Smalltown Boy AI

Smalltown Boy is a two-role dance set to Bronski Beat's 1984 song. One person, or one pet, grabs their head and screams into a wide lens while the other dances behind. They swap, then they dance side by side and reach toward the camera. You upload one photo per role. On the pages in Where to make it you do not write a prompt unless you leave the one-tap button and build the clip yourself.

Wikipedia's article on the song calls "Smalltown Boy" the debut single by the British synth-pop band Bronski Beat, released in the UK on 25 May 1984 by London Recordings, on the album The Age of Consent. The same article says the lyrics describe a young man who is bullied and decides to leave home, and it calls the song a gay anthem. The dance clips below are other people's posts. This page includes no clip we made.

The posts dated on this page are the two cat TikToks and one clothed human demo. MakeViral's template text describes an earlier duo at a red wooden fence, and Jump's page names an August 2026 Instagram dance plus a 2 October 2026 cat post. This page does not use those reels as dates. They are not on the timeline, and they are not the first date on this page.

The description starts "Fluffy and Moomoo heard Smalltown Boy and lost it" and includes #smalltownboy #bronskibeat #catdance. The post time is 2026-10-02 21:31:46 UTC and 2026-10-03 05:31:46 in Asia/Singapore. The file is HEVC, 1072 by 1936, 28.202 seconds, with an AAC audio track. The clip shows a ginger cat in front, paws on its head, and a black-and-white tuxedo cat behind, both in collars with bells, at a red wooden fence with ivy. A later moment shows both cats upright, side by side, paws raised, from a low angle. A still later moment is an end card, so the 28-second file runs longer than the dance. MakeViral's template page says this reel is labeled AI-generated on TikTok.

A second cat clip keeps the scream and the dance and moves them indoors.

The description is "#trend #smalltownboy #cat #natureathome #dancingcat". The post time is 2026-10-08 19:50:16 UTC and 2026-10-09 03:50:16 in Asia/Singapore. The file is HEVC, 720 by 1280, 21.014 seconds, with an AAC audio track. The clip shows a grey cat in front with both paws over its face and a brown tabby behind, in a living room. A later moment shows the grey cat in front and the tabby upright with paws raised, on a marble floor beside a white sofa. MakeViral's page says this reel is labeled AI-generated on TikTok too.

A public human version uses two clothed adults and shows the swap in the open.

Dreamina AI posted this at 2026-10-26T15:29:45.000Z, which is 26 October 2026 at 23:29 in Asia/Singapore. The text starts "The Smalltown Boy Dance Is Getting Out of Hand" and includes #SmalltownBoy #SmalltownBoyDance. The post lists the clip at 30.675 seconds. The file is H.264, 1080 by 1920, 30.743 seconds, with an AAC audio track. The clip shows a woman in a pink jacket and a lime top, hands on her head, mouth open, and a man behind her in an orange jacket, a blue T-shirt, and blue trousers, at a sunny plaza fountain. A later moment puts the man in front with his hands on his head and the woman behind him. Later moments are a production board. The board prints 0–7.1 seconds with Lila in front and Harrison behind, 7.1–14.2 seconds with the roles swapped, and 14.2–20 seconds with both in frame. Its sound line says the generated clip has no background music and that the original song goes on in the edit.

Use a two-photo page when you want the scream, the dancer behind, and the swap. Prices come from the product pages. Read the number on the button the day you generate.

MakeViral's output is a 14-second cut. The page says the dance in the reels runs about 21 seconds, and that its file keeps the 14 seconds from the second scream through the final lunge. Jump's file is 21 seconds and is the pet version. The Smalltown Boy Dance generator's file is 22 seconds and is aimed at two people.

MakeViral

Use this in the browser when you want either two pets or two people, a written shot list, and a 14-second vertical file. On the template you pick Pet or Human and tap once. You paste the prompt only if you leave that button.

Direct link: Smalltown Boy.

The hero says two photos, a 14-second clip with sound, 9:16, and no watermark. The button line says ready in up to several minutes, 213 credits. Photo 1 is the one who screams first. Photo 2 dances behind, then beside the first. For a pet, the page wants the whole body, ears to paws, one pet per photo. For a person, it wants waist-up or full body, face clear and turned to the camera, and the outfit from the photo.

The Pet row copies the @zefosik living-room reel. The Human row puts two people into the @fluffyfishlover red-fence reel, in their own clothes. Both rows print Seedance 2.5, 14 s, 720p, 9:16, and 213 credits on the prompt header. A comparison table on the same page says the Pet model is "Top-quality AI video models" and the Human model is Seedance 2.5. Pet's listed time is 5 to 15 minutes. Human's listed time is up to several minutes. The page says the clip comes with the reel's song and that you can turn the song off on the result screen. It also says the song belongs to its owners and that MakeViral gives you no rights to it.

The page says to use your own pets, or people and pets whose owners said yes. It says there is no watermark, and that a failed video gives its credits back. The people and pets shown as samples are described there as part of AI reels.

