oh why vs shape of you

The Shape of You was the most-streamed song of 2017, but it also sparked a wave of memes.

Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You became the most-streamed song in 2017, but it also sparked a wave of memes. One meme in particular involved superimposing the lyrics to his hit single over other popular images. These images included Star Wars characters, the Death Star, and video game character Bayonetta. The meme even made its way into politics when Donald Trump Jr. posted an image on Instagram featuring himself standing next to his father with the lyrics “I’ve been alone with you inside my mind/ I think about you all the time/ And I wonder how you feel about me too” superimposed over it.

Shape of You became so popular that even celebrities got in on the action. TV host Jimmy Fallon was one such celebrity who had fun with the song, creating a parody music video for it that features famous actors lip syncing to different parts of Sheeran’s hit single. Other stars featured in this video include Nicole Kidman, Liam Neeson, Hugh Jackman and many more.
