WTF: Shaquille O'Neal's Cameo In Owl City's 'Vanilla Twilight' Video

Seems like it was only yesterday we watched Adam Young, aka Owl City, chilling in his bedroom alone, messing around with some keys and synths and making electro-pop goodness in the form of his video for "Fireflies." Now dude's gone big time.

In Owl City's new clip for "Vanilla Twilight," taken from the album Ocean Eyes, Young is still hunched over a keyboard, but that's about all that remains from his humble beginnings. "Vanilla Twilight" features a cast of, well, dozens, all experiencing some kind of epiphany as they stare up to the sky.

Featured in that cast of dozens, and acting as a kind of symbol for Owl City's phenomenal success, is Shaquille O'Neal. I'm going to write that out again, just to make sure I'm not crazy. Shaquille O'Neal is in the Owl City video. Yeah, it doesn't look any more normal the second time, either.

Shaq, along with a collection of assorted citizens, gazes at a gorgeous natural light show taking place in the heavens. Is it northern lights? God? Aliens? Probably not aliens. But it is ambiguous! As is the reason behind why the Cavs' starting center is in this video!
