The lip-synching video -- complete with hilarious van choreography -- got more than 1.4 million views just 3 days after they’d posted it on YouTube. Once the team realized they’d gone viral, they immediately linked their video to Friends of Jaclyn, a charity that pairs children with brain tumors with high school and collegiate athletic teams.
