【Dear Utol (2025): Week 8 Highlights Episode 45】

This is Dear Utol (2025): Week 8 Highlights Episode 45just a wild guess, but are you bored in your house right now? So is Curtis Roach, whom we all have to thank for TikTok's unofficial self-quarantine anthem: "Bored in the House."

Roach, a Detroit-based musician, posted his song to TikTok on March 4, according to Know Your Meme, where it quickly became the app's premier track for being bored in the house. Since a lot of people are bored in the house (in the house bored) at the moment, it's now pretty much inescapable: Tyga and Charli D'Amelio have both made videos with the sound, and people are using it as a soundtrack for everything from dances to weird crafts to dropping eggs from a balcony onto slices of peanut butter toast.

But while the song is incredibly versatile, especially in a time when millions of people are staying at home, there's one thing it can't do: actually cure boredom.

"I'm glad y'all like my 'in the house and I'm in the house bored' song," Roach said in another TikTok. "Doesn't change the fact that I'm still bored in the house and I'm in the house bored."
