How it works

From photos to the trend in three steps

The Smalltown Boy dance meme shows two cats dancing upright in a sunny garden: one touches its headphones, the other covers its eyes, then they dance side by side. Creators swap in their own pets, friends and characters.

  1. 01

    Add your photos

    Add one clear photo for Gray cat role and Orange cat role. A well-lit photo with the face fully visible works best.

  2. 02

    The performance becomes yours

    The original video is rebuilt shot by shot with your cast: same moves, camera and timing, with your characters’ faces, hair and bodies.

  3. 03

    Post it with the sound

    Download the silent clip and a still, then add the trending sound in TikTok or Reels from the start of the clip.

Guide

Making your Smalltown Boy AI video

What each photo becomes, what each length costs and how to post the result.

The roles

  • Photo 1: Gray cat role — wears the headphones.
  • Photo 2: Orange cat role — dances beside it.

Lengths and credits

  • 7s · First close-up — 229 credits Standard, 471 HD.
  • 21s · Complete dance — 719 credits Standard, 1,479 HD.

Start with the first close-up (7s) to check the likeness, then make the longer version.

Format

Vertical 9:16, ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Adding the sound

The download is silent. When you post, add “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat from the TikTok, Instagram or CapCut sound library. Start the sound from the first frame so the beat matches.

Tips for this template

  • The first photo takes the headphone role. The second dances beside it.
  • Both roles dance upright. For pets, a photo facing the camera gives the model the clearest view of the face and markings.

FAQ

Smalltown Boy video questions

Still unsure? Email support@aivideotrends.net.

Where did the Smalltown Boy cat dance meme come from?

The soundtrack is Bronski Beat’s 1984 song “Smalltown Boy.” The scream-and-swap dance format traces to a 2026 video of two human dancers; an AI remake with two cats helped it spread in October 2026. The cats are not from the song’s original music video.

Which photos do I need?

Two photos, one per role: the first photo becomes the gray-cat role, the second becomes the orange-cat role. Use a clear, well-lit photo with one subject: a person, a pet or a character illustration. Full body or waist-up works best, with the face fully visible and no sunglasses or heavy filters. People, pets and original characters all work.

Can I try it cheaply first?

Yes. This template has a short opening option that costs far fewer credits, so you can check both characters before making the complete video. Standard quality is the cheapest way to test.

Does the video keep the original sound?

The download is silent. Add the trending sound from TikTok, Instagram or CapCut when you post, starting from the first frame of the clip, and it lines up with the original timing.

Is this affiliated with the original creators?

No. This is an independent tool, not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by the original creators, artists, labels or rights holders.

How much does a video cost?

The price depends on the template and its length. Where a short opening is offered, it costs up to 229 credits in Standard (480p); a complete video costs up to 980. HD (720p) costs about twice as much. The exact price is shown before you generate. Credits come in one-time packs, no subscription. New accounts get 300 free credits, enough for one Standard opening where available, or usable toward a longer video. Purchased credits are valid for 12 months; free credits for 30 days.

How long does it take?

Usually 3–8 minutes for a short opening and 6–25 minutes for a complete video, depending on its length. HD adds a few minutes, and busy periods can take longer. You can close the tab: the video keeps rendering and is saved to your account.

What happens if a generation fails?

Credits are only held while your video renders. If it fails for any reason, including a technical error or content moderation, the held credits go straight back to your balance.

Can I use photos of other people?

Only with their permission, and never images of anyone under 18. Don’t present generated videos of real people as genuine footage or as an endorsement. See our Terms of Service for the full rules.

Do I need an account?

You can browse every template without one. To generate or buy credits, sign in with Google. It keeps your videos and credits in one place across devices.
