As if movie reboots weren’t enough, now Hollywood is rebooting music, too.
‘Thong Song’, which came out all the way back in 1999, has had staying power unlike most song from the era. In fact, I’d argue that literally 99% of millennials know the lyrics to the chorus of ‘Thong Song’. So, naturally, it was only a matter of time before Sisqo and everyone else involved cashed in on a reboot/remix.
Sisqo says that while he’s been asked to do a ‘Thong Song’ remix for years, he hasn’t found the right opportunity — until now.

“I’ve been asked so many times over the years to make a new version of ‘Thong Song’ and I have declined every time until I heard the new version that JCY did. I thought it was dope and figured maybe it was time to put some new rims on the Bugatti.”
