Hello Internet!
And Welcome To behind the meme!
Today we have a look at “You so precious when you smile”
Music and memes!
Two of my favorite things next to football and lauren southern…
I’M STRAIGHT!
And when music and memes are combined together it is a match made in heaven kinda like anchovies
and birthday cake.
So naturally when I saw people posting this meme on Youtube, snapchat, reddit and instagram
I instantly fell in love!
“you so precious when you smile” *music*
It all originates from one amazing song, which I had no clue existed prior to the meme but
am now happy I do because it is badass.
“that’s badass!
It is badass”
The song that I speak of is called “mine”.
Not yours, not theirs, not ours ,not his, not hers, but mine and not that mine song
by Taylor Swift.
This MINE was released in October of 2017 by the musician andrew bazzi who is known
simply as bazzi, which I don’t know if I’m pronouncing right because words are hard for
me, you know, letters, vowels, sounds and that kind of stuff, but I’m close, I know
that much for sure, I AM close!
It only takes One listen to “mine” and you can instantly see…or I guess in this
case it would be hear.
You can instantly hear the songs appeal.
“ you so fuckin precious when you smile” *MUSIC*
The audio of the song has received millions of views and listens since it’s release
in the later part of 2017 and the official music video which was released on
January 31st 2018 will soon do the same!
I’m so sure of that fact that i’m willing to bet this cute puppy that it does.
You like puppies don’t you?
Although the song is good and has merit on it’s own, It has surely been helped by the
popularity of the new meme based around it!
Which has Helped it reach a much larger audience than it otherwise may have.
I mean the song even entered the billboard hot 100 music chart at number 56 for the week
of February 3rd 2018.
It is even number one on this chart right here beating out popular artists And as we
all know, number 1 is good, its like the best you can do or something like that.
Not bad for a song that has been out since 2017.
The meme uses the loving opening lyrics of the song to accompany and compliment pictures
or videos of people, characters or things which express a loving tone and message or
sometimes an ironic form of love and appreciation by using edits.
You know, hearts and filters and emojis.
Futuristic Internet stuff like that.
One of the first examples which used a slowed down version of the song was created in early
January 2018 and was uploaded to youtube where it has received over 200,000 views .
This version was also posted to twitter where it has received close to a million views and
was even retweeted by bazzi himself who obviously enjoyed the creative way in which his work
was being used.
“ you so fuckin precious when you smile.
Hit it from the back and drive you wild” *MUSIC*
The popularity of the original edits even caused the creation of the snapchat filter
“be mine” by the user Bennyp3333.
The “Be mine” lens has been downloaded an impressive amount of times since first
being published and helped spread the ease of making the memes and videos.
And due to that filter the primary momentum and popularity of the meme has been on snapchat
And thanks to that popularity it has caused it to spread to other apps and websites which
has made it even more popular and it is a continuous cycle of spreading and becoming
popular until it dominates the world and we are forced to bow our heads before it and
pray it deems us worthy to live…and by that I mean, by now you have surely seen it in
one of your social media feeds and if you haven’t well damnit you need to follow some
new people because if you do you get to see and hear magic like this.
So
there you have it!
What started off as a pretty catchy song has turned into a new meme which has helped propel
that catchy song to new levels of popularity!
But hey!
