Song of the Day 8/23: Songify This ft. Tariq, “It’s Corn”

One of the best things about summer in Delaware is something we take for granted. Yeah, I’m talking about sweet corn. So was Tariq when a YouTuber interviewed him for a channel called Recess Therapy a couple of years ago. The kid is so adorable talking about corn he went viral.

When YouTube was young, like 13 years ago, a viral bit of video was a good bet to spawn a Songify This treatment. The Gregory brothers took found video, usually from news reports, and edited them into original tunes they wrote. They were all the rage at the time – their Bed Intruder song from 2011 has 156 million views. They’ll always have a place in my playlist for their songified version of the Christine O’Donnell “I’m Not a Witch” ad.

Though I haven’t heard of them in years, they’re apparently still at it, and even managed to get 38 million views for their remix of Tariq’s ode to corn.

Here’s the original interview with Tariq the Gregory brothers set to music.
