About

The "My Dingaling" Trap Remix, or "My Ding-a-Ling" Remix, is a remix song derived from a scene from The Simpsons in which a character sings a portion of "My Ding-a-Ling" by Dave Bartholomew on-stage during the school talent show before being forced off stage by Principal Skinner. The scene comes from season three, episode eight of The Simpsons and inspired a trap remix by DJ Suede in late 2015. Another remix of the song was popularized as an original sound on TikTok in November 2021. The DJ Suede remix gained further viral spread in August 2024, becoming the wider subject of memes on sites like X / Twitter.

Origin

"My Ding-A-Ling" is a song originally released by Dave Bartholomew in 1952 (shown below, left). It was famously covered by Chuck Berry in 1972 (shown below, right). The song's use of "ding-a-ling" refers to a bell, but makes use of a double-entendre, where it can also refer to a man's penis.

On November 7th, 1991, The Simpsons season three episode eight premiered, titled "Lisa's Pony." During the episode, a character with blue hair poorly sings a portion of "My Ding-a-Ling" during the school talent show and is quickly forced off-stage by Principal Skinner (shown below).
