If you’re blessed enough to be on “Berries and Cream” TikTok, you’ll already be familiar with this viral trend that has been playing on repeat in our heads for weeks.
If you have no idea what we’re talking about, well – a really popular trending audio on TikTok lately has been the one that goes “Berries and cream, berries and cream, I’m a little lad who loves berries and cream.”
And if you’re wondering where this audio came from or what the song is, this article has all the answers!
Read on for a quick overview of the Berries and Cream TikTok trend and sound, featuring where to find the original, what the exact lyrics are, and more.
A Brief History of the Berries and Cream TikTok Trend/Audio
While many versions of the Berries and Cream TikTok audio now exist, the most popular one is this one here, originally uploaded on August 27.
It’s an upload of a dance tutorial of the “Little Lad Dance” made famous by a Starburst commercial in 2007, which was of course used to advertise the new “Berries and cream” Starburst candies.
You can watch the original 33 second commercial here, and the Little Lad dance tutorial here.
While many millennials grew up with this catchy Berries and Cream tune, it faded into obscurity over the years, until this past summer, when its popularity was revived and, in classic TikTok fashion, spiralled quickly out of control.
The Berries and Cream song really began to take over TikTok in early September, when TikTokers started to use it in videos about old timey/historical aesthetics (usually Middle Ages or Colonial), often accompanied with the Little Lad dance.
Here are some popular examples of the Berries and Cream trend:
- This hilarious video showing the Berries and Cream aesthetic pre-brushing out of curls
- This perfect lip sync to the Berries and Cream sound
- This Tiktoker who has perfected the Berries and Cream lad aesthetic
And when the Little Lad joined TikTok himself on Sept 3, it’s safe to say the platform basically imploded.
Known now as @thereallittlelad, he has gone on to post several videos, including collabs with famous TikTokers like @nevschulman, reactions to popular Berries and Cream TikTok videos, and he even now has a YouTube channel.
Most recently, he has even launched a Berries and Cream TikTok Speed Challenge here.

NOTE: The most popular part usually referenced in Berries and Cream viral videos is in bold.
When I was a little lad
If I wanted berries and cream,
Mummy made me do the little lad dance.
Now mummy’s gone, but I still like to do the little lad dance.
And you might too!
You just run in place. Nice form!
Clap your hands. Elegant!
Touch your left heel with your right, and your right heel with your left.
Haha!
Gesture to yourself, berries and cream. Whee!
With all those together, it looks a little something like this.
[Do the dance]
Look, wonderful!
Now sing the berries and cream song.
Berries and cream, berries and cream
I’m a little lad who loves berries and cream.
Up the octave, go for it!
Berries and cream, berries and cream
I’m a little lad who loves berries and cream.
Easy peasy!
Nice and easy.
Light and breezy.
Mm delicious. And that’s it!
Ah, that was it! Ahaha. Ahahaha.
