An old, viral X / Twitter exchange is experiencing a second life on TikTok right now after it was turned into a country song by AI. The song is known as the Fancy Pants Rich McGee or "How you spell chauffeur?" song and it's become a major source for lip dubs throughout May 2024. But where did the song come from and what is it based on? Here's what you need to know.

What Is The 'How Do You Spell Chauffeur' Meme?

Back in 2020, a screenshot of a funny comment exchange on X started spreading online. The exchange shows one user asking how to spell the word chauffeur, spelling it "showfer." Another user gives him the answer, but instead of thanking him, the user who asked the question writes mockingly, "Ooooo fancy pants rich mcgee over here."

The exchange inspired a few memes and continued to spread in 2023 and 2024. Then, in April 2024, TikToker Chat Music posted a video where a number of funny viral comment exchanges are sung in the style of a country song, including the "Fancy Pants Rich McGee" song. The catchy audio went viral in May.
