On the same day, uploaded a screen recording to TikTok showing a comment string consisting of all the lyrics to "Chug Jug With You" in time with the song, garnering over 2.8 million views in 9 days (shown below, left). In the description they write, "made this one night after hearing this song and having a prophet like vision about it."Ī one-hour long version of the video was uploaded to YouTube on that day by doidinho da silva br, garnering over 72,000 views in the same span of time (shown below, right). On February 1st, Vasqueezy posted a lyric video for the song set to various images of Morgana from the Shin Megami Tensei video game series to YouTube, garnering over 7,000 views in a week (shown below, left). The original sound for the video, titled, "Chug jug with you," quickly grew in popularity, with over 40,000 videos attached to it in just over 2 weeks. On January 24th, 2021, uploaded an animated video to TikTok set to the song of a man walking through a large crowd which disperses as he approaches, captioned, "literally nobody: Fortnite kids irl:" garnering over 500,000 views in 2 weeks (shown below). Shortly after it was uploaded, 10 seconds of the video (from 00:08 to 00:18) were claimed by UMG, leaving a small gap in the YouTube upload. Many commenters make note of the song as being surprisingly good and shower it in positive praise both ironic and not (examples shown below). Listeners found the song comedic for its Fortnite-themed lyrics, the catchy beat, and the fact that the song is clearly sung by a young boy. You can take me to Moisty Mire but not Loot Lake Take me to your Xbox to play Fortnite today I revived him now we’re heading southbound Yeah, Fortnite, we 'bout get down (get down!) The song contains the same lyrics as CM Skits' earlier parody but adds additional lyrics around them to make a full song. On December 18th, Leviathan uploaded the song to YouTube (shown below) garnering over 1.8 million views in a comparable span of time. One of the most popular videos on the tag is this one, where Fairybloobs bops to the music and says, “I just know this kids mom is an English teacher bc this pronunciation is godly.” This video alone has over 4.8 million views - more than Leviathan’s original video on YouTube.On November 10th, 2018, Leviathan uploaded a parody of Estelle and Kanye West's "American Boy," inspired by CM SKITS' video, to SoundCloud, titled, "Chug Jug With You." The track gained over 350,000 plays and 1,400 likes in 2 years. It helps that Leviathan enunciates every word in a perfectly angelic voice. While that might sound annoying in theory, it’s actually adorable. The idea was to make himself sound even younger than 13. Many videos simply comment on how great of a singer Leviathan is - which is funny because, as Leviathan told Polygon over Discord, he intentionally made his voice sound high-pitched. The TikTok feed for the sound has a ton of videos of people lip synching and vibing to the song. People are taking the audio clip and adding their own goofy comments to the song, piggybacking onto the trend.

Leviathan, a content creator on YouTube, thought the video was funny, so he decided to write a longer version of the song CM Skits started. “Let’s Play Fortnite” is grating, with off-beat lyrics like “You can take me to Moisty Mire but not Loot Lake” and “We can be pro Fortnite gamers.” CM Skits’ video has just 90,000 views, but it caught the attention of a 13-year-old boy who goes by the name Leviathan. TikTok tune du jour “Chug Jug with You” has its origins in two other songs: disco funk hit “American Boy” by Estelle and Kanye West, and “Let’s Play Fortnite,” a 16-second parody by YouTuber CM Skits. Chug Jug might be vaulted in the video game, but that hasn’t stopped it from delighting millions of people on social media. Instead millions are listening to a squeaky, prepubescent voice singing about a Fortnite item that’s no longer in the game. The latest song to take over TikTok isn’t a pop hit or a fun remix.
