Best April Fools’ EVER… YouTube adds Darude Sandstorm button to every single video

Enjoy this while you can

Oisin Collins

We’re not sure the lads in YouTube understand the concept of April Fools’ Day.

To be fair to YouTube, more specifically Google, they tend not to ‘prank’ people on April Fools’ Day and instead opt to add a bit of creativity to their various platforms.

Yesterday we featured the news that Google Maps allows you to play Pac-Man on various Irish streets, so it looks as though today’s Darude Sandstorm is simply following suit with Pac-Man for Maps.

Hit play on the explainer video by YouTube user Deividas Gedgaudas below and you’ll see what we mean…

We had a gander at the official YouTube blog to see if they had anything to say and this is what we can across…

“Seriously, what song is this? Anyone know song name?

“Goes like: “Duuuuuuuuuuuuun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dundun dun dundundun dun dun dun dun dun dun dundun dundun BOOM dundun dundun dundun BEEP dun dun dun dun dun dun dun BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BOOOP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BOOM FADE?”

“nm, got it.

“The YouTube Team.”

Their ‘got it’ links out to the official Darude Sandstorm video.

Safe to say this is the best damn April Fools’ Day ‘prank’ we’ve ever seen.

Here’s to hoping the Sandstorm button sticks around for longer than 24-hours.
