No mortal person can rightfully predict what clip or image will feature the perfect mixture of pieces to become the next popular meme. Twitter's most recent obsession, featuring a One Direction deep-cut, is certainly strange, but undeniably hilarious.
The newest meme being shared around Twitter shows three people dancing in perfect sync to what sounds like a sea-shanty, but is actually the beginning of One Direction's "Act My Age" from 2014.
It's just as bizarre as you'd expect:

Hopefully One Direction sees this meme and realizes the world needs them to come together for a reunion, playing exclusively this song while these three dancers come out on stage and perform their hearts out.
Is that too much to hope for?
