I hate this song, but I've become obsessed with watching videos of groups of people lip synching and dancing to it. 

What can I say – I'm easily amused.

Good on the Big 10 for getting its mascots involved. But I'm left wondering – why does it look like Bucky Badger and the video guy had to break into Camp Randall to do this?

Love the running man on the Capitol steps, though.
