Chappell Roan is the gift that keeps on giving. Her killer anthems like “Hot to Go” and “Pink Pony Club” were arguably the songs of the summer—sorry Charli and Sabrina—and while she’s sparked a lot of online discourse, Chappell Roan clearly isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
So, it was only a matter of time before one of her songs went TikTok-viral.
The sound

The sound consists of Roan singing “Pink Pony Club,” but the moment the beat drops, the introduction to the Phantom of the Opera can be heard, giving the piece of music a dramatic tonal shift.
It’s this tonal shift that makes it the perfect TikTok sound, as countless creators use it to share their own sudden, unexpected changes in mood and circumstance. This includes getting a text from someone in the past, realizing you left your room messy, and reacting to a colleague they like making a mistake versus one they hate.

As previously mentioned, this is a remix of Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” and the Phantom of the Opera. The remix was made by TikToker Jacob Sutherland, who has gone viral in the past for remixes like “YMCA” and “Berries and Cream.”
Accompanying this sound, which has amassed 6 million TikTok views, is on-screen text that says: “Chappell Roan if she started getting secret voice lessons from the Phantom of the Opera in a cavern underneath the Pink Pony Club.”
The remix was originally posted on Sept. 16. The sound first went viral on Oct. 10, when it was used in a TikTok that highlighted the dichotomy between the elegant Nutcracker ballet and the show’s dancing rats.
