“In Their Heads, They’re Killing It”: Proudly SA Mlungus Get Down to Amapiano Song ‘Paris’

• Two South African men brought the Amapiano energy indoors, dancing to Paris by Mellow & Sleazy featuring Mbombi
• The pair threw down exaggerated moves and a dramatic kick while one somehow held his drink the entire time
• South Africans in the comments could not stop laughing at the duo's confidence despite being completely offbeat

Two South African men turned their living room into a dance floor and had the internet in stitches doing it. TikTok user @rick_watkins posted the clip on 27 September 2026, and it spread fast for all the right reasons. The video shows the pair going all out to the Amapiano hit Paris by Mellow & Sleazy featuring Mbombi, throwing themselves into the log drum beat with total commitment.

Their moves were big, their energy was bigger, and the rhythm? Entirely optional. At one point, one of the men launched into what viewers described as a dramatic Zulu-style kick, while somehow keeping his brandy and Coke perfectly intact throughout the whole performance. The person behind the camera could not hold back laughter, and neither could the thousands who watched online.
