YouTube's contribution to April Fools' Day is a joy to behold

THE FUN NEVER ENDS.

YOU MIGHT BE growing weary of April Fools’ Day pranks, but we promise you that YouTube’s contribution is worth your time.

In honour of the day that’s in it, the site has added a feature that allows you to play little snippets from the 1999 dance classic Sandstorm.
