Michelle Obama and Ellen DeGeneres dance to ‘Uptown Funk’
Move over Michelle Pfeiffer. The actress may be name-dropped in the hit song “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, but Michelle Obama is the one who made the dance moves from the music video come alive on a March episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The First Lady’s appearance marked the fifth anniversary of her “Let’s Move” campaign to raise awareness about active, healthy living and combat obesity in the United States.

That’s the nickname for a 9-second video of a bin full of honking rubber ducks (though some say geese) that make a horrifying, wailing sound when Norwegian mechanic Kevin Synnes presses down on them all at once. A Vine user aggregated a version of it that has been played on loop more than 134 million times and sparked memes like spoofs of SpongeBob SquarePants and Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep.” Naturally, Mythbusters host Adam Savage became obsessed with the squeaky toy and wrapped about 10 of them in a plywood case, an invention billed as a “duck bomb.”
