There's a video that's in the beginning stages of viral – and it won't be too long before it becomes a fully fledged meme.
The reason for the viral is partially because the video is very funny, partially because it's very odd.
An Indonesian woman dances in heels and a short skirt, on butter, to Adele's Someone Like You.
Just watch the video.
Confused?
Melati Suryodarmo is a performance artist. In the original piece, she dances for 20 minutes on 20 blocks of butter in a square on a black carpet to Indonesian shamanistic drums. When a YouTuber got hold of the clip, he replaced the original music with Adele, and so a meme was born.
Here she is, dancing to Skrillex. It's not quite as poignant though.
