*NSYNC's Lance Bass, Justin Timberlake hilariously take on yearly 'It's Gonna Be May' meme
We hope we never have to say "Bye Bye Bye" to this meme.
It's May 1, so, of course, members of the boy band *NSYNC acknowledged what has now become a time-honored tradition: the "It's Gonna Be May" meme.
As a bit of a refresher, when the group recorded their 2000 No. 1 hit "It's Gonna Be Me," Justin Timberlake pronounced "me" as "may." In the age of the internet, the moment has become a viral and yearly joke.
Timberlake took to TikTok on Tuesday to share a video that starts with a woman asking, "What's a word you pronounced incorrectly one time and it still haunts you till this day?"
Cut to the singer thinking for a second and then saying, "Me."
Lance Bass, meanwhile, posted a video of himself giving his husband, Michael Turchin, a card. When Turchin opens it, he reads, "Roses are red, April is gray, but when you wake up tomorrow..." he stops reading and says, in a horrified tone, "Oh no!"
We then see Bass with a the ramen noodles -- previously in Turchin's bowl -- on his head, mimicing Timberlake's hairstyle in the 2000s, and lip-synching, "It's gonna be May."
"POV: your friend mispronounces a word once and now it’s a national holiday," Bass wrote in the caption. "Happy #itsgonnabemay Day!"
We hope we never have to say "Bye Bye Bye" to this meme.
