You probably saw the video above on one of your friend's Facebook pages last week.

The video of the Celtics fan dancing wildly to Bon Jovi's "Livin on a Prayer" was uploaded in 2009 but for some reason it went viral again.

Now it has helped Bon Jovi, as the song is back on the Billboard charts.

From Gawker:

"According to Billboard.com, Bon Jovi's 1987 #1 hit "Livin' on a Prayer" has landed at 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. It surged 390% last week thanks to the renewed popularity of a 2009 viral video of Celtics fan Jeremy Fry dancing to the song at Boston's TD Garden."

Wait, that song is 26 years old?

Holy moly, we're old. Great.
