Resident Evil Welcome to Raccoon City Trailer Has The Internet Singing 4 Non Blondes

07.10.2021

4 Non Blondes were trending on social media after the trailer for Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City dropped today. The latest entry in the long-running video game movie adaptations sees things go back to basics with the popular setting of Resident Evil 1 and 2. However, the real star of this entire clip is the now-time-honored tradition of slowing down a popular song to use in a trailer for a big film. 90s buffs will instantly recognize the 1993 hit “What’s Up?”. Funny enough, earlier this year the music video for the hit surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube. Seeing as how Resident Evil really had a hold on the late 90s, the musical choice really hits. So, it’s just a banner day for nostalgia on social media. (But, really isn’t every day?) Check out the trailer down below:

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City released an official synopsis:

“Once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town. The company’s exodus left the city a wasteland…with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, the townspeople are forever…changed…and a small group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night.”

This is a wild take

What’s Up by 4 Non Blondes is the worst song of the 1990s & I will die on that musical hill pic.twitter.com/GAMmrwj2bE

COMEDY

All this is missing is “4 Non Blondes” playing in the background 😂 https://t.co/D3bECbd0J8

Not everyone is a fan

If someone isn’t doing this in the remake right now…

I don’t care what people say. The idea of mowing down a swarm of zombies while 4 Non Blondes is playing at full blast sounds like a good time to me.

Hard to argue

The funniest thing about that RE trailer is that everyone cares more about them using ‘What’s up?’ from 4 Non Blondes rather than the actual content.

That’s what you get when you use one of the foundational blocks of the internet as a track.https://t.co/ur3hiImgh9
