Scott Frenzel's 'Midnight Snack' is out, and viewers want the sound for their own shorts
The excited announcement short has pulled far ahead of the full music video, which went up the same day.
Why this story? The video is running at 114,512 views a day, 6.2 times its usual pace (18,535).
my new song midnight snack is out!! ahhh!!! 🧁🥨
Last week Scott Frenzel was only teasing a new song. On October 2 it arrived, under a title that sounds like a text sent with shaking hands: "my new song midnight snack is out!! ahhh!!! 🧁🥨".
The short has been on his channel for four days and is close to 250,000 views. It is now gathering them about six times faster than it did at the start, while the channel as a whole is running quieter than usual. Scott also posted the full music video, directed by the photographer credited as Holy Smoke Photography. It has done well, but the quick announcement short is the version people keep landing on. A second teaser from the same day, "hehe go check it out 👀", has also sped up.
The comments explain a good part of it. Many of the people writing there are using the song in their own videos and asking Scott to stop by and comment on them. One viewer says the sound turned up in their feed just before they found the short itself. Another caught the premiere and then added an excited edit: Scott had liked the comment. Several others mention the camera work and the transitions.
Scott has kept the release going in his usual style, with more shorts through the weekend, a live hangout on Monday and, on Tuesday, "and I bet I can 😏", shot by the same photographer as the video.
