Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)

Kate Bush's hit song Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) has gone viral on TikTok after being featured in the acclaimed Netflix Original series Stranger Things 4: Vol 1. Despite being nearly four decades old, the song quickly surged to the top spot on the UK Single Charts.

Happy 1 week✨❤️

♬ Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) - Kate Bush

After the show aired, many users used the song in the "Which Stranger Things Character Are you" trend on TikTok, like the one featured above.

I Wanna I Wanna Ride

The "I Wanna Ride" song is a remix of Vegas by Joseleine Hernandez and became a hit trend in April 2022. The lyrics, "I wanna ride," is an innuendo for sex, and videos using the song were often accompanied by an edited fish-eye filter and various provocative cutscenes.

My Money Don't Jiggle Jiggle

British-American presenter Louis Theroux became a viral sensation for his TikTok rap; My Money Don't Jiggle Jiggle -- another well-aged song released roughly two decades ago.

@dukeandjones My money don’t jiggle jiggle, it folds 💯💰 #louistheroux#ameliadimoldenberg#chickenshopdate#autotune#remix#fyp♬ Jiggle Jiggle - Duke & Jones & Louis Theroux

The rap was made as a joke for the BBC Two show Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends, which includes a lesser-known second verse that you can watch in his new Life on Edge docuseries.

About Damn Time

Lizzo's more recent hit, About Damn Time, became super popular on TikTok's er, more provocative side; aptly dubbed TikThot or ThotTok. You can see what I mean in the TikTok compilation video below.

Heat Waves

Glass Animals' Heat Waves song took 59 weeks to break the mainstream music scene, all thanks to TikTok. Interestingly, the Oxford quartet was stunned to learn their song hit the top spot on the Billboards Hot 100 songs list after nearly failing their musical career.

@jeandre.jvr I felt so bad 😂 #xyzbca#viral#ometv#fyp♬ Heat Waves - Glass Animals

While there is a variety of different use-cases of the song on the app, perhaps the most popular (and downright savage) is the "emotional damage" prank by TikTok user Jeandre (see above).

As It Was

Over 2.1 million videos were created on TikTok using Harry Styles' As It Was song. Again, the music was used in many different cases but was most popularly used in illustrating life before and after the coronavirus pandemic. In other circles, the As It Were Trend showed body transformations.

Notably, Harry Styles' Late Night Talking song also became a hit on TikTok, albeit featured in far less depressing videos.

Middle of the Night

The Middle of the Night by Elley Duhé became a sensation in the "Hero or Villain" trend on TikTok, featuring a cartoon video edit using the Prequel app. As the trend's name suggests, TikTokers could reveal whether they would be a hero or villain in a make-believe superhero movie version of life.
