The 'Dame Tu Cosita' meme originates from a 2018 music video for the song by Panamanian artist El Chombo (Rodney Sebastian Clark Donalds), which was a remix of his 1997 original. The video features a slender green CGI alien, later dubbed Artie 5, created and animated by Artush Akopyan. In the clip, the alien performs a fluid, rhythmic, and slightly uncanny dance sequence to the reggaeton beat. The animation quickly became a global sensation, spawning the 'Dame Tu Cosita Challenge' on platforms like Musical.ly and TikTok. Digitally, this clip represents high energy, surreal humor, and moments of goofy celebration. It is often used to depict someone feeling themselves or acting weird in a public setting. Example captions include: 'Me at 3 AM in the kitchen,' 'When the direct deposit hits,' and 'How I think I look on the dance floor.'
