Everybody loves singing in a car. With a couple of friends, it's officially a carpool karaoke session!
But a TikTok video that went viral recently shows more than that.
The video shows a Malaysian Chinese flawlessly nailing a Bahasa Indonesian song with a wide emotional range that can even rival the original singer.
Earlier this week, TikTok user @abeyjoe0 uploaded a video of his friend singing Cinta Sampai Mati by Indonesian singer and YouTuber Raffa Affar.
The song is currently a popular 'sound' on the video-sharing platform.
"Karoke lagu Cina ✖; Karoke lagu Melayu ✔ (Singing Chinese songs ✖; singing Malay songs ✔)," read the caption in the video.
In the post, @abeyjoe0 wrote that he has a Chinese friend, and when the friend is feeling 'broken' while listening to a hit song, all he can do is just play along.

In the 37-second video, it shows the karaoke singer serenading not just the people in the car, but also an individual in another vehicle
The man with tattoos is holding a cup of sundae while singing his heart out.
The chorus that he is singing narrates how much the singer wants his love interest to know that he has prayed for the whole night that they could be together and that his love for her is eternal and loyal.

"My Chinese friend always asked me to sing Sandiwara Cinta. So annoying," a netizen said.
