Okay, inhaltlich und musikalisch ist das hier wirklich eine ganz schwierige Nummer. Aber es ist eben auch erstaunlich, wie gut es vom Tempo her passt.
Genau das war auch die Motivation von YouTuber LOTI, der hier den Pop-Hit „Call Me Maybe“ von Carly Rae Jepsen mit Childish Gambino’s eindringlichem Song „This Is America“ vermischt. Die Originalversion von „This Is America“ könnt ihr euch hier anschauen.

„I just want to make this clear, my intentions weren’t to be disrespectful to the message of the song. There’s some very messed up things going on in America right now, racism wise. There’s no denying it.
This is just a shitpost that spiraled out of control. I made it in 30 minutes and posted it to have a laugh with my friends. It’s not meant to offend, but for laughter. The original video for TIA caused a great conversation, and still is. But most of the energy surrounding it is negative.
I wasn’t purposefully to be ignorant to the climate we’re in, but i think the fact that so many people of all races are enjoying this is something to look at.“
