Q: Back in late 2018, CM Skits’ “American Boy Fortnite Parody” video dropped a few months before your version.
Eventually, I started writing parody lyrics in calls with my friends which is where that side of things began. That got around 500,000 views, which was my first big video and that was pretty exciting. I eventually made a video called “Do Ya Thing Without Music,” which was a Gorillaz music video I had edited to replace the music with Foley sound effects and such. I was getting a few thousand views or so on each of the videos. Q: So would you tell us a little more about your background and who you are? How’d you get into making parody music and when did you start your YouTube channel?Ī: So I think I started my channel in 2015 but didn’t upload much until around 2017 when I was making theory videos on a mobile game called My Singing Monsters. There’s one in specific as of recent that’s sort of getting a little big right now. Let’s start off with a quick intro about who you are and what you’re known for.Ī: Hey! I’m Leviathan and I made a few popular Fortnite parodies that have made their rounds on the internet lately, you might know them. Q: Welcome and thanks for joining us, Leviathan. Now that it’s racked up over 10 million views, become a TikTok trend, meme format via Tomato Town Massacre and more, here’s what Leviathan himself had to say about it all. We caught up with Leviathan earlier this week to find out more about how he created the song, where the inspiration came from, and how he’s been handling the influx of attention online since it swept the internet in recent weeks.
The song in question, of course, is none other than “Chug Jug With You.” If you haven’t heard it yet, we’re sorry for getting it stuck in your head. By now, most have heard this infamous Fortnite parody that, despite being sung by a squeaker, is an incredibly catchy earworm. T just 13 years old, YouTuber Leviathan uploaded a parody song to his channel in 2018 featuring Estelle’s Grammy-nominated “American Boy.” For years, it sat in relative obscurity before exploding this year and giving life to a multitude of meme formats and viral trends.
