We all won this fantasy football bet.

Sia’s hit single “Chandelier” wasn’t just one of the summer’s biggest pop anthems, it was a pop culture phenomenon. The bizarre art-house music video for the track, featuring Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler, has racked up an astounding 350 million hits on YouTube, inspiring interpretations by everyone from Lena Dunham to Star Wars fans. Even Jimmy Kimmel donned a flesh leotard and attempted to flail around in a platinum wig.

But none of those homages could come close to topping the performance Chuck Jose gave after losing a fantasy football bet. While the terms of the bet are unclear, all that matters is that Jose ponied up and wriggled himself into a leotard, some hosiery, and a blond bob. 

He isn’t as flexible or graceful as Ziegler, but the spirit of his performance shines just as bright. 

Let this be a lesson to you kids: Don’t write fantasy football checks your ass can’t cash with dance moves.
