‘Cars That Go Boom’ has made a comeback, thanks to TikTok. The ’80s duo L’Trimm says it’s ‘surreal.’
Though the song is a classic, it’s not one you might expect to hear too often in 2020. Yet a YouTube video of it uploaded in May has already racked up more than 2.7 million views.
The reason, as is so often the case these days, is TikTok — the short-form video app that has become one of the largest social media platforms in the world. A trend emerged last month among Gen Zers of dancing or lip-syncing to the song, probably because of its infectious beat. It now soundtracks nearly 2.5 million TikToks, including one made by Charli D’Amelio, the platform’s most popular creator, who dances to the song for her audience of three dogs.
“I have 29 nieces and nephews, so I was getting a couple of calls or texts a day. It’s just the cutest thing,” Bunny D said.
“It’s been a pretty crazy experience,” added Lady Tigra. “It’s nice to be part of people dancing together and sharing music cross-generationally. Especially when quarantine can be so boring and so depressing for so many people.”
