The lyrics of the poem "Lượm" were made into offensive music on TikTok
In recent days, a rap with lyrics adapted from the poem "Lượm" by poet Tố Hữu suddenly went viral on the TikTok platform.
Audio clip from the poem "Lượm" attracts millions of uses
The rap song performed by 2see and remixed by DJ FWIN has the following content: “The skinny boy, the pretty bag, the nimble legs, the cropped head/ The wind blows the real Prada bamboo branches/ What's the hot trend online?/ It's hard to draw a tiger's skin, draw its bones/ The immortals know their faces on Nguyen Tri Phuong street/ Laugh at others today, people will laugh at you tomorrow/ A hundred hearings are not as good as seeing the morning of October 10/10/ If you want to come here, you have to build a bridge/ If you want your children to be good at reading, you have to spend a lot of money”.
Currently, the hashtag "Chubeloatchoat" has more than 18.3 million mentions on this platform. Videos with this music track attract tens, hundreds of thousands of views and interactions.
The most popular videos include students standing on tables, chairs, and even teachers’ desks to pose. Some videos feature girls wearing ao dai in rather sensitive positions. Others combine music with videos of them wearing swimsuits.
As soon as this trend was widely shared, this music was quickly criticized because the content was not suitable for the original spirit of the poem.
"I don't understand why this trend is hot enough and you guys can "follow the trend" like that. Looking at it from every aspect, it is a meaningless meme, instilling in young people distorted perceptions of heroic historical knowledge. Music without meaning is not music, don't try to say that this is music to listen to for entertainment."
"This is the moral degradation of some young people. Too bad"; "Trash but praised, trending, too scary"... are some comments from the audience on social networks.
The problem of trash music and offensive remixed music is painful.
This is not the first time that the issue of trash music and offensive remixes has spread rapidly on social networks, making public opinion fed up.
Le Duong Bao Lam caused controversy when he sang a parody of "Doraemon" on television.
Remember, in 2018, the song "Love Vietnam" was edited into the offensive lyrics: "Birds in cages fly out, birds spread their wings and tear their pants apart. Birds fly to a faraway place" in the video "Singer's dream" by Vanh Leg, posted on YouTube.
In 2022, a parody of the famous comic book characters Doraemon performed by Le Duong Bao Lam on the show Lyric Battle also went viral on social media, especially on the TikTok platform.
Specifically, the parody has the following content: “Xeko’s mother is poor, Chaien’s mother is rich, and Nobita always bullies his friends. Nobita secretly loves Xuka, picks roses to give to Chaien. If Chaien agrees to marry Nobita, then Nobito will be born.”
Sharing with Giao Thong Newspaper about this issue, musician Nguyen Van Chung said that he still respects parodies with educational and creative content, conveying positive and practical messages...
The musician gave an example of the parodies of young teacher Nguyen Thai Duong, which aim to provide students with useful knowledge and help them remember easily. He also welcomes humorous, lightly satirical songs and appreciates useful creations.

“It’s the same with rap music. I respect the perspectives of rap creators, they have edgy, straightforward, strong language, but I still condemn songs with vulgar, offensive, and sexually suggestive lyrics. That means we have to have clear boundaries and standards.
Humor and vulgarity are completely different. Creativity cannot go against good customs and moral standards.
Ultimately, art must still guide listeners to something good, something more wholesome, not to lead people to have negative thoughts and negative actions, affecting themselves and society. Therefore, creativity cannot and should not cross cultural boundaries," the author of the song "Mother's Diary" expressed.
According to musician Nguyen Van Chung, without strict control from the management agency, not only "Lượm" but also many Vietnamese literary and artistic works will be turned into "garbage" products and spread on social networks.
"I think the audience should strongly boycott these "trash" music products. At the same time, management agencies also need to take strong measures to prevent this kind of music "trash" from spreading on the internet," the musician suggested.
