Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

Oh No (TikTok Remix)Capone

That catchy track with the “Oh no” phrase that you often hear as BGM in YouTube Shorts for fails and mishaps—its remix was crafted by the rapper Capone.

He’s well known for his work in the duo Capone-N-Noreaga, but he’s also active as a solo artist; his 2005 album Pain, Time & Glory reached No.

R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

This track boldly samples a classic 1960s girl-group hit, blending the original’s wistful melody with trap-style beats to create an irresistibly addictive vibe.

The original lyrics lament a lost love, but when fragments of them are used as a prelude to mishaps, they’ve become a go-to BGM that makes viewers laugh.

Since it’s beloved as the soundtrack for the moment you wait for the “punchline” in short videos, why not enjoy the contrast with the mood of the source material?
