In early August, web channel Recess Therapy shared an interview with a boy named Tariq (aka “Corn Kid”) who endearingly and enthusiastically shared his love of corn on the cob. The interview has since gone viral, hitting new heights of popularity on TikTok and YouTube after being remixed by The Gregory Brothers, known for viral sensations like “Bed Intruder Song” and “Double Rainbow Song.”
The Gregory Brothers version of “It’s Corn” was released in late August and as of press time had amassed almost 2.4 million views on YouTube. According to NPR, the song has also been used in more than 400,000 TikTok videos since it was deleted.
Bacon’s version of the track features the actor wearing a loose-fitting shirt and sunglasses while lounging on a couch by the sea, tapping the strings of his guitar with a real piece of corn while emotionally reciting a select few lines from Tariq’s interview.
This isn’t the first time Bacon has shared his playful covers on social media. In recent months, the actor-musician has posted several clips of himself covering the likes of Harry Styles and Beyonce in front of his beloved goats.
