Technoviking

You gotta love how the people on the web will find something funny then twist it to make it even more funny or twisted or whatever - way after it originally happened. Tonight I ran across a series of 'Techno Viking" videos. Here is the original version.

I did a bit of poking around on the internet and this footage is apparently from the Berlin "Fuckparade" in 2000 (check wikipedia and everything2). One video comment claims to have quoted the following from wikipedia:

A man known as "Techno Viking," a German shopkeep named Hans Shlepkopper led the demonstration through the streets of Berlin and is video taped while performing a complicated series of techno dance moves.

Here are some other versions ("Techno Viking does not dance to music, but music dances to Techno Viking"):

Beat It
Technoviking Drama
Ghostbusters
Technoviking Peanut Butter Jelly
Technoviking Friends
Technoviking Pirate
Technoviking does the Hustle
Technoviking WoW
They're taking the hobbits to Isengard
Technoviking bakes a cake
Right Said Technoviking
Let the dream come true
What happened to Technoviking

This one is my favourite version by far (0:30 is where it gets fun)
