It all started when Universal Music Group began removing their catalog of songs from TikTok. Overnight, millions of videos were suddenly muted. In a frenzy, creators have been looking for ways to replace the music that usually permeates our feeds. Through UMG's decision to take down all copyrighted material from the platform, TikTok creators found a loophole: they could still feature the GLEE versions of their favorite songs. This is possible because the show's soundtracks were released by Columbia Records.
This loophole has proven fortunate for Chris Colfer, the actor behind the fan-favorite character Kurt Hummel. Among his various covers from GLEE, a specific song from the first season has captured the attention of TikTokers globally. Resurfaced from season 1, episode eighteen, “Laryngitis,” Kurt takes the stage to perform his rendition of 'Rose’s Turn'.
In the viral TikToks, the musical moment arrives when Colfer sings the lyrics “all that work, and what did it get me?” Creators are using the sound to share a moment when they've put in effort, but the results didn't quite meet expectations.
Since the platform's rise to global fame in 2020, TikTok users have repeatedly drawn inspiration from revived GLEE audio and video snippets. Jane Lynch's epic one-liners, still relatable to everyday situations, have been a major source. However, the emergence of 'Rose's Turn' might be the reason we all needed to finally start binging GLEE again.
