Two TikTokers just dropped a seriously European dance song called "Planet of the Bass" that has everyone on TikTok, Tumblr and Twitter singing, "Life, it never die. Women are my favorite guy."

Despite sounding nonsensical, the lyrics fit perfectly into the well-played parody that TikToker Kyle Gordon created under his pseudonym DJ Crazy Times and alongside his blonde, female sidekick, Ms. Biljana Electronica. The internet is still debating on whether or not their song is "every European dance song in the 1990s" like it proclaims.

Have you heard this interesting "bop" yet? Has it taken over your timeline? For many, it has. Let's explain why it's so viral and where it came from.

What Is 'Planet Of The Bass?'

"Planet of the Bass" is a parody song that went viral this week when it was posted to Twitter and to TikTok by its creator, a man named Kyle Gordon, also known by his username @kylegordonisgreat. The song parodied "every European dance song in the 1990s," using electronic rhythms and grammatically incorrect lyrics that read as badly spoken English.

Kyle Gordon and his female counterpart even gave themselves alter-egos, namely, DJ Crazy Times and Ms. Biljana Electronica. Inherently, these names spoofed the monikers of specifically 90s-era pop stars.

Soon after the video went viral on social media, it earned viral reactions and memes. Many people quote retweeted the video, attesting that it was one of the greatest videos they'd seen all year. It seemed to have a universally comedic effect.

Put your hands up in the air!
All of the dream,

On the Planet of the…

Bass!
Life, it never die.
Women are my favorite guy.

Boom! Hear the bass go zoom.
Have a body, feel the groove.
Cyber system overload,
Everybody movement!
