A Fortnite song from 2018 is currently going viral on the TikTok platform. There are countless created videos that are accompanied by this song, and even retirees are being motivated to dance to it.
What song is this? This Fortnite song is a parody of the song “American Boy”. The original version of the parody was released in 2018 under the name “Let’s play Fortnite!!!”, but with 85,000 views, the song did not receive much attention worldwide (via YouTube).
A player named Leviathan then created a modified version of the Fortnite parody: “Chug Jug with you“. This song is about Fortnite with friends and how they “get Victory Royales and cleared Tomato Town”. On SoundCloud, this version of the parody has now reached over 450,000 plays. Now, three years later, the song is also going viral on TikTok.
It is not uncommon for a Fortnite song to go viral on TikTok. These two platforms have often connected, and there are also TikTok dances that are available as emotes in Fortnite.
Fortnite Song on TikTok the Hit
This is how the Fortnite song spreads on TikTok: The Fortnite parody “Chug Jug with you” seems to be celebrating a comeback on the TikTok platform. Approximately 118,000 videos have already been created for this song (via TikTok) and the hashtag #chugjugwithyou has reached 6.5 million views on the platform.
The videos are varied, some simply enjoy the melody and do a little dance, while others incorporate clips from Fortnite. However, the song seems to appeal not only to the younger generation, as even grandparents are happily dancing to it:
Some get very creative on the platform and showcase their pets, who supposedly play Fortnite and “sing” the song. For instance, you see a guinea pig sitting with an Xbox controller in front of the TV, “singing” the Fortnite song. Is it perhaps waiting for the Fortnite squad?
Song Popular Not Just Among Fortnite Players: The parody seems to resonate not only with players who know Fortnite. There are also people saying, “I’ve never played Fortnite, but I’ve been listening to this song all day.” The melody seems to be generally infectious, and surely many more funny videos will arise on TikTok.
It would be funny if Fortnite itself would show some of the clips of the Fortnite parody. Even if they are not shown, you still get a chance to participate in a film festival with “Short Nite”, where a few famous short films will soon be shown. How to participate in the film festival has been summarized in a guide for you.
