What Is The 'My Name Is David' Song?
At the beginning of December 2024, musician and YouTuber Xtratuna published an original song and lyric video titled "'JACKIE'S BOX' – FNAF MIMIC SONG."
The video, which has gained over 3 million views since it was posted, features several FNAF characters singing about the game's lore as it relates to the antagonistic character The Mimic. Notably, The Mimic is set to be the main antagonist of the upcoming game Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic.
FNAF fan songs are very popular among the fandom, however, most of them take a fairly serious approach to the craft. Xtratuna, however, while playing into the game's lore and characters, seems to be taking everything very lighthearted.
After the song was posted, the verses from David and The Mimic started going viral for their bizarre and hilarious lyrics and vocal performances.
How Is The 'FNAF Mimic Song' Used In Memes?
In the weeks following the song's release, people began sharing clips of the video across social media, including TikTok, Twitter and Reddit. Mostly, they shared David's portion of the song, which features the lyrics:
"My name is David, Dad, I want some ice cream, David, that is my name, David, I want another, David, Where is my ball? I'm running out on the road, There is a car, And it is going to hit me *screams*."
These lyrics have only become increasingly popularized in memes over the past few months, simply as reaction fodder and through memes including recreations and parodies.
The silhouette of David featured in the video, which seems to be a stock child silhouette image, has also become the subject of memes including photoshops. Whether you're a FNAF fan or not, give the song a listen. You won't regret it.
