Origin
sad cat dance (meme)
A dance meme originating from post #5613805, based on an interpretation of a scene (post #4934981) in Chainsaw Man.
In chapters 85 and 86, Higashiyama Kobeni is working in a family restaurant when the Chainsaw Devil arrives. Through a combination of misunderstandings and clumsiness on Kobeni's part, the Chainsaw Devil proceeds to kill her customers and coworkers, then takes a crying Kobeni on a date, culminating in making her play Dance Dance Revolution while sobbing and getting a perfect score.
In the memetic format, one character hands cat costume items to another, then silently begs (to the point of kneeling so low they stand on their head) until the other puts them on and starts dancing, usually blushing and sobbing. The tune used in the memetic format is a portion of a sped-up version of the mashup tune Gypsy in My Mind by Never Dull that contains the remix of Gypsy Woman by Crystal Waters (hence 'Gypsy' in the title) and The Bomb! (These Sounds Fall into My Mind) by The Bucketheads, which in turn samples several opening bars and the line "Street sounds swirling through my mind..." (misheard as "These sounds fall into my mind") from Street Player by Chicago.
