In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Wap Bap” is a rare card of the German Memes pack, number 183 of the collection, and the 39th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Wap Bap” meme mean?
The meme is used to mock a song seen as bad but weirdly catchy, or to tease someone caught humming a tune considered embarrassing. People bring it up sarcastically whenever a track flops critically while still staying popular. It became a well-known reference in German YouTube humor, symbolizing a hit that splits opinion between mocking rejection and commercial success.
Where does the “Wap Bap” meme come from?
In May 2017, German YouTuber Bibi, real name Bianca Heinicke, released her first single, "How It Is (Wap Bap...)", under the name "Bibi H." The track, written years earlier by Sam Sommer and Dave Knight, came out through the Warner Music label and reached the top ten charts in Germany and Austria. Despite that commercial success, the "Wap Bap" onomatopoeia from the chorus quickly became a target of widespread mockery among internet users, who found it laughable, to the point that the video turned into one of the most heavily criticized releases among German-language channels at the time.
