For me, I really like corn! What do you like about corn?
It's corn! A big lump with knobs. It has the juice (It has the juice)
I can't imagine a more beautiful thing (Woo). It's corn
I can tell you all about it. I mean, look at this thing
For me, I really like corn! What do you like about corn?
It's corn! A big lump with knobs. It has the juice (It has the juice)
I can't imagine a more beautiful thing (Woo). It's corn
I can tell you all about it. I mean, look at this thing
When I tried it with butter, everything changed
[Verse 1: Tariq with Michael Gregory]
Well, the best thing about corn is the grease
The corn break can restore your energy
You really appreciate the hard work when you love something
If you or anyone loves corn, if you come to me, I can tеll you all about it
If I was surrounded by corn, I would eat all of it
Grow big and strong
Look at this, take a lump with thе knob
Spread butter on
Boil and toast it with the grease
Butter spreads out the good taste
I just saw corn as disgusting, but everything changed
[Chorus: Tariq & Michael Gregory, Michael Gregory]
It's corn
A big lump with knobs
It has the juice (It has the juice)
I can't imagine a more beautiful thing (Woo)
It's corn
I can tell you all about it
I mean, look at this thing
When I tried it with butter, everything changed
[Verse 2: Tariq, Julian Shapiro-Barnum & Michael Gregory]
I hope you have a corntastic day
A corntastic day?
What? it's just a pun about corn, okay? (Woo)
It's corn
When it's like negative in the world
Take the corn break, corn break
Take the corn break
[Bridge: Tariq with Julian Shapiro-Barnum, Julian Shapiro-Barnum]
Corn dance
Mm, corn
Ippety, bibbly, dibbly-bop, corn dance
Mm
Anything else you wanna say about corn before we go? Yeah
What?
[Chorus: Tariq & Michael Gregory, Michael Gregory]
It's corn
A big lump with knobs
It has the juice (It has the juice)
I can't imagine a more beautiful thing (Woo)
It's corn
I can tell you all about it
I mean, look at this thing
When I tried it with butter, everything changed
It's corn
A big lump with knobs
It has the juice (It has the juice)
I can't imagine a more beautiful thing (Woo)
It's corn
I can tell you all about it
I mean, look at this thing
When I tried it with butter, everything changed
[Outro: Tariq]
It's corn
You know TikTok often produces viral trends with unknown songs and weird combinations with videos. One of the last trending videos on the social network is what people identified as the “corn song”: in the original video, you can see a young boy who, in an interview, happily says how much he loves corn. The song came out after a musician used the interview snippets as inspiration to create an anthem that “unites the world.” In this article, we will discover more about it.
You can find the original corn song here on Tiktok, reused thousands of times by video creators.
what do you like about corn?
it’s corn!
a big lump with knobs
it has the juice
i can’t imagine a more beautiful thing
it’s corn
i can tell you all about it
i mean
look at this thing
but when i tried it with butter
everything changed
I mean, look at this thing.
When I tried it with butter everything changed.”
The Corn Song craze
The TikTok account @Schmoyoho turned the interview into a song by adding background music and singing. Previously, the account created the viral meme song ‘Chrissy Wake Up.’ People began using the audio to describe their favourite things in life, such as food, workouts, and cars, after the song went viral.
Meet Tariq, The Trend’s Little Boy
It all started when Julian Shapiro-Barnum spoke to a young boy named Tariq who was eating a corncob. He asked the boy what he liked best, and he replied, “I really like corn!”
When asked what he liked best about corn, Tariq responded, “Ever since I was told it was real, it tasted good!” Then I tried it with butter, and everything changed! It’s fantastic. People couldn’t stop smiling while watching the video because of the boy’s pure responses.
Julian then asked Tariq if everyone should eat corn, to which he replied, “No, it doesn’t have to be liked by everyone to be the best.” You simply have to give it a shot. Enjoy a bite! Look at this guy. I can’t think of anything more lovely. It’s made of corn!”
When asked to describe the vegetable to someone, Tariq replied, “An enormous lump with knobs… and it has juice”. When asked how much the food costs, he replied, “One dollar.” I wish you a corn-mastic day!”
In the video, Tariq memorably stated his love of corn began when he “was told that corn was real.” And he added that when he “tried it with butter, everything changed!”
Tariq went on to wax poetically about corn, including how “it has the juice,” the part that “mostly makes [him] like the corn.” You can watch the whole video here if you’re interested in smiling for 1 minute and 35 seconds straight.
Once you’re caught up (or you’ve rewatched it for the dozenth time), make your way over to Spotify or Apple Music to stream “It’s Corn” by The Gregory Brothers, Tariq, and Recess Therapy, which dropped on Aug. 28. For the full effect, you can watch the music video featuring clips from Tariq’s two interviews about, yes, corn, on the schmoyoho YouTube channel. (Tariq’s second Recess Therapy interview includes a corn dance that can’t be missed.)
If you’ve not ventured fully into the world of Tariq’s love of corn, you’ve definitely missed some kernels from the CEO of Corn himself (what, it’s just a pun about corn, OK?). Worry not, Tariq’s advice about taking a corn break and how “butter spreads out the good taste” make their way into the official “It’s Corn” tune, the proceeds of which are being split with Tariq and his family, according an Aug. 29 Instagram post from Recess Therapy.
Ending summer with the sweetest viral video and starting fall with a fresh bop about corn — as Tariq says, “I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing!”
