What Is The 'What Color Is The Sky? Ay Mi Amor' Cat Meme?
A sped-up version of "Un Poco Loco" started going viral on TikTok around May 2022. Something about the ramped-up speed of the song stuck with TikTokers, as it often does, and they began using it in lip dub videos and skits. Pretty basic TikTok stuff.
Then, in October, TikToker @catfurr_ posted a video where they send each line of the song's lyrics to someone over text, only the lyrics have been added as captions to cat memes. Some of the memes are Photoshops of the famous TikTok cat el gato while others are various crying cats and more random cats. The video quickly gained over a million views and sparked a trend.
