# Hey Good Lookin Mmmbadayedeyo Mmmbadayedeyo is a TikTok trend pairing clips from the 1982 Ralph Bakshi animated film Hey Good Lookin' with Ummet Ozcan's techno track 'Xanadu.'

The trend gets its name from the phonetic interpretation of the Mongolian throat singing vocals in the song, spelled various ways including Umbadaydeyo, Mmm Badayedeyo, and Umm Badayedeyo[2]. The animated film is set in 1950s Brooklyn and follows Vinnie, the leader of a gang called the Stompers, along with his friend Crazy Shapiro and their girlfriends Roz (Rozzie) and Eva[2]. TikTokers typically use clips showing Vinnie combing his hair back and popping his collar, turning these scenes into reaction content about getting ready for dates or dressing well.
