TikTok is discovering nearly every name has a ‘poop song’

[[{“value”:”

The latest trend on TikTok is, well, a fecal matter. People have discovered that nearly every name you can imagine has a “poop song” — a ditty with their name and the word poop in it — seemingly made by the same guy. So, of course, people are posting their respective poop songs, often going viral if they have a particularly unique name.

That is…pretty much the trend in a nutshell. Granted, the poop songs are funny. They’re all sung by an artist named The Odd Man Who Sings About Poop, Puke and Pee. (More on that guy later.)

Each song follows the same general formula: sing the name, sing the word poop, keep the vocals relatively monotone and the music pretty simple.

Here’s one for a person named Aoife, an Irish name, which racked up more than 17 million views.

Here’s one from a person named Kia, which garnered 14 million views.

Here are TikToks of poop songs for a Gracie, Amelie, and Mason.

You might wonder why these songs exist. And it’s a reasonable question because who would take the time and effort to make so many poop songs. The answer to that question is Matt Farley, an internet character of personal fascination for me.

I first discovered Farley years ago in a manner you might expect. I was visiting friends in New Orleans and found it hilarious to play songs about poop over the speakers in their home — I admit my sense of humor is juvenile but it got a laugh.

Farley absolutely floods Spotify and other streaming services with songs that’ll turn up in very specific searches. Things like towns, celebrity names, and, yes, toilet humor. In fact, one of his most popular projects is “The Toilet Bowl Cleaners” with such hits as “Butt Cheeks Butt Cheeks Butt Cheeks!” and “The Poop Song.” For what it’s worth, I find “Butt Cheeks Butt Cheeks Butt Cheeks!” genuinely hilarious — in a surreal, strange way. Some of these tracks have racked up millions of plays, but Farley’s playing a volume game.

Farley has been featured in lots of major media, including the Tonight Show and a profile in the New York Times. That article in the Times noted Farley has put out some 24,000 songs in total. Anything you can think to search — birthdays, promposals, and any name pooping — he’s there.

“People like to criticize the whole streaming thing, but there’s really a lot of pros to it, Farley told the Times while estimating he made about $200,000 in 2023 off streaming royalties.

So that’s where the trend is coming from — one guy dumping songs into the sewers of the internet. And if poop songs keep being a trend on TikTok he might churn out more steaming hot songs this year.
