In a recent viral Reddit video, a catchy tune has sparked a lively debate: should this be Reddit's official anthem? The song's whimsical lyrics, "La la la la la la la la la la la la. We're busy doing nothing, working the whole day through, trying to find lots of things not to do," perfectly capture the essence of the platform's procrastination culture.

The video features a playful melody with lyrics that resonate with many Redditors: "We're busy going nowhere. Isn't it just a crime? We like to be unhappy, but we never do have the time." This line has particularly struck a chord, as one user pointed out, "That’s the trick of it though, Redditors DO find the time to be unhappy."

Some Redditors have shared personal connections to the song. One commented, "That is a personal little song I often sing to myself... that and 'If I Only Had A Brain'." Another user mentioned nostalgic memories, "I watched those old Bing Crosby movies with my mom," adding a touch of sentimentality to the discussion.

The community has been buzzing with references and humorous takes. One user humorously noted, "Bro's whistle almost popped Gandalf's eardrum," while another drew a pop culture parallel, "I didn't know Patrick Stewart played Gandalf!"

A particularly interesting comment linked the song to a broader cultural context: "Here in 🇲🇾, we have Bujang Lapok Saga (all in B&W) took inspo from these movies. I can see many resemblances including the choreographies." This highlights how the song's charm transcends cultures and eras.

However, not everyone agrees this should be the official anthem. One user suggested an alternative with a classic internet twist: "Nah, if Reddit had a theme song, [It'd be this one](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=OzdfE3DkG-D7Yyc4)."

The song's catchy nature hasn't gone unnoticed, "First time hearing the song and it's kinda catchy," commented one viewer. Another user even identified a commercial connection, "Was this used in an ad or something? I've 100% heard the song (was able to sing along) but never once seen this clip. Edit: Found it. [McDonald’s](https://youtu.be/YbPwWFvCEdY)."

While some argue the song has "too many references to the outdoors for it to be an anthem for redditors," others believe its playful yet poignant lyrics make it an ideal candidate.

Whether or not this song becomes the official Reddit anthem, it has undoubtedly brought joy and nostalgia to many, sparking lively discussions and bringing the community together. What do you think? Could this be the anthem Reddit deserves?

Too many references to the outdoors for it to be an anthem for redditors.
