3 hours agoIf you’ve been anywhere near TikTok lately, you’ve probably scrolled past at least one video using the sound “Clang, clang, clang went the trolley, ding, ding, ding went the bell…”. But where did the TikTok trolley sound actually come from, and why are people obsessed with it now? The audio is lifted straight from The Trolley Song, a classic show tune performed by Judy Garland in the 1944 musical Meet Me in St. Louis. TikTok has a knack for resurrecting old sounds, and The Trolley Song is perfect. Pair that with remix culture (hello, Charli XCX stans) and you’ve got a sound that mixes nostalgia and internet chaos perfectly.
