Music video
Background
The music video was released on March 8, 2011[7] and was produced by the two members of LMFAO, Redfoo and Sky Blu, with the assistance of Shinzu Ai. It was choreographed by, and featured, Quest Crew members Hokuto Konishi, Victor Kim, Ryan Conferido, Steve Terada, Aris Paracuelles, Brian Hirano and Ryan Feng. The video is a parody of the 2002 horror film 28 Days Later. Lauren Bennett, featured in the song, also appeared in the music video. Director Mickey Finnegan described the concept: "There's been an epidemic, the world has gone crazy, as soon as the song came out, everyone got possessed and all they want to do is to shuffle, everyone is a shuffler." The video features the dancers performing the Melbourne Shuffle, which quickly gained popularity in the United States.
Video
This music video takes place after the events of Sorry for Party Rocking, the previous song by the duo. This video's opening caption says Redfoo and Sky Blu fell into a coma due to excessive party rocking and that their single was released the next day. After the caption "28 DAYS LATER" is seen, Redfoo and Sky Blu are shown in a deserted hospital, waking up from their coma in a style similar to that of Cillian Murphy's character in the original film. Redfoo and Sky Blu exit the hospital into a deserted street full of litter and abandoned cars. They spot a man "shuffling" to their own song before they are quickly grabbed by another man in a dress-shirt (Malcolm Goodwin), a parody of Louis from Left 4 Dead and Shaun from Shaun of the Dead, who hides them behind a car and explains to them that ever since their single came out, everyone around the world simply "shuffles" all day long. Mid-conversation, the song begins to play in the street, and the man quickly hands Redfoo and Sky Blu some Beats by Dr. Dre earphones for the purpose of muting the song. Redfoo and Sky Blu insert the earpieces and are told to play along with the song. Soon, the street is filled with "shufflers", including label mate Colette Carr, all dancing to the song. When another young man, sporting an Atlanta Braves cap, tries to escape from a building, he is surrounded by the dancers in a style indicative of a zombie mob, before re-emerging with new clothes and shuffling, having been "infected".
Frightened after observing the fate of the other man, Redfoo and Sky Blu begin to dance along with the others, pretending to be infected, too. After the line "No lead in our zeppelin", the shot cuts directly to the front of the hospital (which appears similar to the cover of Led Zeppelin's 1975 album Physical Graffiti. This is a nod to the English rock band, whom the duo has cited as being a personal influence). Halfway through the video, the previously infected young man dances towards Redfoo and Sky Blu, who look terrified. The video fades to black, but quickly opens to a new shot, in which it becomes apparent that they, too, have become infected, as they sing "Every day I'm shufflin" and dance with the rest of the infected dancers for the remainder of the video, which finishes with the caption and interpolation, "Every day I'm shufflin".
Filming location
The outdoor scenes of the music video were filmed at Warner Brothers Studios "New York Street" backlot,[8] a five-acre site containing the facades of buildings on individual 'streets', recreating eight different areas of the city.[9]
Awards
The video won the "Best Video" award at the 7th annual edition of the TRL Awards.
Chart and sales performance
The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the duo's first number one hit in the US; it remained there for six consecutive weeks.[10] The song spent 68 weeks in the chart, which at the time was the third-highest number of weeks in the chart for a song in Billboard Hot 100's history.[11] It topped the seven million downloads mark in the United States in July 2012, becoming the second-fastest song in digital history to reach this plateau – reaching it in 68 weeks, just behind Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" which achieved it in 67 weeks – and the third-biggest selling digital single since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital sales in 2003.[12][13] It has sold 8.1 million copies in the US as of October 2016[14] and over one million copies in the UK.[15] It is the US's third all-time best-selling digital single.[14]
The song spent eleven weeks at number one in New Zealand and ten weeks in Australia. In New Zealand, it is the longest-running number one single since Smashproof's hit single "Brother" in 2009, with over 45,000 copies sold. In Australia, it is the longest-running number-one single since "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)" by Sandi Thom in 2006, and was the best-selling single of 2011. Certified fifteen-times platinum, it is the biggest-selling single of all time in Australia, surpassing Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997".
