The viral Helicopter Helicopter song clip repeating parakofer parakofer, from the Fazlija track Helikopter, used for spinning and flying memes on TikTok.

This clip loops a cheerful male vocal chanting helicopter helicopter over a bouncy folk pop beat, followed by the rhyming parakofer parakofer line that makes it instantly catchy. The singing is repetitive, upbeat and slightly absurd, with the words tumbling out in a singalong rhythm that sticks in your head after one listen. It feels playful rather than serious, turning any ordinary spinning object, pet or person into a joke aircraft. The contrast between the dramatic delivery and the silly repetition is what makes viewers smile and replay it.

The sound comes from Helikopter by Bosnian singer Fazlija, built around the repeated helikopter refrain that English speaking listeners heard and typed as helicopter helicopter parakofer parakofer. It spread widely on TikTok in late 2021 as users filmed pets, toys and themselves spinning in circles to the chant. The misheard lyrics became part of the joke, repeated in captions and comments far beyond the original song. It is still used because the loop is short, recognisable from the first second, and fits any rotating movement.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the first helicopter helicopter right as your subject starts to spin or lift off, then let parakofer parakofer land on the fastest rotation. Keep the original beat underneath, avoid voiceover over the chant, and cut before the loop repeats twice.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Add to a cat spinning on a chair video.
  • Soundtrack a toy helicopter taking off indoors.
  • Use when someone twirls around in an office chair.
  • Drop under drone footage circling a house party.
