# Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire Guy Singing Anucatittawan On Smule Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire Guy is a viral December 2022 karaoke clip of Smule user AnucAtittawan singing Nat King Cole's 'The Christmas Song' with heavily mispronounced English lyrics. The video blew up on TikTok, spawned phonetic transcriptions in the comments, and got dropped into exploitable video templates. ## Overview Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire Guy, also called the Chess Nuss Guy or Man Singing 'Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire,' is a viral karaoke recording of Smule user Anuc (@AnucAtittawan) covering Nat King Cole's 'The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You).' The clip is famous for Anuc's phonetic, heavily accented take on the English lyrics, which turns the opening line into something closer to 'chess nuss roasting on a open fire[1].' The recording became a mini-genre of its own once TikTok viewers began transcribing the vocals in the comments and pasting the audio into exploitable meme formats. Anuc himself is a prolific Smule user based in Italy, with more than 16,700 followers and over 122,000 karaoke recordings on the app as of late 2022[2]. He often records duets with a Smule partner named 13336hera, who reposts their collaborations to TikTok under the handle @heraloani[3]. ## How It Spread After the first viral post, @heraloani kept mining the pair's Smule catalog for TikTok content. On December 11th, 2022, she reposted the second half of the 'Chestnuts Roasting' duet, pulling in around 184,800 plays and 34,200 likes in five days[5]. The next day she posted their cover of Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You,' which reached about 795,200 plays and 158,600 likes in four days[3]. The clips jumped from TikTok to Facebook, iFunny and Twitter within days, and remix accounts started splicing Anuc's vocals into other formats[1]. On December 15th, 2022, TikTok user @alexis.rinae dropped the 'Chestnuts Roasting' audio into the Yeah I'd Like To Solve The Puzzle template, and that edit alone racked up roughly 90,100 likes in a single day[6]. The same day, TikTok user @deborahann.mcmann posted a fabricated screen recording of a Facebook post to the group 'I love CHRISTMAS,' inventing a backstory that Anuc was actually her Argentinian pen pal named Tomàs. That hoax post pulled about 1.6 million plays and 263,100 likes within 24 hours, and phonetic 'translations' of Anuc's lyrics filled the comments under every repost[1]. ## How to Use The core joke is the mismatch between the well-known Nat King Cole lyrics and Anuc's phonetic pronunciation, so most remixes lean on the audio rather than the visual. People typically pair the isolated vocal with subtitle overlays that spell out what Anuc sounds like he is singing, drop the clip into reaction-style templates such as Yeah I'd Like To Solve The Puzzle, or cut between the original Nat King Cole recording and Anuc's version for a side-by-side gag[6]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire Guy Singing Anucatittawan On Smule?
