Daddy Yankee recently spawned a hit with the Justin Bieber-featuring remix of Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" — but it's his 2004 smash "Gasolina" that's been stealing the spotlight, thanks to a viral video of Radiohead's Thom Yorke dancing to the old tune.
 
As it turns out, even Daddy Yankee himself has seen the mesmerizing clip, and he's responded to it in a new interview with Rolling Stone.
 
"When I saw the video, I was like, 'Is that real?!'" he said. "It was a great video, even though I thought it was real."
 
Daddy Yankee went on to add that he is, in fact, a fan of Yorke's other work. "I have a ton of respect for Radiohead," he said. "They're a great, amazing band."
 
The "Gasolina" clip isn't the first instance of Yorke's unique dance skills getting manipulated into a meme, though. Back in 2011, a crafty fan mashed up Yorke's dance from the "Lotus Flower" video to the tune of Beyoncé's "Single Ladies."
 
Relive the recent "Gasolina" video down below. Fans hoping to catch Yorke's smooth moves in person can find Radiohead's upcoming live dates over here.
