About

Cinema is a 2011 house song performed by Italian DJ and record producer Marco Benassi, better known by his stage name Benny Benassi featuring vocals from British singer Gary Go. The song, usually Skrillex's dubstep remix, is used most often in humorous YouTube videos and usually at the climax of most montage parodies, where the song is right about to drop the bass.

Origin

The song was originally released on March 8, 2011 as the fourth single off of his fourth studio album Electroman. On March 28, 2011, electronic music label Ultra Music uploaded the official music video of the song to their YouTube channel[1], acquiring 8 million views and 36,000 likes. (shown below)

Reception

After the song's original release, Review-Fi[2] praised the song for having catchy lyrics and being sung in soprano, claiming the song itself was "overly addicting". However, they said that this couldn't be said for all the remixes of the song, including Skrillex's. The last sentence exclaimed, "If you're going to get any of them[remixes], get Benassi's."

Spread

On June 9, 2011, American electronic dance music producer, DJ, and singer-songwriter Sonny John Moore, best known by his stage name Skrillex, remixed the song and uploaded it onto YouTube[3], gaining 8 million views and almost 60,000 likes as of December 2014. (shown below)

In September 2011, YouTuber Sqrillex (a play on the word "Skrillex") uploaded another variation of the tune[4], gaining 58 million views and knocking in 310,000 likes. (shown below)

The earliest known video parodying the song was a montage of YouTuber MrPredatorzHD playing Call of Duty 4 uploaded only days after Sqrillex's upload of the song; MrPredatorzHD's video[5] got 5,000 views and only 68 likes as of December 2014. (shown below)
