Soz Donald.
Childish Gambino has found himself at the centre of the latest viral Twitter meme - specifically, his 2016 song 'Redbone'.
Internet users have been 'remixing' the popular track by altering the sound of the original instrumental, and adding different effects, filters and noises.
The new versions are then posted with imaginative - and often hilarious - accompanying captions.
Some target particular artists and producers, including 'Bad & Boujee' rapper Lil Uzi Vert.

A number of users dubbed other songs in an attempt to trick listeners.

There's even an entire Twitter account dedicated solely to 'Redbone' memes, just in case there wasn't enough for you here.
At the time of writing (25th May), Childish Gambino is yet to comment on the viral craze.
