‘Planet of the Bass’ fans are furious with creator for using a different woman in full-length music video: 'Where is she?'
The parody music video for the fake Euro-pop song “Planet of the Bass” has found a rare multi-social media platform virality after being seemingly posted everywhere on TikTok, Twitter and even Tumblr. Fans love the very accurate homage to the ’90s and “almost correct English” lyrics — and they especially love Audrey Trullinger, who plays Ms. Biljana Electronica alongside comedian Kyle Gordon.
But the tides may have turned after Gordon posted a preview of the full-length music video he plans to put out on Aug. 15.
Gordon added in the caption that it was filmed in Croatia — a departure from the original backdrop of the Occulus in downtown Manhattan — but did not acknowledge that an entirely different woman was being featured throughout. Instead of Trullinger, it’s Mara Olney playing Ms. Biljana Electronica.
Social media was not happy.

ME: …anyway, Kyle Gordon put out a new "Planet of the Bass" video he filmed in Croatia, but people are mad because there's a new girl in it. She's a brunette. People liked Biljana Electronica and nobody knows where she went.

"So Kyle Gordon released a new video of 'Planet of the Bass' recorded in Croatia, but he dared to replace Biljana Electronica who is responsible for the original video going viral, and the Internet is upset and asking him to delete the second video and bring back Biljana …" pic.twitter.com/IRgA8UZwA0

While Gordon has not commented on the response or explained why he swapped actresses, some are arguing this is a deeply meta move honoring the ’90s Euro-pop bands that did the same thing.
Replacing a key member at the height of your popularity and ruining everything is peak Europop, this guy is actually a genius https://t.co/wpxhdK0B5g

The amount of people missing the whole bit about the new Planet of the Bass video replacing the girl unexpectedly with someone "worse" makes me SICK we should teach eurotrash in Western schools

“I’m getting absolutely dragged in the comment section,” Olney said in a recent Instagram Story. “I was told be to stoic, supermodel — act like I don’t give a s***. And that is what I did.”
In a comment on Gordon’s Instagram upload of the music video preview, Olney wrote in the “almost correct English” of her character: “Everybody hate me but what they do not understand is that in my country we have very old saying that make like this. These s*** words cannot break the bones and it must be stones and sticks to do so very well. World peace.”
