“More Than Just Unleaded”: Engen Employees’ Fun 'Pitch Perfect' Dance Has Mzansi Loving Them

• Three employees at Engen Belladonna in Mbombela, Mpumalanga, recreated the iconic Pitch Perfect Bellas performance
• The video got thousands of reactions, with people obsessing over the very different energy each of the three men brought
• Mzansi said the clip was exactly the kind of content they needed, with many calling for Engen's head office to turn it into a national advert

Three petrol attendants in Mpumalanga had SA completely hooked after their TikTok page @engenbelladonna posted a video on 16 February 2026. The clip showed the three men in full Engen uniform standing outside the forecourt, one in front and two behind. The three men launched into a full lip-sync and dance performance of the Barden Bellas' iconic Regionals mashup from the 2012 film Pitch Perfect. They shared the fun rendition with the message:

"It's all about the performance! 💃⛽"

The man at the front clearly had been waiting for his moment. He kicked things off by pretending to blow a whistle before going all in on the choreography. He even matched every move with total commitment. The two behind him told a different story. One tried to give it his all. The other looked like he had been pulled into the performance and was doing his best to get through it with minimal effort and maximum dignity. The difference between the team of three made the whole thing even funnier.

Pitch Perfect is a 2012 comedy film following a college a cappella group called the Barden Bellas. The film became a hit because of its energy and humour. The Regionals mashup, which opens with the Ace of Base track The Sign, is one of the most well-known moments in the movie.
