The song blew up after teeny-boppers Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Ashley Tisdale donned mustaches and danced around to it on YouTube in February. And they couldn’t have picked a better song to dance to. More than 21 million people agree—or at least cared enough to watch the video.

 

The 26-year-old Canadian singer has seen her song top the charts in Canada, United Kingdom, and Ireland, and it’s quickly rising in the United States. But, not only does she have a global appeal, but as we discovered, she also has fraternal appeal.

No matter, they’re chugging it down like its a Bud Light during happy hour.

We collected our five favorite remixes and parodies of bros getting down with it.
