'Bitch I'm A Cow': Udderly Viral Jam Is Making Moooves
For starters, sorry for that headline. But after you watch the video you might understand why I couldn’t help it.
Less than a week ago I started seeing clips of a sexy cow lady dancing across my Twitter. The initial instinct was to roll my eyes & assume it was some dumb YouTuber stunt, and that instinct continued when I finally clicked & started listening.
“Bitch, I’m a cow, bitch I’m a cow, bitch I’m a cow.”
Oh.
But then a few verses in…. I was hooked. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened since then. Mooo! is crunchy vibes all around… Guess it’s not that eloquent of a description, but that chill beat with the lyrics is just fun to listen to.
Got milk bitch? Got beef?
Got steak hoe, got cheese
Grade A hoe, not lean
Got me A1, sauce please
These heifers got nothin’ on me
Amala Dlamini AKA Doja Cat released the video for Mooo! four days ago & it’ll be at well over a million views before the week is up. And after going down one my usual internet rabbit holes I feel confident in saying the 22 year-old South African singer is one of the next big things. Going through her songs, she’s clearly a serious artist who isn’t taking things too seriously & she isn’t afraid to get weird for creativity’s sake, which is where all the best stuff comes from if you ask me.
In an interview she noted the now viral phenomenon was just spur of the moment:
“I wore the top in bed while I was making the song. I had this sample that was chopped by my friend Troy Noka, and he just emailed that me. I decided to make something, put the sample into my program, and I looked at my shirt, thought ‘this shirt is cute,’ was inspired by that top, and just did it. Bitch I’m a cow,” she said.
As for the music video, Doja Cat made it in her room by using a giant piece of green paper that she thumb-tacked it to a wall. The video took a total of six hours to create, according to the star.
“For me to make a song about cows, which is obviously kind of out of the box, and for people to pick up on that as something important? It’s insane,” she told Paper, adding: “It’s refreshing to see that people have a sense of humor.”
I’m all in on Doja Cat & her cows.
