Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next is a song that’s probably stuck on most people’s heads at the moment. Many can’t seem to get enough of it, especially this guy who decided to make a Filipino spoof of the song with the help of Google Translate.

Twitter user Jose Primo Dumatol (@ChinoChooks) shared the now-viral video of his masterpiece last night which he captioned with “Salamat, Susunod” — that literally translates to “Thank you, next.”

He used the first part of Grande’s official music video for his one-minute spoof. Man, that dedication.

It also seemed like he tried to time the Google Translate so that it would sync with Grande’s voice but alas, it didn’t work out nicely.

It’s cringy to listen to because of course, Google Translate doesn’t sing and sounds like a robot, but Dumatol must’ve thought it was perfect on its own.

In the chorus, Dumatol edited the Google Translate to say “Salamat, susunod (Thank you, next)” over and over again.

The video had over 55,400 views, 4,500 retweets, and 1,400 likes as of this article’s posting. It was so bad, that netizens thought it was good.

“This is too much, you made my night!!!” wrote @jibens11.

“F*CK!!!! I cannot. I can’t take this,” wrote @itsmealreadyBry.

“[That] susunod [line] though,” said @YoSoyIvan25.

Others thought it was annoying.

“[This is] irritating,” said @JustLloydMe.

“This gave me a headache,” said @louloubuuurrr.

Is the Filipino spoof a hit or a miss? Here’s the OG one for comparison.
