Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" was transformed into "Frat Guy" by YouTube comedienne Katherine Ellis and it's guaranteed to make you LOL! Ellis drew upon some common fraternity tropes and stereotypes to hilariously re-work Billie Eilish's lyrics into a song that anyone who attended a college with an IFC organization can relate to. The song's "duh's" became "bruh's" and updated verses were dripping with hysterical frat shade.

For example, the track's chorus changed from:

So you're a tough guy / Like it really rough guy / Just can't get enough guy / Chest always so puffed guy / I'm that bad type / Make your mama sad type / Make your girlfriend mad tight / Might seduce your dad type / I'm the bad guy, duh

To:

I'm a tough guy / drinkin' Natty Lights guy / play beer pong all night / my Dad funds all my flights guy / I'm that swole type / Make your eyeballs roll type / love to haze my bros, right? / texting 'are you up?' type / I'm a frat guy, bruh

The parody currently has 401,034 views and counting!

In reaction to the enormous positive response garnered by the project, Katherine took to her video's YouTube comments to express gratitude and plug her social media profiles and merch.

Thank you for watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you all a lot it's kinda unreal. Please follow me on Instagram and check out my merch!!! You guys mean the world to me :)

This also happens to not be Katherine Ellis' first brush with viral fame, as her parody of Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" currently sits comfortably atop her channel with more than 2.7 million views.

In addition to "Bad Guy," Ellis has also produced parodies of Billie Eilish's "Bury A Friend" (called "Buried In Work"), Miley Cyrus' "Party In The U.S.A" (called "Don't Get Me Started On The U.S.A") and more. Take a look at her other videos published on YouTube here.

Eilish's "Bad Guy" is the fifth single from her debut album "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" and was released on March 29th 2019. It's currently the #2 highest selling single on Billboard's Hot 100 sales chart, only being blocked by Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" from the number one spot.
