PPAP was released in 2016 by Japanese comedian Pikotaro, the stage persona of Daimaou Kosaka, as a deliberately simple novelty song built around a pen, a pineapple and an apple. The short video spread rapidly on YouTube and social media, helped by its easy dance, repetitive lyrics and short runtime, and it inspired countless covers, parodies and remixes around the world. It later entered the Billboard Hot 100 as one of the shortest songs to chart, and it remains a familiar reference for cheerful, instantly recognisable internet absurdity.

The short PPAP clip from Pikotaro's viral Pen Pineapple Apple Pen song, with its catchy fruit and pen chant, used in memes, edits and reaction videos online.
This 11-second clip captures the instantly recognisable hook of PPAP, Pikotaro's absurd 2016 novelty song about holding a pen, a pineapple and an apple. A deadpan male voice chants the simple list over a bright, bouncy pop beat, building the silly wordplay line by line until the objects combine in the listener's mind. The rhythm is short, repetitive and deliberately catchy, so even a few seconds feel complete. It lands as pure comic nonsense, prompting smiles and sing-alongs rather than any serious meaning, and its cheerful absurdity makes it easy to recognise even without the original video.
