YouTube Made a Custom Progress Bar for Nyan Cat

According to the recently acquired online database of internet culture Know Your Meme , Nyan Cat (aka Pop Tar Cat) is an “8-bit animation depicting a cat with the body of a cherry pop tart flying through outer space.” On April 5, 2011, YouTuber saraj00n took an animated version of the cat flying through a starry background leaving rainbows in its wake and set it to the song Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya (which kinda sounds like the Meow Mix theme song on amphetamines). Obviously, the video’s currently up to 17 million views. Give it a look: I don’t get it either! But did you notice something particularly interesting about the clip above? Check out the progress bar. It’s a Nyan Cat leaving a rainbow in its wake ! Pretty cool, right? YouTube...
