Can a parody song top the charts?
BBCPlanet of the Bass: How a ridiculous Eurodance parody song became the most addictive song of the summer Kyle Gordon A TikTok comedy song parodying '90s dance bangers has become a global sensation. Discussing the character's backstory with GQ, Gordon said: "I would say he's of ambiguous Eastern European origin, and I would say he's a very hyper-sexualised, late-'90s Eurodance DJ and rapper." Gordon definitely owes the Danish band a debt: the way Ms Biljana Electronica's melodious vocals dovetail with DJ Crazy Times' macho raps echo the dynamics of Aqua members Lene Nystrøm and René Dif. Indeed, Gordon also told GQ he had a "hunch" that Aqua's signature hit Barbie Girl would enjoy a revival this summer because of Greta Gerwig's super-hyped Barbie movie, thereby paving the way for his own Eurodance riff.
