In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Dancing Alone to Pony” is a common card of the Memes World series 76, number 22571 of the collection, and the 70th best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Dancing Alone to Pony” meme mean?
The phrase describes videos of someone letting loose in front of a webcam, convinced nobody is watching, to a song from 1996. The humor comes from the gap between the intensity of the dancing and the plainness of the setting. People use it to describe a private dance session, to tease a friend who gets carried away by music only they can hear, or to caption their own awkward moves with a wink.
Where does the “Dancing Alone to Pony” meme come from?
“Pony” was Ginuwine's debut single, released on August 20, 1996. According to Know Your Meme, YouTuber jaystepss posted a solo dance to the track on May 2, 2006, and it drew little attention at the time. The fad took shape in March 2010, when California blogger Alex Martinez started a blog devoted entirely to cataloguing these clips. By June 2010 several US outlets, including The Huffington Post, had picked up the story and introduced the trend to a wider audience. On January 31, 2011, comedian Jim Tews uploaded a supercut of the best moments, which BuzzFeed and NY Magazine shared that February. The phrase has lingered as a Tumblr tag ever since.
