This shovel falling to the tune of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is oddly spectacular

No, Dave Grohl had nothing to do with this one.
Everybody likes a dopey ‘just cuz’ vid – but sometimes the Meme Gods get together over Hades-boiled brussel sprouts (or whatever Gods eat for brunch) and decide to bless us mere mortals with some absolute perfection. Then they send a muse to whisper into some keyboard cadet’s ear, “Hey, wouldn’t it be funny if… ?” In this case: “Hey, does the sound of that shovel falling remind you of anything?” The result – 10 seconds of inexplicably satisfying idiocy.
1990s alternative rock and inanimate objects haven’t teamed up this perfectly since Blur’s “Song 2” and this random squeaky gate.
