Every Day Im Shufflin

Published August 19, 2026

Every Day I'm Shufflin' is a catchphrase pulled from LMFAO's 2011 dance-pop single Party Rock Anthem, tied to the loose Melbourne Shuffle footwork that the duo popularized worldwide. The line spawned a snowclone template, Everyday I'm X'in, that fueled image macros, GIFs, and YouTube parodies through 2011 and 2012.

Overview

Every Day I'm Shufflin' is a catchphrase lifted from the hook of Party Rock Anthem, the 2011 electro hip hop single by LMFAO that turned a niche rave footwork style into a mainstream dance fad1. The line itself riffs on Rick Ross' 2006 hustler anthem Hustlin', flipping the boast about grinding for money into a boast about grinding out the Party Rock shuffle2.

The phrase is inseparable from the accompanying video, which spawned reaction GIFs of the LMFAO dancers, image macros pairing the caption with any character mid-motion, and a snowclone template Everyday I'm X'in that swaps in a verb to fit the subject3. It stayed shorthand across music, ad copy, and internet jokes long after the song fell off the charts.

The dance behind the hook is a stripped-down take on the Melbourne Shuffle, a heel-and-toe footwork style that came out of the late-1980s underground rave scene in Melbourne, Australia3. LMFAO, the uncle-and-nephew duo of Redfoo and SkyBlu, released Party Rock Anthem as the lead single from their second album Sorry for Party Rocking on January 25th, 2011, and built its music video around dancers doing that shuffle4.

The official Party Rock Anthem video, styled as a parody of the 2002 horror film 28 Days Later in which a virus makes infected crowds shuffle on sight, was uploaded to YouTube on March 8th, 20115. It cleared 439 million views by May 2012 and pushed the Every Day I'm Shufflin' line into the wild3.

How It Spread

The song sat at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for six straight weeks, from July 16th to August 20th, 2011, before Katy Perry's Last Friday Night bumped it off the top6. LMFAO leaned into the catchphrase directly, launching an Every Day I'm Shufflin' t-shirt line through their Party Rock Clothing label in March 20117.

Meme adoption moved fast on image and GIF platforms. The first YTMND page titled Everyday I'm Shufflin' went up on April 15th, 2011, pairing the audio with a GIF from the 1960s Spider-Man cartoon8, and by July 31st, 2011 the term had its first Urban Dictionary entry9. On October 19th, 2011, Reddit user jiehae17 posted an Everyday I'm Dumblin' GIF of Harry Potter's Dumbledore dancing to r/funny, which cracked the front page with more than 2,000 upvotes and helped codify the Everyday I'm X'in snowclone3.

BuzzFeed compiled the template's growth in a November 9th, 2011 post titled The Evolution of the Everyday I'm Meme10. The video itself hit number 5 on the YouTube Music top 100 the week of November 29th, 2011 and later held YouTube's Gold Most Popular award3.

How to Use This Meme

The snowclone works by keeping Everyday I'm and swapping shufflin' for a gerund tied to the subject in the image or GIF, like Everyday I'm Dumblin' for Dumbledore or Everyday I'm Hustlin' as a nod back to the Rick Ross original3. Captions are typically overlaid on a looping GIF of the character mid-motion so the wordplay lines up with the movement2.
