Just shows ... viral can be an unpredictable beast!
I never would have guessed that the gorilla would generate such a huge following ... what is wrong with these people?

I must be a child of the 80s 'cause you could put a Phil Collins tune to a cat taking a nap and it'd make me happy.
That said, I absolutely love the Smirnoff vid and have played it countless times as well as forwarded it around - so that gets my vote.
