The origins

The helicopter helicopter is a meme that got generated around November of this year. According to YouTube, the original video is about five seconds long. The video features a young Arab boy that has placed himself as a seat for the motorbike. His face is the headlight while his hands rest on the wheel of the Transformer-like vehicle. The serious expression on the boy’s face makes the video even more hilarious. The shot clip has managed to gather over 150,000 views in a few short days. On TikTok, the sound is famous as Helikopter by Fezlija.

The creator

The singer behind the Helikoppter helipkopter meme is none other then Fazlija. He is a 49 year old musician from Bosnia and herzegovinea. The singer released the song back in 2015. After a few creators used the tune for their background music, the sound started getting the recognition it deserves. It seems that the song has yet to have an English translation. According to Know your meme, the sone is about money and helicopter. The youtube videos have about 2 million views.

There are three versions of this song: #1, #2, #3
