Remember this kid?

That was 1992.

This is that “kid” today. His name is Michael Clancy. And he’s a lawyer in Arizona.

The folks at HyperVocal interviewed Michael.

HV: As of right now, the video which was uploaded about a week ago now has more than 400,000 views on YouTube. What’s it like being thrust in the center of the Internet’s gravity? The video has really resonated in Internet culture!

MC: Frankly, I’m still in denial that it’s actually happening. In fact, it doesn’t feel like it’s really me in the video since it happened eons ago. I tell people that all the time. It’s as if I’m watching some ungrounded kid try with all his heart to do something he likes but has no clue what a fool he’s making of himself. That said, it’s funny as heck on so many levels. I’m enjoying the attention it’s brought to not only me but to DC Talk and memories of the way people used to dress and dance in 1992 — at least I think.

HV: Do you know how the video got uploaded to YouTube? Was it a friend or family member?

MC: I was notified by my friend Jordan via Facebook that he saw a video that he thought was me. This was when the video only had 74,000 views. After I had a minor freak out, I contacted the user who posted it, “conradcliff” and told him who I was. I didn’t know him. We exchanged emails and he told me his uncle, who is an executive with CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) had sent him the video thinking it was him as a boy. When he saw it, he “just knew it would go viral.” He was right. READ THE WHOLE INTERVIEW HERE…

Viral “fame” is so weird, isn’t it?
