Most of you probably know who Matt Harding is! For those who don’t, Matt is an internet celebrity, also known as Dancing Matt because he travels around the world and do his ‘silly’ dance in various countries. His videos are really inspiring (especially his second one) and his YouTube channel is ranked “#83 – Most Subscribed (All Time) – Directors” as of March 31, 2009.
It all started a few years ago, when Matt decided to record himself in the various countries he was traveling. In order to be more funny, he decided to do his ‘dance thing’ that he was known of, among his friends. When he uploaded this video on YouTube, with title “Where the hell is Matt?”, it became a smashing hit! (The song in the video is called Sweet Lullaby from Deep Forest)
After that, more and more people were visiting his website, http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/, asking him why he didn’t go to their countries yet! So Matt decided to organize these emails according to countries, and plan a new trip around the world, to countries he hadn’t visited. For each country, he was sending notifications to all those people who emailed him, to come together and dance with him. So, in 2008, after visiting 42 countries (!), he created his second (or maybe third, I’m not really sure!) video, with title “Where the hell is Matt (2008)???”.
I discovered his first video 4 years ago (if I recall correctly) and even though it made me smile, I felt sorry for myself, because I’m more like the following guy, stuck in one place!
I was really pissed that Matt was able to travel all over the world and have so much fun! But then I thought, “Ok, I know where Matt is…he is somewhere in the world do his stupid dance. But, where the hell is Matt’s girlfriend????“.
