The Vengaboys, have sparked a new lockdown fitness trend on TikTok with the Up & Down Challenge.

Thousands of fans have already filmed themselves taking part in the challenge, which involves two people climbing on top of each other and carrying out synchronised movements that make them go ‘up and down’ – in time with the group’s classic track.

♬ Up & Down – Vengaboys

This isn’t the first time that one of the Vengaboys’ hits have taken over social media their banger Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!! returned to UK charts after a man from Gloucester inspired a spontaneous street party in his neighborhood by blasting the song out of his car speakers.

More recently, We’re Going To Ibiza! hit number one in Austria last year, after it became the protest song of choice against the Austrian government scandal that had played out in Ibiza.
