About this sound

KSI's Thick of It reimagined as an 1890s old-time parlor song, used in memes and edits for its absurd vintage contrast with a modern viral track.

This clip is the chorus of KSI's Thick of It transformed into an 1890s style performance, with ragtime piano, tinny vocals and an old parlor recording feel replacing the polished modern production. The familiar lyrics stay intact, but the delivery sounds like a music hall singer from another century. That mismatch is the joke, turning a heavily memed internet song into something oddly quaint and theatrical. Listeners instantly recognise the melody while the scratchy, vintage arrangement makes it feel both nostalgic and completely ridiculous.

Pro tip

Drop it right as a modern scene cuts to anything old fashioned, letting the first piano notes land before the vocal. Keep the original track out underneath it, and end the edit on the chorus hook for maximum contrast.

More information

Thick of It was released in 2024 by British YouTuber and rapper KSI, featuring Trippie Redd, and quickly became one of the most mocked and memed songs online. Remixes soon followed, reworking it in genres and eras it was never meant for. The 1890s version leans into that trend, presenting the track as a ragtime era recording. Its popularity comes from remix culture on TikTok and YouTube, where placing a very modern viral song in a distant historical style is an instantly shareable joke.
