What Does This Mean?
Spanish name of the viral video known in English as "Obey the Walrus": a short, heavily distorted clip of a tap dance set to a warped nursery song, widely regarded as unsettling and surrounded by urban legends.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Back in school we dared each other to watch "obedece a la morsa" at night."
LORE & ORIGIN
Know Your Meme states the clip comes from the 1998 film The Goddess Bunny, a documentary about a drag performer, and that it was uploaded to eBaum's World on 3 July 2006. Spanish-language outlets give conflicting dates for the original footage and place the video's wave of popularity around 2007. The effects added to the clip fed rumors that it carried a hidden message or a curse, and it circulated on creepypasta sites and forums and in reaction videos. Those claims are folklore; the performer in the footage was a real person and is not the subject of the legend.
