# E E Ei E E Ei, also known as E E Ei I'm on Vacation, is a misheard lyric video meme in which a steak with cartoon eyes and teeth sings Dirty Heads' song 'Vacation' as 'E e ei, Imon vagayxon.'

By June 10, 2024, the associated TikTok sound carried more than 11,700 posts. ## Origin TikToker @eeeioficial uploaded the first E E Ei video on April 17, 2024, showing a slab of raw steak with eyes and teeth singing the garbled lyrics[1]. Hours later the same day, @eeeioficial posted a second clip set to the TikTok sound from the first upload, and that one reached over 216,400 plays and 17,500 likes within two months[2]. On June 10, 2024, the @eeeioficial TikTok account was deleted for reasons that were never publicly stated[3]. - **Platform:** TikTok - **Creator:** @eeeioficial - **Date:** 2024 ## Overview At the center of the format is Charlie the Steak, a character lifted from a 2013 iOS mobile game and given cartoon eyes and teeth so the piece of raw meat appears to lip-sync the chorus of 'Vacation' by Dirty Heads[1]. The misheard version goes 'E e ei, Imon vagayxon, Evrizingou dei, Cus ailov mawackupaxien,' standing in for the real lyrics 'Ay ay ay, I'm on vacation, every single day, 'cause I love my occupation'[2]. Most edits either show the steak singing over a plain background or layer the audio and image onto something unrelated, such as a phone screen flooded with E E Ei clips[4]. Commentary groups the bit with other singing object memes like Oi Oi Oi Red Larva and Gegagedigedagedago with the Roblox Chicken Nugget[3]. ## How to Use To make an E E Ei edit, creators typically use the TikTok sound from @eeeioficial's original video, often pairing the audio with Charlie the Steak or layering it over an unrelated scene like a phone screen or another viral clip[8]. Some iterations animate the steak through the Revive App so the meat appears to lip-sync in real time[5]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is E E Ei?
