“Tik Tok Girls” by realPfft

A.I. rules! Musical maestro Mutte Fjutt in Uppsala, Sweden has composed his third A.I. hit in a row: First came “Turing Test?”, then “I skogens dunkla famn” and now “Tik Tok Girls.”

The A.I.-generated song lyrics were created by ChatGPT using the prompt “Write a song about Tik Tok Girls.” Having grown up with the Swedish equivalent of Top 40 radio, the boys are no strangers to cheesy lyrics.   

The song voice and cadence in “Tik Tok Girls” came from the text-to-speech platform TTS Free.

The A.I. cover art of a glamorous young lady was created by Fotor from the prompt “Smartphone with a girl on the screen.”

The melody and musical arrangement are by Mutte & Clive in realPfft, of course. Hooray for humans, wherever we may be hiding.  

Hell hath no fury like an elusive song title. The meta data at the music distributor did not recognize the words Tik Tok as part of the English language!

Mutte & Clive informed the distributor that “Tik Tok girls” is a description, like Swifties, YouTubers, soccer moms and boomer dads. Tik Tok describes a particular type of young lady— exuberant and extroverted, showing off her talent on social media.

There is no law which allows anyone to copyright a song title. When I searched for “Tik Tok Girls” on Spotify, I found three other artists who had already used this identical title: Brent Havard, Koron Don and Rana Naveed. iTunes even has tracks with the same title by Team Broken Heart and Dj Dozza. So that’s five other artists who have already released tracks using the title “Tik Tok Girls.”

Music loop aficionados, Mutte & Clive have several years’ experience sharing loops that other musicians have also purchased the right to use. Their feeling is: This is not a problem, the more, the merrier. Let listeners create playlists based on similarities in the material.

Unexpected news! The boys have a growing fan base in China and South Korea. “Tik Tok Girls” is their entry into the world of K-pop. Jinjeon! Progress!

Tik Tok Girls

In the realm where seconds dance and whirl

There’s a place called Tik Tok for every boy and girl

Where laughter echoes and joy takes flight

In the glow of screens, day turns into night

Girls, with grace in their every move

They weave tales on Tik Tok, in a digital groove

With eyes that sparkle like stars in the sky

They captivate hearts as time passes by

In a world of filters where dreams take hold

They share their stories both timid and bold

Through dances that echo a rhythmic beat

In every video, they find a seat

With creativity as vast as the endless sea

They paint their passions for all to see

In make-up tutorials and heartfelt songs

They find their voices, where they belong

Tik Tok, a canvas where talent takes flight

Where girls express in the softest light

With courage and strength, they break the mold

In a universe of stories, beautifully told

So here’s to the girls, with dreams so wide

On Tik Tok’s stage, they stand with pride

In the digital universe where they shine bright

Guiding us all through the endless night
