Walmart Yodel Boy

This week's meme is the Walmart Yodel Boy. This meme refers to a video of a 12-year old boy named Mason Ramsey performing "Lovesick Blues" by Hank Williams in a Walmart. The video went viral as people applied various captions to it and remixed it. The video was filmed on March 24 and uploaded to YouTube two days later. Here's the original video:

The first iteration of the meme appeared on March 27 when the video appeared with the caption: “Me: which aisle can i find light bulbs? Walmart employee:”

The Walmart Yodel Boy meme has taken many different formats:

There have even been remixes of his yodeling:

I enjoy this meme because it is music-based, which is pretty rare. The fact that it's a yodeling meme makes it one of a kind. Despite the memes, Mason Ramsey is actually very talented, especially for his age. It's always refreshing to hear genuine talent like his. Also, I love that since this meme lacks a particular format, it can literally be anything it wants. However, I think this will prevent the meme from gaining many iterations and that it will die out soon.
