Boys are taking over Twitter.

Lizzo's undeniable bop "Boys," an anthem to universal thirst, went viral on TikTok last month as users showed off the beautiful boys in their lives.

As Lizzo chanted, "I like big boys, itty bitty boys, Mississippi boys, inner city boys," TikTok users panned from pet to pet, showing off their beloved fur babies in different outfits.

When people began circulating the "Boys" TikTok videos across social media, Twitter users adapted it to their platform in the form of threads.

In one of the first threads to adapt the TikTok meme, Twitter user @price_zach posted a thread of Lizzo's "Boys" as lizards.

Others picked it up, and posted their own versions.

Here's Lizzo's "Boys" but with Danny Devito.

And horses, but as Lizzo's "Boys."

How could we forget Paul Rudd, the eternal pretty boy?

Even cats fit into the song.

Jeff Goldblum may be a daddy, but he still counts as a boy!

Here's a "Boys" thread about presidential candidates running in the 2020 election.

And the song wouldn't be complete without acknowledging everyone's childhood heartthrobs: Disney Channel boys.

In the words of Lizzo herself, "Boys! Make a girl go crazy!"
