The clip shows the friends copying the dance moves of those seen in the video which has achieved such fame that a man flew 10,000 miles from Australia to visit while TV and radio celebrity Rylan Clark-Neal also shared the clip with fans.
The strange footage, which first surfaced four years ago, has been viewed millions of times on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter and shows a string of colourful characters dancing to music at traditional bar.
The 23-second clip begins with a blonde-haired woman, clutching a bottle and shaking their head and bottom to the music as the camera focuses on them.

The action then cuts to a man dressed in a green woollen hat, donkey jacket and jeans, marching solider-like to the music with a blank expression while the clip concludes with a little person wandering across the dancefloor.
The clip was originally posted on Twitter in 2017 by Football Away Days with the message: "Coach and Horses in Doncaster. Definitely calling in here next time I'm there on an away day," complete with four "crying with laughter" emojis.

The footage was originally filmed by Di Marshall who said: “I was out with some friends and thankfully went in there.
“It’s the most hilarious day we’ve had. I find it quite amazing so many people think my video is as funny as we did.”
