When Skrilla released his hit song, “Doot Doot,” he likely never anticipated the impact it would have on today’s generation and media. From NFL touchdown celebrations to a hilarious South Park episode, the phrase “six seven” has become a viral meme that is widespread across social media platforms.
The phrase originates from Skrilla’s drill rap song ‘Doot Doot (6 7),’ where the lyric ‘6-7’ is repeated throughout the track. Skrilla released the song on Dec. 1, 2024, and the meme became popular and remained relevant throughout 2025.
The meme also gained traction with basketball stars LaMelo Ball and Paige Bueckers, who often referenced the number in interviews and celebrations.
People often find the phrase interesting because there is no hidden, deep meaning behind it. It is often said for no apparent reason. It makes the “six seven” meme appealing because simplicity, there’s no hidden meaning or complex backstory. It’s a phrase said purely for its sound and the spontaneous humor it generates.
From students to even staff members, the phrase has found its way to the hallways of Casey County High School.
Evan Collins, a sophomore at CCHS, even noted it’s “everywhere” in the school.
“No matter where you are, if you hear the numbers 6 and 7 repeated after each other, someone is most likely going to make a six-seven joke,” he said, noting that he finds himself taking part in the phenomenon from time to time.
67 continues to illustrate how a simple lyric and number can grow into a viral cultural phenomenon from virtually nothing.
Arionna Kelley, a senior at CCHS, stated that “six seven” has even changed the way she and other students speak, adding a playful and spontaneous element to everyday interactions.
“If you hear the number 6 or 7, you can assume there’ll be some laughter in the classroom,” she said.
