There's no easy way to say this: YouTube Rewind 2018 was ... pretty cringey. But YouTuber Jacksfilms made the best of it and created a surprisingly good song out of Will Smith's bizarre grunting. The resulting musical homage to Smith — The Fresh Prince of Bell-Air star, award-winning actor, and most recently, vlogger — is an absolute bop.

"YouTube's hot, but he made it hotter," Jacksfilms raps, with a lighthearted jab at the awkward fact that YouTube Rewind 2018 is the second most disliked video in the site's history.

But maybe not for long: It's well on its way to beating Justin Bieber's "Baby" in dislikes. At the time of writing, a live count of the two videos shows YouTube Rewind 2018 just over 260,000 dislikes behind "Baby."

Have fun getting the sound of Smith's grunts out of your head!
