Comedian's Nonsense Song About Sitting Goes Viral, Sparks Some Genuinely Good Music
Brian Jordan Alvarez is an actor and comedian whose film and TV roles include "M3GAN" and "Will & Grace" — but some of his best work takes place over on his social media accounts, where he uses face filters and voices to create brilliantly weird and much-loved characters.
One of these characters is TJ Mack, a singer-songwriter with a huge mouth and an indiscernible accent. Mack's latest offering, an ode to sitting — which he explains is the "opposite to standing" and "running around" — went viral after being shared just a few days ago.

Musicians across TikTok, Instagram and Twitter have responded to Alvarez's nonsense song with remixes and covers that are actually, genuinely, pretty good. Enjoy.
