Tom Cardy's "H.Y.C.Y.BH" hides its punchline in the initials: Have You Checked Your Butthole. The Australian musical comedian made it entirely alone, writing, recording and producing it in his home studio in July 2021 while putting together his debut EP, Artificial Intelligence, which followed on 6 August 2021.
It sits in C minor at 120 BPM, a straight-faced groove for a deeply silly question, and Cardy launched it on TikTok, with a video of him performing it in that home studio going up on YouTube on 3 July. Critics were in on the joke: Joe Dolan of The Music named it one of the month's best songs and compared its big question to "What's Going On?". There was even a metal keyring to promote it.
