There have been way too many movies in The Portal that used copyrighted music,
It's time that this gets fixed, and we start realizing that there is so much awesome music in The Audio Portal that is just as good, if not better!
If you are just willing to listen to it!
What is an animation meme?
Why yes, I do like Sploot, how could you tell?
@ZaneLittle is also there. NOT BECAUSE I WAS TOO LAZY TO MOVE HIM AWAY!

You MUST link the song you have used in your Author Comments, or Credits & Info.
Try to use a song that no one else has tried to make an animation meme with!
Use your own original characters!
Your animation MUST use music from The Newgrounds Audio Portal.
The Licensing Terms MUST grant permission to do so, or ask the creator for permission.

Newgrounds Wiki: Royalty Free Music has alternatives for Sad Cat Dance and Caramelldansen, perhaps there's an opportunity for more good alternatives to be added there. Hint, hint, giving NG musicians some ideas.
My music and a lot of music I have worked are royalty-free.
