As part of the hugely viral “Belly Dancer” dance trend on TikTok, users have found the perfect filter that makes any video look like an edit that goes perfectly with the song.

While TikTok trends can consist of anything from storytimes to bizarre effects, one of the most common ways for trends to arise on platform is through a viral song.

Often this can be something as mainstream as a song that’s just recently charted, and other times it might be a remix of an old song or perhaps even a kids song from YouTube (as was the case for the hugely viral Backyardigans.)

The most recent song to completely dominate For You Pages across the world is a remix of Akon’s song ‘Bananza (Belly Dancer)’.

A snippet from the track took off quickly on TikTok, and people immediately got to work making trends out of the short clip.
