What does the “Dança do Créu: Speed Five” meme mean?

The meme uses “speed five” to describe the peak of excitement, confusion or chaos in any situation, far beyond the original dance. The more intense or out of control a moment gets, the more “speed five” it is.

Where does the “Dança do Créu: Speed Five” meme come from?

MC Créu, the stage name of Sérgio Costa, released “Dança do Créu” in early 2008; the idea reportedly came from his young son, who kept repeating the word “créu” after every sentence his father said in the studio. The song, with the line “I'm here to tell you there are five speeds”, describes a dance that gets faster and more intense at each stage. The first major press mention came from the newspaper O Globo on January 28, 2008, which called the track that summer's new craze. The funk track exploded during that year's Carnival, fueled by homemade choreography videos on YouTube and Orkut, and the record label sold 100,000 ringtone downloads in the first two weeks of March alone.
