A Tennessee Singer-Songwriter has laid everything out with a song they posted on TikTok. The song calls out everything from the current state of society to expensive lattes. They even take time to mention Scooby-Doo and unopened Amazon packages.
Corook is a singer-songwriter currently based in Tennessee. They previously went viral on their TikTok for a song called “If I Were a Fish” in 2023. Their current song is a medley comprised of daily life occurrences, with mentions of deportations, iPhones, and more. The song kicks off with “six unopened boxes from Amazon,” which is a cheeky nod to consumerism and porch pirates.
The Tennessee singer continues by calling out people who “watch [their] neighbors be deported,” only to pull out “thousand dollar iPhones” not to report but “record it.” This went even further with “upload it to TikTok because it makes me feel important.” The song takes a political turn by calling out voting and “look how far we’ve gotten.”
The song then takes stabs at reality TV, TikTok dances, and lattes. There is a deeper meaning behind the medley, with the Tennessee singer describing a state of confusion and mystery in the state of society. They sing that “I can’t even prove what’s two plus two.”
The singer’s unique lyrics have captured attention by comparing themself to Scooby-Doo, “if he wore shoes,” and “gave money to the enemy.” Several comments on the video have cheered the Tennessee singer on, with one commenting, “Do not stop.” Another stated that the song was “the perfect representation for how the last two years have felt.” A third simply encourages, “keep making stuff.”

The lyrics have created a minor debate in the comments, with some unsure how to feel.
