Backyardigans song trend origin explored
This is one of those things that “only 90’s kids would know” except the show was aired from 2004 to 2013. So only 20’s kids would know this and because there are a lot of users from that generation, this song was an instant hit on TikTok.
Merlysha Pierre (@swagsurfff) is a 19-year-old TikTok user who was making videos about this children’s cartoon and how not many of the people would even know this song. Apparently, a lot of them do know it and love it to the core.
The theme song is called “Castaways” and it inspired a lot of people to make TikTok content. Users also listened to it a lot because it ended up at the no. 1 position on Spotify’s global viral chart.
She has been posting content related to this show in a series called “Send this to the uncultured” and there are 18 parts of this series out so far.
Merlysha received 5.5 million views and 1.7 million likes for her Part 7 of the series which went viral. You can check out the video below that started this trend on 12th May 2021.
Castaways lyrics
Castaways, we are castaways, ahoy there, ahoy, we are castaways
We’re stuck where we are with no house, no car, castaways, ahoy, we are castaways
We were out at sea on a sailing ship
The rain began to rain and the wind began to whip
We felt the ship tip, it was going down
So we launched our lifeboat so we wouldn’t drown
Castaways, we are castaways, ahoy there, ahoy, we are castaways, on an island at sea
Just me
Me
And me!
Castaways, ahoy, we are castaways
In our little rubber boat, we floated all night
Till we landed on a shore in the morning light
On a lovely little island where it’s just us three
And the sun and the sand and the sky and the sea
Now we’re castaways, we are castaways, ahoy there, ahoy, we are castaways
Not a cup or a dish, eating seaweed and fish, castaways, ahoy, we are castaways
Castaways, we are castaways, ahoy there, ahoy, we are castaways on an island at sea
Just me
Me
And me
Castaways ahoy, we are castaways
