About

Meryl Streep Singing is a series of captioned tweets illustrating an imagined duet of widely recognized lyrics from popular songs as performed by the original singer and the Oscar-winning American actress Meryl Streep. The tweets are accompanied by a still image of Streep caught in the middle of shouting something during the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) award ceremony in 2015.

Origin

On March 17th, 2017, Dash Tsushï (@SayItAintDash) tweeted one of the earliest known mock duets by a pop recording artist and Meryl Streep, featuring the chorus from Missy Elliot's 2002 hit hip hop single "Work It," with Meryl delivering the backmasked line ("I put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it") in phonetic translation and accompanied by a photograph of the actress cheering on Debbie Reynolds as her fellow actress went on stage to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2015 SAG award ceremony. Within 72 hours, the tweet garnered nearly 30,000 retweets and over 36,000 likes.


Missy: "If its worth it then let me work it I put my thang down flip it and reverse it Me: "ZYURFIMENIPAFLANYANT" SAGA

Spread

Throughout the week, more iterations of the newly-dubbed "Meryl Streep Shouting Lyrics" meme continued to surface on Twitter, with infusion of mondegreens (misheard lyrics) and phonetic translation in the style of the "Wrong Lyrics Christina" image macro series.
