"Single Ladies"

What is it about this ditty that can take a seemingly masculine gay who's driven to conceal his homosexuality and turn him into a gyrating Shane Mercado? I'm spellbound by the phenomenon. If you search "Single Ladies" on YouTube you'll find pages of people just fervent to take their crack at the illustrious video. Shameless mothers post their children, "Big Girls" do their rendition (not very well), young gays in every country, gangsters, dads, grandparents... It's madness! I'm half expecting to erupt into my own routine in the midst of a haircut today at work. I haven't seen people this exited about anything since, geez, I don't know when...

I'll post some of my favorites:
