# "Miracles" "Miracles" is a 2010 Insane Clown Posse song whose sincere awe at nature curdled into internet ridicule the moment its music video hit YouTube. Shaggy 2 Dope's baffled question about magnets turned a Juggalo anthem into one of the most quoted ironic sing-alongs of the early 2010s. ## Origin Insane Clown Posse released "Miracles" as a single from their 2009 album Bang! Pow! Boom!, but the meme dates to the music video, which the group uploaded to YouTube on April 6, 2010[1]. In the clip the duo, in their signature face paint, wander through fields and cityscapes reciting the lyrics with wide-eyed conviction[1]. The verse that broke containment was Shaggy 2 Dope's aside about magnets, which arrived alongside the phrase "and I don't wanna talk to a scientist / Y'all motherfuckers lying and getting me pissed"[2]. That combination of childlike awe and open hostility to explanation is what forum readers seized on within hours of the upload. - **Platform:** YouTube (ICP release) / 4chan (viral spread) - **Creator:** Insane Clown Posse - **Date:** 2010 ## Overview "Miracles", also known as "Fucking Magnets, How Do They Work?", is a rap track by Detroit horrorcore duo Insane Clown Posse in which Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope list off things that fill them with wonder, from giraffes to rainbows to pyramids[1]. The line viewers latched onto came from Shaggy 2 Dope, who paused mid-verse to marvel that "fucking magnets, how do they work?" and to dismiss scientists as liars[2]. Online the song works less as music and more as a bottomless quote mine. People screencap the video's clown-painted close-ups, pair them with mock-scientific captions, and use the magnets line as a stock reply to anything that sounds like willful ignorance[2]. The tone is affectionate mockery rather than a takedown of ICP or their Juggalo fanbase, and the sincerity of the delivery is what keeps the joke reusable. ## How It Spread The video's spread was almost instant. On April 7, 2010, one day after the upload, comedian Aziz Ansari tweeted a link, saying the clip had lifted his spirits after a stressful week[3]. His post pushed "Miracles" out of music blogs and into the general comedy internet. 4chan users produced image macros pulled from the video's close-ups, stacking the magnets line over unrelated pictures and building COMBO threads around the funnier freeze-frames[2]. Violent J later addressed the wave of jokes directly, telling fans he was fine with people laughing at the song as long as they were watching it[2]. The YouTube upload passed 17 million views by April 2017, keeping the clip in circulation long after the initial 2010 rush[1]. The magnets line kept a second life as a shorthand catchphrase, dropped into replies whenever someone posts a genuine question about how a common object works, and the song became a fixture of "unironic vs. ironic fandom" arguments about ICP[2]. ## How to Use The common convention is to quote "fucking magnets, how do they work?" as a self-aware reply to any everyday science question, or to caption a still from the video with a mock-earnest observation about nature. Image macros typically use the wide-eyed clown-paint close-ups of Violent J or Shaggy 2 Dope with white Impact-style text stating something obvious as if it were profound. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is "Miracles"?
