About
Jamaica They're Trapped Down In, continued Jamaica They Can't Even Ja-Party, refers to lyrics from the song "Save This Show" from the Cartoon Network show Total Drama, originally sung by the characters Geoff and Bridgette in the season three episode "Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon." The song, specifically Geoff's part about Jamaica, became a meme on TikTok in mid-2023, where video creators added different visuals to the song including cats and dogs.
Origin
On December 9th, 2010, season 3, episode 12 of Total Drama titled "Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon" aired on American television.[1] In the episode, the characters Geoff and Bridgette sang a song called "Save This Show" which included a part where Geoff was singing, "Jamaica, they're trapped down in. Jamaica, they can't even Ja-party. It's so unfair" (YouTube[2] upload shown below).
On December 24th, 2021, TikToker[3] @total_drama_1.2.3 shared the song to the app, gaining roughly 27,300 plays and 1,500 likes in two years. Two years later, on July 21st, 2023, YouTuber[4] MachemRodez posted a video called "SAVE JAPARTY" which is currently the first-discovered memetic usage of Geoff's verse. The video received roughly 11,000 views in one month (shown below).
