It turned out to be from Ville Platte.
The family decided to follow a TikTok singing trend and went viral. KATC spoke to the family about their fame overnight.
Dotryona Johnson, April Jones, Daisha Murphy, Ursula Murphy, Charlotte Thomas, Ashley Freeman and Kimberly Thomas were having a slumber party during their girls’ trip when they decided to follow a TikTok trend and hit a record.
“I just scrolled TikTok and saw another family do it and it was hilarious. I told them, ‘We have to do it, we’re going to kill it because we’re funny in real life,’ ”Daisha Murphy said.
The trend is known as the “Bad Romance” challenge, where users sing part of the chorus to Lady Gaga’s 2009 hit “Bad Romance”.
The goal is to sing the same part of the chorus over and over, but try to hit a higher note each time. But things didn’t go according to plan for this blended family.
“I was holding everything back, concentrating, thinking, ‘I’m preparing to kill this,’ and then all of a sudden all the laughter came out,” added Ursula Murphy.
“I think when she laughs that much, we are really blown away. Daisha fell from the stairs, she couldn’t hold it. I was halfway down the stairs. As you could see, everyone was sliding off the steps, ”said Kimberly Thomas.
Since it was posted on the Internet, her video has been viewed over 5 million times on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. It has also caught the attention of high profile celebrities like Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis and Beyoncé’s mother Tina Lawson.
What they thought was just laughter turned out to be healing to others.
“We got so many comments from people who said they haven’t laughed in years. We even had a comment in which one girl said she had been depressed for two years. From her soul, she said, she just said, she laughed and laughed. It’s just amazing how something as simple can be so big in a time like this, ”said Ursula Murphy.
With so many views of the post, we asked if more content was in progress.
“She’s interested in more, but we’ll see,” said Ursula Murphy, pointing to her niece Ashley Freeman.
Whether or not the family decides to keep making videos, their mission remains the same.
“People really have to laugh and laughter is good for the soul. It’s like a spring water fountain, it brings life and we hope that even in these dark days more people will be touched and just able to laugh, ”said Ursula Murphy.
