I thought it was really funny though and it was popular in my friend group, so I decided to make a full song out of it with my friends. I know it was pretty popular on Instagram and such, so I might have seen it there. How did his earlier iteration inspire you to create your song and where/when did you first see it?Ī: I believe it was just making its rounds on the internet at the time. 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. Multiple users made meme clips on TikTok and YouTube of the song, which had both the clips and the original video grow in popularity, with other creators publishing edited versions of the song on YouTube.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. He then uploaded it to his channel on December 18, which garnered over 30 million views as of 2023. Leviathan uploaded the song to his SoundCloud on November 10, 2018, which gained over 300,000 plays and 1,400 likes. On April 13, 2022, Leviathan came out as bisexual. After he got burnt out of Fortnite song parodys, he announced that he is no longer making Music due for him cant do parodies anymore but he can still do it and has moved onto Gaming by collaborating with fellow Youtubers Purpled, BoomerNA, Wallibear and Luke. He then made more parodies, then eventually creating remixes of his parodies. Leviathan created his channel on December 2, 2015, then created his first music parody on December 18, 2018.
