Yes, there is a song about the omicron and it was born on TikTok

in the universe of TikTok everything is possible and her most recent feat is having given birth to the one they call ‘the omicron song’.

The melody, a kind of rap with reggaeton, begins by addressing all the people who feel a headache that reaches “up to the hems of the pants” (that is, from head to toe), which come out of party without a maskwhat are you drinking drugs for pain and discomfortor have a “little cough because of the smoke from a truck” (or as we would say around here, because of the climate change). He tells all of them that, most likely, they have “the omicron”.

The theme is a user creation Vaalentz, a young Dominican who identifies himself as a Christian on his TikTok profile. In fact, he shares Christian reflections with a light and funny tone, as well as skits. Together with another user, Marshmelodomboth sing the song titled you have omicron in the middle of a deserted street describing with rhymes the symptoms of the latest variant of the coronavirus, emphasizing the attention and care that these signs should provoke in those who have them.

The short video was published mid january, when the contagion peaks of the virus, first identified in South Africa, in November 2021, reported their highest levels in the rest of the countries, including Ecuador. At the moment it registers almost 12 million views and a million and a half ‘likes’.

But the story did not end there. In 15 days, the improvised short jumped onto the platform of Youtube with a video with greater production, where the scenery of a clinical office replaced the original open space. The clip had the collaboration of a producer, according to the credits that appear at the end.
