The search for the defining song of the lockdown era is over.
Trained musicians and celebrities can stand down, novelty remixes can be cast aside.
An 8-year-old girl from the US has claimed the crown with an ode to curiosity, aliens, astronauts and... your butthole.
Over the weekend, Los Angeles mum Lisa Rieffel-Dunn shared a video of her daughter Jolee performing her original composition I Wonder What's Inside Your Butthole and the internet can't get enough.
The lyrics, spare but loaded with youthful scientific enquiry, read:
I wonder what's inside your butthole
Maybe there is astronauts?
Maybe there is aliens?
All inside your butthole
What's inside your butthole?
I always want to know

Jolee's mum told Buzzfeed that the song was an adorable attempt to delay bedtime, writing that "the one-leg pushed-up on the PJs are a tell-tale indicator that she's at the end of the line, way past bedtime, and really needs to sleep".
"Jolee has always been super performative and the funniest person I have ever known," she said.
"She is always making up songs, and lyrics are her strong suit."
The song has now racked up over 5 million views on Twitter, but Jolee's mother thinks that her daughter won't be concerned with the number.
"Jolee will ponder that for a moment, then ask, 'Did Doja Cat see it?' which is her only barometer for fame," Rieffel-Dunn told Buzzfeed.
While Doja Cat may not have responded, other have lavished praise on the 20 second work genius, with Paramore singer Hayley Williams saying the song made her self-conscious about her own work.
Some attempted to gild the lily by adding their own remixes.
Others noted that the quality of Jolee's songwriting showed maturity beyond her years.
