In 1987, Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” topped the Billboard charts for four consecutive weeks. Then in 2009, Jeremy Fry did an epic dance to it while the Boston Celtics blared it during a break at a home game. The dance was then uploaded to YouTube four years ago and since then has been watched more than 5 million times.
Then on October 17th of this year, a user named Jose Duran re-uploaded the clip to his own YouTube channel, adding the title “One Man Dances Like Nobody’s Watching While Everyone Is — He’ll Crack You Up!”. And in one month, that newly uploaded video has been watched more than 12 million times and has been Liked on Facebook more than 1.7 million times! 😎
This renewed interest has landed “Livin’ on a Prayer” at the number 25 spot of the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