The template says one video is 213 credits, so the smallest one-time pack that covers it is $39.99 for 450 credits, with no subscription. On the pricing page, one-time packs are $9.99 for 100 credits, $13.99 for 150, $39.99 for 450, $64.99 for 850, and $129.99 for 1,900. New accounts start with 0 credits. Credits from a one-time pack never expire. Monthly Starter is $49.99 for 700 credits. Monthly Pro is $199.99 for 3,000 credits. The pricing page says a weekly plan adds credits every week. It does not print a weekly dollar amount. Check that plan on the pricing page before you subscribe. A video that fails gives its credits back. Checkout is marked Stripe.

Jump on the Trend

Use this in the browser when the two roles are your pets and you want a free preview still before the 21-second file. The page says it is the pet version. You do not write a prompt.

Direct link: Smalltown Boy Cats.

The lead says two cats on their hind legs at a red fence, screaming along to Smalltown Boy, and that the cats are yours. Photo 1 screams first. Photo 2 dances at the fence first. Then they trade places. The page also allows your cat and your dog, or your cat and a friend's cat. It asks for one clear face looking at the camera, and it says you can add up to three photos of each pet for a closer likeness. Badges on the form: free preview first, no sign-up, automatic refund if it fails. The footer says adults only. The rules line says everyone you upload is an adult who said yes, and that you only add your own pets.

The read-more prints the 21-second video with the song at 120 credits ($8.39), charged only when it is delivered. The FAQ says credits come in packs from $6.99 for 100. The Pro button prints $19.99 a month for 300 credits. Unused credits never expire and are refundable for 14 days. One FAQ line says the file is emailed in about 5 to 10 minutes. The making modal says about 10 to 20 minutes. Photos and videos are deleted after 30 days. The about block is marked Updated 31 Oct 2026.

Smalltown Boy Dance

Use this when you want the longer two-person file, about 22 seconds, with the swap written as three acts. The generator form is the front page of the site.

Direct link: Smalltown Boy Dance.

The hero says the 2026 trend, 22 seconds, two photos: one of you screams into the camera while the other dances behind, then you swap. Person A screams first. Person B dances behind, then screams. A control says "Use one photo for both of us." Quality is 480p for 100 credits or 720p for 200 credits. The format line says 9:16. The form says a sharp half-body or full-body photo, and that a close-up headshot can make the swap fail. Pets and toys are allowed, and the page says their results vary more than people's. The consent line says you only use photos of yourself or of people who agreed, and that the video is AI-generated, not real footage. Render time on the form is 6 to 10 minutes. The file line says a 22-second video with the original sound.

The beat sheet on the page is Act 1, 0–7 seconds, A screams and B dances; Act 2, 7–14 seconds, they swap; Act 3, 14–22 seconds, a high angle, a ground-level shot, then both reach for the camera. The pricing block says pay once, no subscription. An HD 720p video costs 200 credits and a Standard 480p video costs 100. Credits never expire, and failed videos are refunded. Packs on that page: Starter $9.99 for 200 credits, Creator $24.99 for 600, Studio $59.99 for 1,600. The hero also prints "From $9.99". Three guides on the same page are dated Oct 11, 2026. The page does not grant rights to the 1984 recording.

Other platforms

CapCut pages titled Smalltown Boy are a green-screen clip, a lyric card, and a different meme, so they are not the path above. Kling's video-effects page, Kling's motion-control page, and Higgsfield's Genjutsu page name no Smalltown Boy preset and print no price. Signed out, the video-effects page is a short shell.

To build the dance without those templates, paste the prompt in Three steps into a reference-video tool that accepts two photos and a reference clip you already have the right to use. [Image 1] is the screamer, [Image 2] is the dancer, and [Video 1] is that reference clip. The wording is MakeViral's published Human prompt.

Kling's motion-control feature is a different shape. Open Kling AI Motion Control. The page says to bring a static image to life by uploading a reference video. The steps are: upload a static character image and a motion reference video, optionally bind the face with more angles, then generate and export. Its FAQ says motion control focuses on movement and expressions, and that speech and lip-sync use a different video mode. The same FAQ says motion control currently supports one primary subject. A two-person swap is a two-subject job, so this feature page is the wrong single pass for both roles at once. Use a photo you may use, and a reference clip you may use.

