"Party Rock Anthem"
Song

"Party Rock Anthem" is a song performed by American electro hop recording duo LMFAO, it features vocals from Lauren Bennett and GoonRock. It was released as the first single from their second album Sorry for Party Rocking in 2011. The single has gone to number one in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, France and the United Kingdom. It also reached top ten in Canada, United States and Norway.

Music video

The music video, choreographed by Quest Crew members Hokuto Konishi, Victor Kim, Ryan Conferido, and Ryan Feng, is a parody of the 2002 film 28 Days Later. The opening caption explains that Redfoo and Skyblu both fell into a coma due to "excessive party rocking", and that their single was released the following day. Following the caption "28 DAYS LATER", both Redfoo and Skyblu are seen in a deserted hospital, waking up from their coma in a style similar to that of Cillian Murphy's character in the original film. The director Mickey Finnegan states that "The concept of the video, there's been an epidemic, the world has gone crazy, as soon as the song came out, everyone got possessed and all they want to do is to shuffle, everyone is a shuffler."

They exit the hospital to a deserted street, full of litter and abandoned cars. They then spot a man shuffling to the song on his mp3 player (Which resembles an iPhone with an image that says "Beat Rock" when he clicked on the app), before they are quickly grabbed by a man in a dress-shirt (played by Malcolm Goodwin), who hides them behind a car and explains to them that since the single came out, everyone across the world simply "shuffles" all day long and then hands them the Beats by Dr. Dre earphones. Soon, the street is filled with "shufflers", including label mate, Colette Carr, all dancing to the song. When another young man tries to escape from a building, he is approached by the dancers and subsequently "infected", as he begins to dance too where his clothes are changed from a hoodie to a "Hi Mom!" T-Shirt.

Redfoo and Skyblu both insert earpieces, and are told to play along. Scared after watching what happened to the other young man, they begin to dance along with the others, pretending to be infected too. The rest of the video is filled with shots of the dancers and LMFAO performing complex choreography along the deserted street, interspersed with shots of LMFAO, Lauren Bennett and GoonRock at night time, singing in front of a car in an alley. Halfway through the video, the previously uninfected young man dances towards Redfoo and Skyblu, who look terrified. In the next shot, it appears that they have been infected too, as they sing "Every day I'm shuffling", and begin to dance with the rest of the infected. The video features product placement with Skyblu picking up a bottle of Fentimans Cherry Tree Cola (4:21).

The video finishes with the caption and voice-over "Every day I'm shufflin".

The dance was originally known as the 'Melbourne Shuffle' after its birthplace in Melbourne, Australia.

The video features Quest Crew, winners of America's Best Dance Crew season 3.
