The ‘One, Two, Buckle My Shoe’ TikTok Meme Explained

Add as preferred source on Google

Viral Sounds trend for various reasons, but the latest one all that’s over the internet originated well before any of us were alive. Showing off his new shoes to a remix of the classic nursery rhyme, TikTok has gone wild for the ‘one, two, buckle my show’ meme.

We all know it from when we were kids. Be it in a nursery rhyme book, a children’s TV show or a family member singing it to you, you’ll recognise it even if you think you don’t. Now, the ‘one, two, buckle my shoe’ nursery rhyme has been TikTok-ified and given a new lease of life. Modernised and sprinkled with some silly humour, the 2023 remix has gone down a treat and become a bit of a meme.

We’ve already had the ‘If I Were A Fish‘ song trend this week, but apparently, that won’t be all.

The ‘One, Two, Buckle My Shoe’ Meme Explained

It all began when a teen uploaded a video of him ‘showing off his new shoes’ whilst singing the ‘one, two, buckle my shoe rhyme in a funny way.

Changing the lyrics a little, the song goes:

‘One, two, buckle my shoe. Three, four, buckle some more. Five, six, Nike Kicks.’

Comically, in the TikTok video, a fake buckle has been added to the Nike shoes, showing how shoes nowadays tend not to come with the feature.
