Mason Ramsey became known as the Walmart yodeling kid in 2018, after a video of the then 11-year-old singing Hank Williams' Lovesick Blues inside a Walmart store spread widely online. The clip made his distinctive yodel instantly recognisable, and creators began remixing it into dance, trap and EDM versions that kept the vocal front and centre. Those remixes travelled through TikTok, YouTube and meme pages, where the contrast between a small-town country performance and club-ready production became the joke. It endures because the original moment is specific and the vocal is so easy to recognise in a few seconds.
About this sound
The Mason Ramsey yodeling kid remixed into a punchy EDM track, with his famous Walmart yodel over a dance beat. Creators use it for funny drops and meme edits.
The clip takes Mason Ramsey's instantly recognisable Walmart yodel and drops it over a bright, bouncy EDM beat, turning a country vocal into a short dance track. The yodel stays clear and high in the mix while synths, a driving bassline and a crisp four-on-the-floor rhythm build underneath it, then cut away for the next vocal phrase. It sounds playful, unexpected and deliberately over the top, because the earnest old-fashioned singing clashes with the modern club production. That contrast is what makes it land, giving a familiar meme a burst of energy and a punchline that feels both nostalgic and ridiculous.
