TikTok Song Celebrates Love in Michigan’s U.P.

Sure, KISS might sing about Detroit Rock City, and Kid Rock is hanging out All Summer Long, but I don't think I've ever heard a song about Michigan like this one.

TikTok Song About Love in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

I was doing my usual TikTok doom-scrolling recently and the algorithm did what it does best: provide me with videos I like. The latest video TikTok suggested that did indeed tickle my fancy was a video from Scoochie Boochie.

On the name alone I was already hooked, but it was the song that kept me interested.

Scoochie Boochie was singing about finding love in dah U.P. eh!

Lyrics That Are Pure Michigan Gold

The song, titled The U.P., features some perfectly Pure Michigan-style lines...

Lyrics like, "And if you like lakes... great", "It's the land of euchre and cougars. And the other kind of cougars... REAL COUGARS., and "Mackin' on bae up in Mackinac Bay".

Honestly, these are golden bars he's dropping. And it's because of that I wanted to share this awesome song. Scoochie shows off his love for Michigan in this funny and sassy song, and equally entertaining music video.

Where to Watch the Video

I will say, as the "cougar" lyrics above might suggest, some of this song is a little NSFW, so before you dive in, maybe be aware of where you are.
