Mexico Viral 50: Indexed May 21, 2016 FEiN Facebook post (archivist proof: /evidence/fein-marry-you-mexico-viral-50.png): We passed Justin Timberlake and are now #2 on the Spotify Mexico Viral Charts! Christofi woooo!! Screenshot shows Christofi, FEiN — Marry You on the Dance Floor at #2 on Spotify's Mexico Viral 50, ahead of Justin Timberlake's CAN'T STOP THE FEELING! (#4) and Drake's One Dance (#10). Aligns with ReverbNation Blog (Jan 2017) citing FEiN near the top of Spotify Viral 50 US, Canada, and Mexico — here the Mexico slot is this Christofi collab, not #Grownupz.
A club-comedy marriage sprint: instant courtship (you're shining like a diamond / and I know how to mine) that outsources the sacrament to nightlife staff. The bouncer is a pastor, both families conveniently in attendance, the whole institution improvised between songs.
The joke is in how fast the romance collapses into farce. The honeymoon gets relocated to the restroom, and the punchline lands when the groom realizes he never caught the bride's name: hey, what's your name? / wait whats your name. Pairs with Roadtrip (genuflecting knee) and Lonely People (marriage as extraction), FEiN's institution satire in party clothes.
