The clip emerges just days after the singer’s biggest hit ‘Dance Monkey’ was on the “do not play” list of Wednesday star Jenny Ortega.

The statement that Ms Ortega has banned the song from her home made international headlines.

“I’m not big on pop. A couple of years ago, there was a song out called Dance Monkey,” the actress began, referencing Tones & I’s song.

“If anyone ever played that in my house, they’re instantly being kicked out.”
