Learn how the veteran Dance duo gave the Internet-breaking cat a solid four-on-the-floor rendition.
Dutch DJ duo W&W have been around for decades. They’ve had their fair share of notable releases as NWYR, and also broke the Internet almost eleven years ago with their Big room hit, ‘Bigfoot’. This time, the pair are looking to make headlines again with the release of ‘OIIA OIIA (Spinning Cat)‘, an energetic track with its centre on the renowned meme of the spinning cat, the “OIIA Cat“.
This famous feline, affectionately known as Ethel, has captured hearts worldwide with its quirky green-screen antics. Chances are, if your algorithm has learnt the brainrot ways and applied them to your socials, you’ve encountered memes and flips on the OIIA Cat phenomenon. And therefore, this track may make you laugh — and then make you stay.
During their New Year’s Eve show, W&W debuted a track dedicated to Ethel, with the appropriate spinning cat visuals on giant screens. Long story short — it went viral. The video amassed over 85 million views in just 48 hours, with many praising the fun, lighthearted nature of the piece, and joining the meme train.
But this song is not only fun gags and such, and the boys have managed to enjoy the release of ‘OIIA OIIA (Spinning Cat)’ with a heartfelt cause. Proceeds from the song will benefit Ethel and her care, with a portion also donated to the Cat Welfare Association in Ohio, the shelter that rescued her. If this isn’t a good description of the EDM community, I don’t know what is.
