Flamingo was released as a single in 2014 by British trio Kero Kero Bonito and later appeared on their 2016 album Bonito Generation. Sung by Sarah Perry, the song uses the shrimp and flamingo idea to talk about fitting in and being yourself, mixing English and Japanese lines over cheerful electronic pop. Clips of the opening spread through anime edits and TikTok, where the instantly recognisable question became shorthand for cute, pink and slightly absurd moments, keeping the short excerpt in regular use years after release.

The 'how many shrimps' lyric from Flamingo by Kero Kero Bonito, a short sung clip used in anime edits, cute memes and TikTok videos about food and pink things.
This clip captures the opening question from Flamingo, sung in a bright, childlike voice over bouncy synth pop. The singer wonders aloud how many shrimps you would need to eat to turn your skin pink, delivering the line with sweet curiosity rather than serious science. The melody is light and instantly catchy, and the odd food image sticks in your head after one listen. It feels playful, a little surreal and very cute, which is why a few seconds are enough to set a whimsical tone for a whole video.
