Billboard takes a look back at when the left shark from Katy Perry's 2015 Super Bowl performance went viral and turned into a huge internet meme.
Transcript
00:00 We heard her roar.
00:02 And fireworks lit the sky.
00:06 But we'll give you one guess at which part cemented Katy Perry's Super Bowl halftime show into our minds forever.
00:13 We take you to that moment in this week's Pop Culture Rewind.
00:17 It was Super Bowl XLIX, and while the Patriots were battling the Seahawks, Katy Perry was on top of her game.
00:28 For her Pepsi halftime show, she arrived in a big way on a tiger and ran through all her hits like "I Kissed a Girl" with Lenny Kravitz
00:35 and "California Girls."
00:39 And she even invited Missy Elliott, who also went through her epic catalog.
00:46 But it was during "Teenage Dream" when one of her two backup dancing Sharks lived his best life.
00:54 So much so, everybody named him Left Shark and the memes and Halloween costumes were born.
00:59 The guy behind the Shark later said he just forgot the choreo. Iconic.
01:04 We'll have another huge moment for you next week in our Pop Culture Rewind.
