In a heartwarming and hilarious twist, a woman’s rendition of Missy Elliott’s iconic track “Work It” has taken the internet by storm, and even the legendary rapper herself couldn’t resist chiming in. If you’re in the mood for a laugh while your heart swells, let me tell you about this unforgettable performance.
Last month, during a picnic at Goddard Memorial State Park in Rhode Island, a community favorite named Sarah Thompson, who works at a local nursing and rehabilitation center, took the stage. With the mic in hand, she delivered a karaoke performance that was nothing short of spectacular. Honestly, I’m still trying to process how perfect this video is.
Thompson not only showcased her vocal talents but also brought her own flair to the song. She even incorporated a shofar, which she expertly played, and at one point, humorously pretended it was something quite different. Meanwhile, her friend casually strolled around with a plate of food, adding to the joyous atmosphere. Sarah’s impeccable timing with sound effects had everyone shook, and her rap skills were on point.
The video quickly gained traction on Facebook, eventually catching the attention of Missy Elliott. The rapper took to Twitter to express her admiration for Thompson’s tribute, saying, “I just found out I have a FUNKY WHITE SISTER😳😩😂🤣 for real doe😂🤣& she brought her home girl with her from da hood that keep tiptoeing in the background with a plate of food🤣 yo I’m done!😂 but she straight killed ‘Work It’ sound effects & all🙌🏾 I love it🔥🙌🏾.” Elliott’s keen eye for detail didn’t miss a beat, noting everything from the sound effects to the friend holding a “cup of noodles.”
Thompson’s viral moment isn’t a one-off; she regularly performs at karaoke nights, making this a part of her entertaining repertoire. It’s no surprise that social media has exploded with praise for her talent and charisma.
Honestly, Sarah, I think I speak for the whole internet when I say: can we get a rendition of “Get Ur Freak On” next? Please?
