Japanese comedian and the new song by DJ Kosaka Daimou may soon be circulating around the world through people around the world (笑 – lol). Some people are even predicting that the song could surpass the mega-hit on YouTube “Gangnam Style” by South Korean artist Psy. Although I find it hard…
We do not know the current status of this viral as you read this post… But it is amazing how a video of just 1 minute, with lyrics that make absolutely no sense, has gone viral so quickly.
Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen Video
You can watch the music video in the video above. But be warned, from the moment you hear the song, it will not leave your head and it may keep playing in your head unconsciously for days and days.
The song is performed by “DJ Piko-Taro,” a character created by Kosaka Daimou (40 years old), 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 completely ridiculous outfit, not to mention the scarf.
The video has already been viewed more than 53 million times on the comedian’s official channel, not to mention that 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 featured the hit, managed to accumulate over 25 million views.
We have already seen several parodies and images shared online. Even Apple’s Siri Assistant joined the fun, just say this 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.
