Billie Eilish can boast that her song “Bad Guy” is currently at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 but it’s Funk Turkey who has the No. 1 parody, “Dad Guy.”
The hilarious video for the spoof has racked up more than 600,000 views in its first couple of days on YouTube.
“It has been totally overwhelming,” said the man behind the parody, in a follow-up video. “It’s been super positive and fun.”
In “Dad Guy,” he sings: “White shirt, now red / that’s taco sauce / Eating, just sitting on my phone / Plucking grey hairs out of my nose / thinking ‘bout Just For Men.
“Now I’m that dad type / Sunday mow the yard type / Did you change your oil type / Entire bag of chips guy / I’m the daaaaaaaad guy.”
Funk Turkey is Kirt Connor, a father of three (his wife Kayla is expecting baby No. 4) who works as an IT specialist at a hospital in Arkansas.
“Dad Guy” is the first video parody he has shared – but its success means it won’t be the last.
“I’m going to keep making more stuff that is going to be equally stupid,” he promised.
