Last January, a traveler to Yosemite had his mind blown while witnessing what is admittedly an epic double rainbow in the sky. By filming — with commentary — the natural wonder in front of him, he takes the viewer through a journey that has a full arc of its own. It might just cross your mind that other factors are in play (like, say, LSD … or, um, autoeroticism), but maybe he’s simply having a true spiritual experience. Really, really spiritual.
In any event, the appeal of the Double Rainbow video spread like wildfire and “It’s so intense … but what does it mean?!” became part of the popular Internet junkie vernacular. With over 11 million hits since it went up just seven months ago, it’s fair to call the nameless, faceless hiker a living legend.
But onto more important matters. In the world of viral video, no honor is so esteemed as earning the Auto-Tune treatment — Auto-Tune being the application that will turn a speaking voice into an electronic melody (also popular with hip-hop radio hits and singers who can’t seem to carry a tune). Just like with Antoine Dodson’s Auto-Tuned song, the Double Rainbow video was destined to be remixed, and like any good “meme” (an Internet sensation that takes on a life of its own like the Sad Keanu Reeves Meme) Double Rainbow keeps getting better with time … and tweaks. Check out the Double Rainbow remix below:
