The moment you have heard it, its bound to get stuck in your head. China’s latest megahit “Cai Cai Cai” has taken over the trending topic charts on social media platform Sina Weibo.
Much like “My Skateboard Shoes” (我的滑板鞋), the song that went viral in 2014, “Cai Cai Cai” (“Step, Step, Step”, 踩踩踩) is one of those songs that is annoying and addictive at the same time. The song came out in September and quickly went viral.
Like other catchy tunes, the song comes with some easy-to-learn dance steps, showing somewhat of a resemblance to leader of all annoying catchy songs: Gangnam Style. Unsurprisingly, the Chinese song has also become popular in South Korea.
“Step Step Step” and its video have set alight a stream of funny videos where people imitate the dance or and make their own versions of it, with the video’s settings shifting from treadmill gyms to bedroom scenes.
One of the reasons why the song became trending is also because many people do not understand how it became trending. As many netizens wonder how such a ‘bad’ song could grow so big, they are making the topic even bigger: the Weibo topic “The whole nation is crazy over ‘Cai Cai Cai’” (“#全民疯玩神曲踩踩踩#”) has now been viewed over 240 million times.
