‘More passion more energy’ video

The original ‘more passion more energy’ clip is a British homeless man dancing along to a remix of the song Faded by ZHU in the street at night.

Behind the camera, a guy is cheering him on, shouting: “Go go go go. Oi oi oi oi. More energy, more energy, more power. Bloody hell mate.”

“More passion, more passion. Let me see that footwork, footwork,” he continues as the man carries on the funny dance moves.

It was posted by a TikTok user with the handle @gorillatime00 in July and went viral, quickly racking up more than a million likes.

Meet Billy the Quid

The homeless man, who is wearing a shirt, jeans, coat and flat cap, is known as Billy the Quid and has become an internet sensation.

He is a well-known beggar in Chatham, Kent, whose real name is Sukhvender Singh Deo. The homeless man earned the name for asking people to give him �1.

Billy was jailed for 120 days in 2015 for chasing people and demanding cash. He breached an Anti-social behaviour order (Asbo) he had been given for begging in the street.

He then escaped a sentence in 2018 after being caught supplying Class A drugs to undercover police officers in Medway.

“On this occasion, I am going to give you a chance to show you can put your life in order,” Judge Adele Williams said.

Following the success of the first video, the TikTok user has continued filming videos of him and racked up more than 115,000 followers doing so.

A snippet of the audio that says “more passion more energy more footwork” has taken over TikTok with videos of animals and kids dancing.

Watch this chicken take on the challenge:

Replying to @Andrea Powell 🤣🤣🤣 *Chicken is a survivor of neglect and abuse. Before I adopted her, she spent a long life locked inside of a cage in a dark basement. The anxiety and depression associated with that caused her to pluck herself for many years. I don’t know the exact details of what happened to her in the past but I know it was bad and that she had at least 2 untreated breaks in her leg. I can’t say for certain if she will get any feathers back but we don’t think she will because of the extensive follicle damage from years of plucking. These days Chicken lives a very happy life and she is healing from her traumas both physically and emotionally. Slowly she is learning to trust people who aren’t me and is becoming more secure in her new happy life. My family and I consider ourselves lucky to get to be her forever flock and love her to pieces!
