"Planet of the Bass" is a song by American comedian Kyle Gordon under the pseudonym DJ Crazy Times, featuring American singer-songwriter Chrissi Poland under the name Ms. Biljana Electronica.[1][2][3] It was due to be released on August 22, 2023, but the date was later moved forward to August 15.[4] The song was written by Gordon. Brooks Allison, a sketch writer for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Jamie Siegel served as producers.[3][5] "Planet of the Bass" is part of a larger comedy album set for release in the fall, titled Kyle Gordon Is Great, which will also feature parodies on bossa nova, pop punk and country songs.[5]
"Planet of the Bass"
Single by Kyle Gordon featuring DJ Crazy Times and Ms. Biljana Electronica
The song was created as a parody of 1990sEuropean dance music.[6] The song contains broken English lyrics, such as "When the rhythm is glad / There is nothing to be sad", and "Life, it never die / Women are my favorite guy".[1]
The female vocals are provided by Chrissi Poland, who vocally portrays the fictional character Ms. Biljana Electronica. In the music videos she is mainly portrayed by actress Audrey Trullinger, in addition to Mara Olney and Sabrina Brier.[7] Electronica was featured in the original short video of the song, being portrayed by Trullinger. Trullinger was replaced by Olney, who was criticised for being less energetic.[8][9] Olney was replaced with Brier who portrayed Electronica in one video.[10] Electronica was featured in the official "Planet of the Bass" music video, ultimately portrayed by Trullinger, but with minor appearances by Olney and Brier as Biljana on a computer screen.[11][12][13]
Gordon filmed a short video for the song in New York City's Oculus building, with Trullinger portraying Biljana Electronica,[2][3] before they were asked to leave by the police for filming in the area.[3][4] The video was uploaded on July 28, 2023, and it soon went viral on Twitter, TikTok and Tumblr,[2][6] leading to the song's release date being pushed forward from August 22 to August 15.[14]
On August 3, Gordon uploaded another snippet of the song, this time with Mara Olney playing Biljana over the same vocal track. This, as well as Olney's "less nostalgic fashion and relatively muted expressions", was faced with backlash from fans who demanded Trullinger's return. That same night, Gordon premiered the full song live at Mood Ring, a queer bar in Brooklyn. On August 7, a third snippet was uploaded, featuring TikTok personality Sabrina Brier portraying Biljana. Gordon told NBC News that the videos with Trullinger and Olney were inspired by a common trope in 1990s Eurodance music videos, in which the singers would be replaced by various models.[5] In an interview with The Washington Post, Trullinger stated that she initially thought she had been replaced after learning that Gordon was filming the version with Olney. After both versions were released, she called the stunt "so funny" and praised Olney for being "fantastic and hilarious".[3]
Receptionedit
Soon after the release of the snippet of the song, Mark Harris, former executive at Entertainment Weekly, praised the clip, saying that had the song been released in 1997, they would've been given a whole page with a photo shoot in Entertainment Weekly.[2] The band Aqua commented: "Wait, is this play about us???",[15] on Gordon's initial TikTok clip of the song, referencing a line spoken by Euphoria character Maddy Perez. Gordon named Aqua as one of the inspirations for the track, and credited the hype around their 1997 song "Barbie Girl" (due to the release of the film Barbie) for his song's popularity.[5] Miles Klee of Rolling Stone described the song as a "landmark achievement" and a party anthem.[4]
