Artist Blanco Brown hit the music scene with his song, The Git Up, which has been described as a “viral country rap song.” The light-hearted, country song is basically instructions on how to do The Git Up dance. Think Achey Breaky Heart meets The Cha Cha Slide. Apparently, the song became an instant hit with a tiny tot named Mickey. The boy’s aunt, Jolene Taylor, filmed the little guy performing his own version of The Git Up dance.

In no time, the video raked in millions of views and thousands of shares. Watching this precious toddler do The Git Up dance brightened the day of strangers all over the world.
