What song is the Smalltown Boy AI dance? Is it in the video?
Updated:
Short answer
Most posts of the trend use “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat, a 1984 release. Our video does not contain that recording. Tip Toe AI generates its own retro synth-pop backing under your characters’ comic screams, and you add the trending sound inside TikTok or Instagram when you post.
What our video sounds like
The scene calls for an upbeat, driving 1980s-style synth-pop instrumental with a punchy electronic beat, under the characters’ own long comic screams: a cat yowls, a dog howls, a person wails. There are no lyrics and no words, and the sound differs between runs.
It is not the original recording, and the scene does not ask for the original melody.
The timing follows the original clip second by second, so the original sound fits when you add it.
Adding the trending sound in four steps
- Grab the version without sound from My videos.
- Start a new post in TikTok, Instagram Reels or Shorts and pick the video.
- Choose the trending sound from the app’s own sound library.
- Set the volume and post.
A note on licensing
Platforms license their sound libraries for use inside their own apps, so choosing a track there is the intended route. We cannot give legal advice, and you stay responsible for what you post. Nothing here is endorsed by or affiliated with the artists, their label or the original dance creators.
How to put the original sound on your video in TikTok
Every video you make here comes with an AI-made soundtrack of its own. If you would rather use the trending sound, add it inside TikTok when you post. You can also grab the version without music from My videos and lay the original sound over that.
- Open the original post of this trend in TikTok, tap the sound name at the bottom of the screen, then tap Use this sound.
- Tap Upload and choose the video you downloaded from us.
- Open Volume and turn the video's own sound down to 0, or use the Download without music version from My videos.
- To line the clip up with the beat, trim the sound so it starts at 0 seconds, then post.
Need the sound to start somewhere else? This short video shows how to trim it.
