Remember the PPAP song back in early September? [wpdevart_youtube]PfJl4LGIlL4[/wpdevart_youtube]
The unusual, weird, viral song that only had 8 unique words, yet gained over 100 million views on YouTube?
Well now there’s another one!!!
Like the original PPAP video, this one features the fictional character, DJ Piko-Taro, who is played by Japanese entertainer Kazuhiko Kosaka.
The original PPAP video was created long ago, but Justin Bieber’s calling it his “favorite video on the internet” caused it to skyrocket in popularity.
Originally, the PPAP man sang: “I have a pen, I have an apple, Apple-Pen! I have a pen, I have pineapple, Pineapple-Pen!”
However, this music video has an extremely innovative twist on the lyrics.
This time, the lyrics are: “I have a pen, I have a pen, Long-Pen! I have an apple, I have pineapple, Apple-Pineapple!”
This display of rephrasing the same lyrics shows the true genius in Kosaka’s style.
Even better, both videos manage to end up at the same place: Penn-Pineapple-Apple-Pen!
The original PPAP, along with its sequel, has truly been one of the greatest videos this year, inspiring countless memes and spreading happiness and mirth across the internet.
