Will Be Huge: Hadouken! – “M.A.D.” in “100 Greatest Hits of YouTube”

Hadouken! (as in, the Street Fighter move AKA down-down/right-right-A) is an electronica group out of Leeds, U.K.  They’ve been together for a few years and have charted modestly in their home country.  They hail, sort of, from the “grime” genre, which is kind of a fast-paced, high-beats-per-minute, minor-key type of what you’d broadly call techno music.  Kind of like The Prodigy.  Remember “Smack My B*tch Up”?  We all had fun with that one.  We’ll like this one too, then.

Hadouken!’s big breakthrough may come in the form of a viral video.  Their single “M.A.D.“ was tapped as the soundtrack for “100 Greatest Hits of YouTube in 4 Minutes,” which is itself poised to become a great hit of YouTube, as it has a million and a half views.  (In two years we’ll be all the way down the rabbit hole with “100 Greatest ’100 Greatest Hits of YouTube’ of YouTube,” set to the tune of Modulate’s “Skullf*ck“.)

Anyway, this is a HOT DANCE PARTY SONG that is POSSIBLY ABOUT BEATING FOOLS UP.  The viral video is good.  The music video is also good in a way that only men dressed in animal costumes fighting each other can be.  Both, after the jump.

Thanks to Rich, who had a dream of this exact music video, except it was camels instead of mice.
