Move over ‘Padam Padam’, this Europop dance track is going viral on TikTok & we can’t stop rewatching
Troye Sivan and take a break, Kylie –– there’s a new Song of the Summer taking over the internet.It’s “Planet of the Bass,” an anthemic and throbbing Europop dance track, complete with a horny male rap, a captivating (if not slightly off-key) female lead vocalist, and non-stop commands to party.The bop is basically everything we loved about the ’90s dance music.
It’s a certified viral hit already, and the full version isn’t even hitting streaming services until August 15.Oh yeah, and it’s also a total joke.pic.twitter.com/7YgIXlIgagThe song is the brainchild of New York comedian Kyle Gordon, though he’s now better known to certain circles of the internet as his character DJ Crazy Times.
His female counterpart, Ms. Biljana Electronica, is played by actress Audrey Trullinger.To say Gordon understood the assignment would be an understatement.
The duo’s performance is both hilarious and true to form. The track’s lyrics are decidedly off kilter, like you threw a bunch of inspirational lingo into Google Translate and called it a day: “All of the dream / How does it mean / When the rhythm is glad / There is nothing to be sad.” But the real zingers come when Gordon’s character drops a verse: “Sex, I’m watching more / Tell the world, ‘Stop the war.'” Mostly importantly, the production is top notch, with unstoppable drums, disembodied backing vocals, and uplifting synths.
