Thirst of the Week: Sitting by Brian Jordan Alvarez

It's the opposite of standing

Beyoncé’s Crazy in Love. Tinashe’s 2On. Willa Ford’s I Wanna Be Bad. What do all of these things have in common?

From the moment they came on the radio, it was obvious they were bonafide hits, slaying the charts, the clubs, and the iPod touches everywhere. History was made, and it’s going to be made again.

If the name Brian Jordan Alvarez sounds familiar to you—and if it doesn’t, my GOD you’re in for a treat—it’s because his work no doubt precedes him, as such you’ve probably seen this screenshot…

Which is from this video…

Which is from his 5-part web series The Gay & Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo, and it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in my life (it was very popular 7 years ago, so just keep that in mind)

But what has completely gathered me, wrapped me into a warm blanket, and served me a hot toddy, and has me SAT is his video that has blown up on Twitter to subsequent remixes on Spotify, and then Australian radio, and American radio. It’s so silly and good. Here’s the original TikTok

But the pièce de résistance is the actual Spotify version. Listen at your own risk (but also my advisement) because it’s going to be stuck in your head all week. May your weekend be blessed with sitting, because you deserve to relax.
