Where the Hell is Matt? is an Internet phenomenon that features a video of Dancing Matt (Matt Harding) doing a dance "jig" in many different places around the world in 2005. The video garnered popularity on the video sharing site YouTube. There are now five major videos plus two outtakes and several background videos on YouTube. Matt dances alone in the first videos. In 2008 others join with him doing the dance "jig"; in 2010 he does the Diski Dance in South Africa. In 2012 he works with other dancers, sometimes using a local dance or another dance step.
While working in Australia for Activision on the project All Humans Must Die, Harding claimed that: "My life had become this rhythmic migration from bubble to bubble. You wake up in your apartment bubble, you get in your car bubble, you go to your work bubble, you get in your car, and then you go to you know, whatever, the outdoor shopping plaza bubble, back in your car bubble, back in your apartment bubble. There wasn’t a lot of exposure to the outside world … it’s really insulating." Quitting his job he traveled the world from 2003-2004, known by his friends for a particular dance, and while video recording each other in Vietnam in May 2003, his travel companions suggested he add the dance. The videos were uploaded to his website for friends and family to enjoy. After completing a second journey to Africa in 2004, Harding edited together 15 dance scenes, all with him center frame, with the background music "Sweet Lullaby" by Deep Forest. The original song uses samples from a dying Solomon Islands language which was recorded in 1971 by a French ethnomusicologist at the Solomon Islands near Papua New Guinea. The song, "Rorogwela" was sung by a young woman named Afunakwa. According to the video "Where the Hell is Afunakwa" by Matt Harding, Afunakwa died in 1998.

I got the chance to dance with Matt Harding for his new 2016 Where the Hell (or heck) is Matt video! Here's a 'behind the scenes' of what goes into the making of his videos. Matt, along with Elan, stopped by 3 locations in London on 13th March 2016 to film for his new video (due to be released October). I found Matt's videos back when I was 12 years old in 2006 and have been following ever since. When I found out he's be dancing in London, I didn't hesitate in taking the 3 hour Journey to dance with him! :D FYI, I asked Matt if it was okay to vlog my experience and he said he was happy for me to do so :) Matt's Channel: http://www.youtube.com/mattharding2718 'Where the Heck is Matt?'

Google Tech Talks August, 18 2008 ABSTRACT Matt dances badly on the internet and he is quasi-famous for it. Want to learn more about traveling the world, getting someone else to pay for it, bad dancing, and becoming a YouTube sensation? Come hear Matt talk about his adventures or read/see more at www.wherethehellismatt.com. Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo. Speaker: Matt Harding Matt lives in Seattle, Washington with his girlfriend, Melissa, and dog, Sydney. He hasn't had a real job since Stride called him up. Matt doesn't mind working, but he doesn't much care for having to show up at the same place every day. Matt is not rich. Matt also doesn't have some magical secret for traveling cheaply. He does it pretty much the same way everybody else does. ...

Matt Harding, Where the Hell is Matt? 5 Ways to Leverage Mobile Brand Analytics Something Something...Paradigm A decade ago, Matt Harding made a goofy internet video when that wasn't really a thing yet. He milked the idea into a corporate chewing gum sponsorship, and then kept milking it into years spent traveling the world, 90 million YouTube views, and endorsements with Visa, Google, and Hotels.com. Somewhere along the way, it became a career.

He will come like a whisper
Like a thief in the night
With everything you do
And everything you say
You dig yourself a hole
You make a bed to lay
And with your newfound name
You still remain the same
Still laying endless blame
Cuts will leave scars
And some of them will never heal
I am content with this
I never forgot to feel
Please believe this scene
The writing’s on the wall
For all to see
And I can’t show you
Living for the dream
My little hell this is
Being what you see
And hiding everything
I’m burning so it’s hard to breathe
Just give it all to me
Will you bleed for me
Bleed the soul we’ve given in
My enigmatic vision
Pushes me through the dream
Reminding myself
Things aren’t always what they seem
I can’t stand here
Watching you destroy everything we built
I believe I can see
What you want me to be
I’m not that
Please believe this scene
The writing’s on the wall
For all to see
And I can’t show you
Living for the dream
My little hell this is
Being what you see
And hiding everything
I’m burning so it’s hard to breathe
Just give it all to me
Will you bleed for me
Bleed the soul we’ve given in
Growing up now in this tragic world
Another war began, another flag unfurled
Trying to see past the darkness saturating it all
Will we have to be here to witness it all fall
Will we have to be here to witness it all fall
Will we have to be here to witness it all fall
Will we have to be here to witness it all fall
Will we have to be here to witness it all fall
What’s wrong with
This world we bought into
Just trying to live through
Plastic lives pass us by
But we cry just to try
To reach out
Break through, get to
A place of enlightenment
Far from the darkening
As it goes
We grow cold
We grow old
All as one
We’re dying
Living for the dream
My little hell this is
Being what you see
And hiding everything
I’m burning so it’s hard to breathe
Just give it all to me
Will you bleed for me
