A woman’s phone automatically made a cheery video from her car crash photos — and the result is morbidly hilarious

• iCloud turned photos of a woman’s car crash into a cheery video with the Vengaboys song “We Like to Party!” playing over it.
• The video went viral on Twitter. It’s morbidly hilarious.
• “I took it as a sign of the universe trolling me,” the woman told INSIDER.

On Christmas Eve, Karla, a woman living in Los Angeles, got into a car crash. She took photos of the damage to her car and videos of herself describing what happened, then put them in a folder for an insurance claim.

She tried to share the folder with her dad, but accidentally hit the “slideshow” button instead of the “copy iCloud link” button. iCloud turned the images into a video. As a backdrop, it used the upbeat late 1990s hit “We Like to Party!” by the Vengaboys.

“We like to party!” the refrain goes, played over Karla’s testimony about the accident. Karla posted the video to Twitter, where it went viral.

“I took it as a sign of the universe trolling me,” Karla told INSIDER in a Twitter direct message.

Karla told INSIDER she knew the song has been used as a meme. She purchased it months ago, but was bewildered that iCloud chose it as the soundtrack for her car crash.

“I have no idea why out of all of my songs in my phone it chose that. So I just thought it was ironic that such a party song would be background music to a really sucky situation,” she said. “I posted it on Twitter thinking just my friends were going to see how ridiculous it was and it went viral.”

People were shocked by the song’s horns in particular. No one was hurt in the crash, Karla said, but the combination between the song and horns gave the video a grim humor.

“It’s hilarious how when the damage is shown on the car the two horns in the song start blaring,” Karla said. “I just had to show the irony of my misfortunes with such an iconic song blasting in the background!”
