Gregory Brothers FINALLY Songify the “I Like Turtles” Kid

10-year-old Jonathan Ware made “I Like Turtles” an internationally popular catchphrase after nonsensically inserting the phrase into a conversation with a local news reporter in May of 2007. Ware was being interviewed at the Rose Festival in Portland, Oregon, after a reporter wanted to know about his zombie face paint.

Parodies and remixes abounded back in 2007, but the Gregory Brothers – the kings (and queen) of songification – had not taken on the project. Until NOW!

And as an added bonus, the Gregorys include a shoutout to their own, now-classic tenth episode of “Auto-Tune the News.” Check out the original video, featuring former Michigan Representative Pete Hoekstra ranting about turtle fences.
