping we will ever need. She even threw in a bit of rhyming enlightenment on cutting-edge particle physics. Seven million viewers can’t be wrong, so check it out:
