Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Kyle Gordon under fire for not using the real blonde girl as Miss Biljana Electronica for DJ Crazy Times’ Planet of the Bass song.
With 750k likes and almost 5 million views on the initial TikTok and countless reposts on Twitter and other social media sites, it’s safe to say the Planet of the Bass song is a viral hit. Thus, DJ Crazy Time (aka Kyle Gordon) has opted to release a full song.
He wrote: “Filmed in Zagreb, Croatia.”
However, fans of the original TikTok noticed that Biljana was missing in the new music video Kyle filmed to promote the full song’s release. The decision to leave Biljana behind hasn’t gone over well with fans.
The Planet of the Bass song has gone viral on TikTok for replicating the charm of 90s Eurodance while being a catchy tune in its own right, but producer Kyle Gordon is coming under fire for leaving co-star Ms. Biljana Electronica out of the music video for the song’s full release.
Of course, Gordon’s hype man is no less fully realized, sporting an ensemble of tactical vest and mirrored goggles while pulling ravey moves and barking meaningless interjections like “Electric! Electric!” But it is probably the beginning of his verse — the banger couplet “Life, it never die / Women are my favorite guy” — that has most captivated the internet, which is prone to both gender fluidity and “guy” taxonomy. The appreciation posts and Genius lyrics annotations have flowed freely, along with popular fan art from illustrators including Kenzie Bugg.
The Planet of the Bass song has been an unexpected hit on TikTok. What started as a parody of the Euro-pop style that dominated in the 90s has gone on to take the internet by storm.
It’s a certain millennial nostalgia attached to those propulsive, synth-laden jams — the kind of stuff you’d step to playing Dance Dance Revolution — that’s been reawakened by “Planet of the Bass.” The song is a loving parody of “Every European Dance Song in the 1990s” by comedian Kyle Gordon (as his alter ego “DJ Crazy Times”) and a singer who goes by Ms. Biljana Electronica (her true identity remains something of a mystery). Though Gordon has released only a 50-second snippet of the track, which drops in full on Aug. 15, it’s arguably the song of the summer already: over 4 million views on TikTok, close to 80 million on Twitter, and a handful of lyrics that have become standalone memes practically overnight. If you haven’t heard it yet, prepare yourself for an unshakeable earworm, complete with a “rap” breakdown.
While Gordon has occasionally inhabited the character of DJ Crazy Times in years past, putting on an ambiguously Balkan accent and pretending to rev up audiences with not-quite-fluent English catchphrases, it was surely the addition of Biljana that catapulted the bit into mega-virality. When she belts out “All of the dream / How does it mean,” you can almost convince yourself she’s asking something profound. And just try not to move when she sings, “Danger and dance / Clapping the hands.”
