Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" record seems like just another anthem for women getting over a bad breakup.

The lyrics attack a jealous ex-boyfriend who can't accept that she has moved on and is now getting the attention of other men. His jealousy annoys her because he had his chance.

So Beyonce quips, "If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it," throwing the drama back in his face.

While a concept video documenting the dirty details of a failed relationship would have been the obvious companion piece for the song, Beyonce had dancing on her mind.

Inspired by choreography of the late Broadway producer Bob Fosse, Beyonce wanted to make a dance video shot in one continuous take.

The choreography, two background dancers, her single-sleeved leotard and Michael Jackson-esque titanium glove are her only props.

Again, Beyonce scores a #1 hit and gives her females fans a new anthem. She additionally ignites a viral sensation that prompts hundreds of interpretations.

Single ladies aren't the only ones redoing the video. There are also takes from men and kids, parodies, response songs and animations.
