“She Matched the Energies”: Mom and Daughter Butcher the Birthday Song in Funny Duet, SA in Stitches

• A mom and daughter duo had Mzansi talking about them after giving a classic Happy Birthday tune an unexpected gospel-style twist
• What started as a sweet birthday celebration turned into comedy gold after the funny pair’s performance was posted on TikTok
• Social media users couldn’t get enough of their energy, finding the duo hilarious, with some calling the performance iconic and begging for more videos

A simple birthday sing-along turned into a funny moment after a mom and her nine-year-old daughter, Skyler, shared their humorous sides while celebrating her special day.

The mom, TikTok user @lalamanilallykutamakhume, shared the clip, and it went viral, attracting 20.8M views and thousands of comments from internet users who were rolling on the floor with laughter, thanking the duo for entertaining them.

A birthday song with a twist

In the clip, filmed in what looks like a residential parking area, a mom and her nine-year-old daughter, Skyler, are seen holding a stunning birthday cake together. The cake has a big number 9 candle glowing on top. Instead of the usual mellow birthday tune, the mom launched into an unexpected gospel version; her voice shaking like she was on stage at a church revival, but offbeat.

Her daughter didn’t miss a beat. With the confidence of a mini-performer, she jumped right in with backup vocals, mimicking the shaky tone like a true comedic partner-in-crime. They kept it going until the very end, where they shouted "hip-hip" and the nearby kids chimed in with a loud "hooray!"

SA loses it over the duet

The clip exploded when it landed on the TikTok platform, attracting 20.8M views, 2.1M likes, and 50K comments from social media users who found the pair hilarious. Many expressed that they were not expecting that performance, saying it caught them off guard in the best way.

Some loved how both mom and daughter were so in sync with the humour. Others praised Skyler, calling her a star and saying she understood the assignment like a queen.
