On March 11, 2010 a video was posted on YouTube by the user PistolShrimps. The video begins with a black screen and white words that read, "Are you feeling down? Need something to cheer you up? Don't worry! Here's the cure!"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9upTLWRZTfw&has_verified=1&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fverify_age%3Fnext_url%3Dhttp%253A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%253Fv%253D9upTLWRZTfw The video, standing at 1:18 long, then begins with a montage of various pictures of womens' breasts, while Offenbach's popular cancan overture plays in the background.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9upTLWRZTfw&has_verified=1&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fverify_age%3Fnext_url%3Dhttp%253A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%253Fv%253D9upTLWRZTfw However, the music is overlaid with the words, "Boobies, boobies boobies boobies..." in syncopation with the instrumentals behind the images.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9upTLWRZTfw&has_verified=1&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fverify_age%3Fnext_url%3Dhttp%253A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%253Fv%253D9upTLWRZTfw

After about 24 seconds the text then re-appears on the screen saying, "Still feeling down? Don't worry! There's more!" The video then fades away from a still screen of a woman's cleavage and instantly goes into a fast-paced montage of kitten pictures, with the lyrics now being replaced with "kittens, kittens kittens kittens, kittens kittens kittens....". After a total of 43 seconds the video then begins displaying images of "kittens" and "boobies" together, with kittens laying on, between or around various womens' breasts.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9upTLWRZTfw&has_verified=1&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fverify_age%3Fnext_url%3Dhttp%253A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%253Fv%253D9upTLWRZTfw

The Boobies and Kittens creator used two popular YouTube videos of kittens for its montage pictures, paying credit to the original videos in the description on the page. The first video was titled Small Cute Kitten, which starts off by showing a small kitten emerging out of an empty Timberland workboot. The other video cited as inspiration was "Surprised Kitty (Original)", which was a viral video posted on October 13, 2009. The video, which shows a kitten opening and closing its arms in reaction to a person playing with its stomach. Although the video identified some of the kitten videos where they derived their images, PistolShrimps did not give credit to the sources of the video's cleavage pictures.

The song heard in the background of the Boobies and Kittens video is the galop infernal, a selection of music from Act II, Scene 2 of the operetta Orpheus in the Underworld.http://www.greatscores.com/p/song/songname/The_Can-Can/sheetmusic/1005332 The operetta was written by Jacques Offenbach and was first performed in 1858.http://www.greatscores.com/p/song/songname/The_Can-Can/sheetmusic/1005332 At the time of its first performance, the song was considered shocking and risque--a legacy which it continues as it is featured in this YouTube video.http://www.greatscores.com/p/song/songname/The_Can-Can/sheetmusic/1005332 Most people know this piece of music simply as the "cancan" song, though many composers have written music for cancan performances.http://www.lessontutor.com/bf_offenbach.htmlhttp://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/Mythology/OrpheusInTheUnderworld.html
