In all possible universes, DJ Crazy Times and Ms. Biljana Electronica will find each other.
Like Planet of the Bass before it, Selekta has caused much debate among Vulture-ites.
about TikToks new favorite parody track.
Rebecca Alter:Since Kyle Gordon dropped this on TikTok, his rhymes have not left my head.
I stim to them.
I walk around my house going, Couldnt nick a hot pot pie off me nan.
Its a fabulously sticky lyric.
Its so dumb its fun.
Its like something Mrs. Lovett would sing before baking you into a dang pie!
Anne Victoria Clark:I would welcome my crusty death in that scenario.
R.A.:I grew up in Toronto, so white guys saying gwan was my entire teen years.
Immediately, Im just annoyed.
I dont mind songs that feature jokes, but this sort of general genre parody feels more reactionary.
In this instance, hes parodying music I actually like!
But in a way that makes me feel like hes never listened to it.
R.A.:Thats interesting, because this is a genre I know nothing about.
But I love a funny voice and a funny rhyme.
And these two songs have them in spades.
:I like when she says all through me Burberry.
What he does is so repetitive.
R.A.:So youre telling me you think Stab em in the biscuit / blood on me trainers?
Nah, cant risk it is NOT a good line to you?
Youre telling me I never knew your crew be doo-doo is NOT awesome?
:If someone stabbed my biscuit, I would go feral.
This song is awesome for babies like, I know several babies that would smile at the doo-doo part.
And thats not a bad thing!
But you know what is?
I just started a new antidepressant, and this is maxing out all of it.
R.A.:I dont think his parodies come from a place of hate.
Take the annoyingstomp-clap millennial song.
it’s crucial that you have listened to a LOT of fun.
to get that accurate.
He can make it that ridiculous because theres care there.
DJ Crazy Time is all love, no hate, baby.
Maybe its because I think some of the humor relies on everyone agreeing that these people talk funny.
R.A.:But, Anne, eventheythink they talk funny.
R.A.:Ohhh, right, okay.
I see what this is now!
You think a lot of British comedy is good, soofcourseyou hate this.
Im less cultured in this way.
A.V.C.:Yes!
We all like weird things.
R.A.:Selekta is the William Shakespeare of the modern age.
Shakespeare couldnt have written I never knew your crew be doo-doo.
:I have now listened to this song six times.
I hope I never hear it again unless someone is about to bake me into a meat pie.
R.A.:Theres only one way to settle this fight, obviously (rap battle).
:Blood on my trainers?
Nah, I cant risk it.
