Earlier this month, Erynn, a 27-year-old elementary school teacher from Charlotte, shared this TikTok of her singing a little jingle on her porch. The song, which I personally think should be the official song of the summer, calls out people for using skewed "statistics" to justify police brutality and racism. Have a listen for yourself:
When asked about her inspiration for the song, Erynn told BuzzFeed, "Another TikTok creator named Onlinekyne had recently made a video breaking down the mathematical elements of the statistics people use to justify racism, and I was just inspired by it and sung a little ditty on my porch. I never imagined it would blow up!"
Aside from gaining more than 1.7 million views on TikTok, many other creators have started dueting and covering Erin's song, and the results are fantastic! Case in point: this barbershop quartet cover by Alex Engelberg...
And this production edit of the barbershop quartet...
And this lovely harp rendition...
This pole dancing routine choreographed to said harp rendition...
And Erynn's personal favorite, this sax cover done on a hoverboard!
And trust me, there are TONS more wonderful versions out there.
