Wow, this is the first time I'm actually listening to the whole thing. That's it?!

i posted this on the king khan & the bbq thread a few weeks ago but their song "love you so" is incredibly popular on tiktok right now and i'm not sure why. it's not tied to any particular theme or meme, people just use it as background music for everything

This one is actually a good song imo

i knew king khan & the bbq but not that song and i doubt that most tiktok users know of the band. the song has been used in 7.3 million tiktoks so far.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 1 April 2022 16:45 (three years ago)

huh the music video for "take me to church" was directed by brendan canty?

man alive the sample is from the Shangri-Las’ “Remember (Walking In The Sand)”

that video you posted is a loop from Capone’s “Streets Favorite” which sped up the Shangri-Las:

kind of sounds like if Eminem tried to recreate the same effect as Meek Mill's Dreams and Nightmares

What are you guys, a bunch of fucking teenagers?

Mr. Snrub, Friday, 1 April 2022 18:05 (three years ago)

I really like the whole SALES album a lot

brimstead, Friday, 1 April 2022 18:11 (three years ago)

king khan song was my first thought for sure, especially since that song hasn’t really translated into off-tiktok success (like that “astronaut in the ocean” song unfortunately did)

this one is pretty great - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka_lJGRGPs8

Saxophone Of Futility (Michael B), Saturday, 2 April 2022 09:00 (three years ago)

good song, yes.

there’s a whole massive category of mashups and remixes, like twerkulator x p.y.t. and the toxic pony one that’s going around right now

If TikTok has made 90s shoegaze bands bigger than ever and led to new showgaze bands; has TikTok also done the same with other genres (any article or data or shared anecdotes about this) -- asking for a friend who's old and not on TikTok much

curmudgeon, Friday, 7 June 2024 20:52 (one year ago)

you know what I mean re other genres and tiktok ?

curmudgeon, Sunday, 9 June 2024 15:55 (one year ago)

been hearing Aphex Twin's QKThr quite a lot of late, which is really very odd
