Japanese comedian and the new song by DJ Kosaka Daimou may soon be circulating around the world through people around the globe (笑 - haha). Some people are even predicting that the song may surpass the mega-hit on YouTube "Gangnam Style" by South Korean artist Psy. Although I find it hard...
We don't know the current status of this viral when reading this post... But it's amazing how a video of just 1 minute, with lyrics that make absolutely no sense went viral so quickly.

Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen video
You can watch the video of the song in the video above. But be warned, once you hear the song, it won't get out of your head and it can be playing in your head unconsciously in your head for days and days.
The song is performed by “Dj Piko-Taro”, a character that was created by Kosaka Daimou (age 40) during his live shows. “Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen” has all the elements of a viral hit: catchy melody, nonsensical lyrics, and a man in a totally clueless outfit, not to mention the scarf.
The video has already been viewed over 53 million times on the comedian's official channel, not to mention it has also been featured on several other channels. For example, just one channel called 9GAG , which was just one of the many channels that announced the hit, managed to accumulate over 25 million views.
We have had several parodies and images shared online. Even Apple's Siri Assistant joined the fun; just say that to her and she will sing a song related to Apple products.

Do you think this short song can really surpass PSY's hit? Not in views, but in our heads... Or more importantly: Will we ever be able to get this hit out of our heads? Anyway... Only time will tell.
