What is TikTok’s ‘That is a Scarecrow’ trend?

First things first, unlike other viral trends, this one requires creativity. The more creative you get, the more you will stand out.

Hundreds of creators have made TikToks around this trend now. It features the catchy yet annoying country song lyrics created by comedian, Bo Burnham. The lyric goes, “Good Girl in a straw hat with her arms out in the field, that is a scarecrow.”

You can hear the comedian signing the lyrics below.

TikTok users were quick to stitch the lyrics of Bo Burnham’s song with their own videos, where most of them talked about or showed real-life situations while lip-syncing the lines.

For instance, in the above TikTok, a user named ‘bugpin.bunny’ stitched the story of the time her piercer told her it was necessary for him to blow on a n*pple before he could give her a piercing on it. *Creepy*

Then, in the part of the song where Bo sings ‘that is a scarecrow,’ the Tiktok user put the in-video caption as ‘That is a pervert.’

While this is one of the best-created stitches under this trend, there are many other great ones as well.

Another user named ‘archerthemaligator’ introduced her adorable pet dog with the help of this trend. The video sees the creator lip-syncing the lyrics while the caption reads, “I got this new GSD mix puppy but she is so crazy and won’t stop biting us like an insane gremlin.”
