The last two episodes of The Last Dance aired over the weekend and though the docuseries was a piece of event programming in and of itself, it spawned the internet’s next favorite meme — Michael Jordan dancing just a tad off-beat to a fresh new song from Kenny Lattimore. In fact, the disk Jordan was listening to at the time — during the 1998 NBA Playoffs — hadn’t been publicly released yet.

“In 1998 I sent Michael Jordan an advanced copy of my “From the Soul of Man” album,” Lattimore tweeted as the show premiered. “Who knew “Days Like This” was his pre-game hype song though.”

As you might expect from the internet at this time in the digital age, Twitter is having a blast using the clip with songs of their choosing. Keep scrolling to see some of the mashups:
