Will we ever figure out the secret behind [black holes?](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%5Fhole%5F%28networking%29) What’s with the [Markovian Parallax Denigrate?](http://www.dailydot.com/society/markovian-parallax-denigrate-spam-mystery/) One other mystery that no one seems to be able to crack? What makes a video go viral? Take for example this mashup of Nelly’s “Getting Hot in Here” with The Bee Gee’s _Saturday Night Fever_ classic, “Stayin’ Alive.” The video, appropriately called “Stayin’ Hot,” was created in 2011 by LobsterMashups and while the Internet usually revolves on a steady diet of the latest and greatest, yesterday the mashup sat on Reddit’s front page all day and is still near the top today, even though the video is _so_ three years ago. If we’re engaging in Internet archaeology, check out this video mashing up the same track from The Bee Gees with AC/DC’s “Back in Black.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3602086/nelly-the-bee-gees-mashup-stayin-hot/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3602086/nelly-the-bee-gees-mashup-stayin-hot/"},"headline":"Here's the Nelly-Bee Gees Mashup You Never Asked For But Can’t Stop Listening To","datePublished":"2014-11-24T16:39:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:47.157Z","description":"It's stayin' hot in here.","url":"https://time.com/3602086/nelly-the-bee-gees-mashup-stayin-hot/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","viral","Videos","Music videos","Viral Videos","mashups"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5c91db4379afcc21/69876a8c0b72e314076dc1e1/screen-shot-2014-11-24-at-11-36-15-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5c91db4379afcc21/69876a8c0b72e314076dc1e1/screen-shot-2014-11-24-at-11-36-15-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-11-24 at 11.36.15 AM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3602086/nelly-the-bee-gees-mashup-stayin-hot/","name":"Here's the Nelly-Bee Gees Mashup You Never Asked For But Can’t Stop Listening To"}}]}] ```
