Denver's water department releases cringey Backstreet Boys parody video ... trends now
A Denver water department released a cringey Backstreet Boys parody video that featured tips for residents on how to limit water use during the summer.
A group of employees, also known as the 'Splashstreet Boys,' portrayed the famous 90s boy band and changed their 1999 hit 'I Want It That Way' to 'I Water That Way.'
The catchy choreographed video showed five members of the company's communications team, including Steve Snyder, Micky Boehm, Jimmy Luthye, Nathan Hayes and Jill Harclerode who sported drawn-on facial hair.
The crew were seen dancing, singing and wearing 90s inspired outfits as they showed how to properly water outdoors in the heat.
They were cheered on by a group of rowdy fans and were joined by a walking toilet that was portrayed by the company's manager Patrick McCoy.

As he sings his part, his band members dance around him as he says: 'Concrete just won't fly- So I say, I water that way!'
They then led into the iconic chorus of the song and listed the reasons 'why' people should only water their lawns at a certain time of the day.
Standing in front of a new background, each member, dressed in all white, dances around as they fade in and out like the original Backstreet Boys music video.
The video then shows one of the employees pouring water out of a watering can onto a lawn, just before he breaks out in a backflip. The lyrics start to slow down and the background goes dark.
