The internet used to scream in agony every time you woke it.
We should have listened
And there was a creepy 3D dancing baby

Too many pixels in the screensaver version, more like: https://youtu.be/-5x5OXfe9KY
Did that originate on Ally McBiel or was that a thing prior that was adopted by the show?
No, it was from 3DS max studio.
It was one of the first viral videos, I remember getting it via email from my father's friend (on the family's email account before Hotmail)
Since it was a max file people started modifying the dancing steps so there were many variations and it became very popular to the point that it appeared in Ally Mcbeal
Sometimes it was busy and you'd have to phone back.
Eventually it gave in to the horror and now suffers in silence.
Yeah it was all Mechanicus style.
