Hootie Frutti

Anyone can get on and lip sync and whatever, cat's eye.

They sang a song called Hootie Fruity.

Hootie Fruity.

And the Hootie Fruity- Guess what it is.

Guess what the Hootie Fruity is.

It's a

squeeze box.

It's a squeeze box.

And she loves this song called Tutti Frutti or Hootie Frutti.

It's the worst song ever.

[laughs]

But as we're learning, catchphrase pop does have merit.

Their song Hootie Fruity follows a similar formula.

I'm so excited we're talking about this song because as a music historian, I'm thinking about what its antecedents might be as well.

And my mind immediately goes to Little Richard, Tootie Fruity.

I feel like that is the predecessor to Hootie Fruity, another song that is essentially a series of nonsense rhymes.

Of course, one can't help but draw the connection between Little Richard and Cat's Eye.

Nonsense words have been in pop since the

How about that?

nobody listens to me and i will i will get into that would you like to start we will get into that oh my god before we get into that though yet last night i went to the cat side concert

oh my god hootie fruity how was it i went to the hootie fruity concert

it was great i'm not gonna lie i was like why the fuck would i decide to do this the day after i come back from vegas no genuinely but it was amazing it was amazing so i went with gabby who does my nails and her niece sophia was 12 right and guys okay listen i have a lot of questions because they're very very sexual women you know like they're very yeah and there's not a single person over 12 years old in the crowd

so i was asking ali that because his daughter loves herself a hooty fruity moment like and i'm like she's 10 like

yeah yeah i

know when we were leaving she was like oh my god it was the best day of my life i've never been so happy it was just so amazing but i will say i know that's a little weird because they're like sexual whatever but to see all the young girls like collectively together being like gnarly and just like dancing i just feel like you in our room

hootie fruity i'm like i can't

Genuinely, what the hell?

Especially with them talking about hootie fruity, fruity, fruity, and the fruity, fruity on your tongue.

That's not for kids.

Ever since Gnarly worked well, it seems like Katseye's team found the perfect formula for Katseye songwriting.

Pinky up for a silent ad break in the music video so Daniela can eat True Fruit.

Why not have them eat Jollibee, watching themselves dance in lingerie? Dance almost naked in Hootie Fruity to promote Tic Tacs.

The girls stopped being artists and started being a public billboard for any brand that pays.

My favorite poem, I

think, by the way, just to sidetrack while you're pulling this up, is I think it's a new song by Cat's Eye called Hootie Fruity.

I

knew

you

were going to do this.

I think it might be Hootie Fruity.

That's the one that did it.

It was a touching way to celebrate the beauty of the Korean language, focusing on how everyday words can offer comfort and connection.

Meanwhile, Hyeongjun and the rest of CRAVITY are currently busy promoting their ninth mini-album, Sonorous, with its title track, Louder.

Rising rock band Can’t Be Blue just sold out both nights of their upcoming solo concert, Bluende, set for October 17th and 18th at Yonsei University’s Centennial Memorial Hall in Seoul.

The sold-out show comes on the heels of their stellar performance at the 2026 Busan International Rock Festival and the success of their September digital single, Fuckin Rockstar, which clearly fueled fan excitement for tickets.

[upbeat music]KATSEYE is proving that good music never really goes out of style, and their track Animal is the perfect example.

Even though it dropped two whole months ago, the song just climbed two spots to land at number forty-eight on Spotify's Weekly Top Songs Global chart, marking an impressive 11 straight weeks on the list.

Their stateside numbers are turning heads too, with Animal jumping 12 spots to hit number one hundred and twelve in the United States, while their title track, Hooty Fruity, is holding steady at number one hundred and fifty globally.

Over in the UK, both songs are performing well on the Official Singles Chart, with Animal at number seventy-nine and Hooty Fruity close behind at sixty-six.