1. Tool — Open MakeViral and choose Pet or Human, or open Jump's Smalltown Boy Cats page for two pets, or open the Smalltown Boy Dance generator for the 22-second people file.
2. Input — Upload photo 1 as the role that screams first, and photo 2 as the role that dances behind. On Smalltown Boy Dance, the same photo can fill both roles if you turn on "Use one photo for both of us." If you are not using those pages, paste this prompt, with your two photos and a reference clip you may use:

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same red wooden fence with ivy, the same asphalt, the same daylight and wide lens, the same camera angles, cuts, timing and moves. The ONLY change: the black-and-white cat who screams in front is now the person in [Image 1], and the ginger cat who dances behind it is now the person in [Image 2]. Both are real people, standing on two feet.
The one who screams = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY shot: copy the exact face from [Image 1] - face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles exactly as in the photo. They wear the clothes from [Image 1]. They grab their head with both hands and scream into the lens.
The dancer = the person in [Image 2], in EVERY shot: copy the exact face from [Image 2] - face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles exactly as in the photo. They wear the clothes from [Image 2] and dance 1980s style.
The same real people in every frame, from the first shot to the last, so their friends instantly recognize them. Never morph, never drift back to the original cats' faces, never add or remove facial hair. No cat ears, no fur, no tails, no paws, no collar and no bell. Do not mix the two faces: [Image 1] is only the one who screams, [Image 2] is only the dancer.
Shots, matching the reference:
1. Close in front of the wide lens, the person from [Image 1] grabs their head with both hands and screams, while the person from [Image 2] dances behind them by the fence.
2. Both dance side by side in front of the red fence.
3. Low shot from the ground: both dance against the sky.
4. Both dance side by side again, then lunge at the camera with their hands out.
Anatomy rules: one head per person, on that person's own shoulders. A face never appears on knees, legs, hands or clothes. Exactly two people, no animals. No text, no logos.

3. Export — Keep the shape the page prints. MakeViral is 14 seconds, 720p, 9:16, an MP4 with the reel's song, and the page says you can turn that song off. Jump is a 21-second file with the song. Smalltown Boy Dance is 22 seconds, 9:16, 480p or 720p, with the original sound on the file. A motion-control export follows that feature's own length and does not keep the reference audio.

• Likeness — Use a photo of yourself, of an adult who agreed, or of your own pet. MakeViral's template says to use your own pets, or people and pets whose owners said yes. Jump's footer says adults only, and the form says everyone you upload is an adult who said yes, and that you only add your own pets. Smalltown Boy Dance's checkbox says you only use photos of yourself or of people who agreed to appear. Jump's "adult who said yes" line is the limit on who goes in the file.
• AI label — Tell viewers the dance is generated. YouTube's help page Disclosing use of GenAI content says: "We require creators to disclose AI-generated or altered content that seems realistic." Creators must disclose content that makes a real person appear to say or do something they did not do, alters footage of a real event or place, or generates a realistic scene that did not occur. MakeViral's page says to keep the platform's AI label on, and it says both source reels are labeled AI-generated on TikTok. Smalltown Boy Dance's form says the video is AI-generated, not real footage. Turn on the label where TikTok, Reels, or Shorts asks for one.
• Rights — The 1984 recording belongs to its rights holders. Wikipedia identifies the single as Bronski Beat's, released in the UK on 25 May 1984. MakeViral says the song belongs to its owners and that MakeViral gives you no rights to it. That page also says you can turn the song off and add a sound when you post. Jump's FAQ says the 21-second video includes the song. Smalltown Boy Dance says the file includes the original sound, and the page does not grant a license to that recording. Kling's motion-control FAQ says the feature focuses on movement and expressions, so a motion-control export does not carry the reference clip's audio. This page does not identify the recording inside each saved file. Add a track you may use, or use the sound the product says is included. Leave the 1984 lyrics out of the caption unless you have that right too.

• Tools: Kling is the motion-control path for one still plus a reference clip you may use. The feature page says it supports one primary subject, so run each role as its own pass if you use it. Higgsfield is for a general reference-video job if you paste the dance prompt. Confirm the price on that page before you generate.
• Models: Seedance is the model name MakeViral prints on the Human row and on both prompt headers. Kling is the image-to-video family behind the motion-control feature page.

Can I make this without a dedicated template?

Yes. Paste the Human prompt in Three steps into a reference-video tool, with two photos and a reference clip you may use. MakeViral's own page says the one-tap button runs that prompt for you, together with the trend clip. Kling motion control is one primary subject and does not keep the reference audio. Confirm the price on that page before you generate.

What do I need to upload?

Two photos on the usual path. Photo 1 screams first. Photo 2 dances behind. MakeViral wants a pet's whole body, or a person's face turned to the camera, waist-up or full body. Jump wants one clear pet face and allows up to three photos of each pet. Smalltown Boy Dance wants a sharp half-body or full-body photo, and it has a control that uses one photo for both roles. A close-up headshot is the case that page says can break the swap.

Does the clip include the 1984 song?

It depends on the page. MakeViral says the file comes with the reel's song and that you can turn the song off. It also says it gives you no rights to the song. Jump says the 21-second video includes the song. Smalltown Boy Dance says the 22-second file includes the original sound. The Dreamina production board says the generated portion has no background music and that the song is added in the edit. A motion-control export does not keep the reference audio. Add a sound you are allowed to use when the file you download has none.

Who screams first?

The first photo you add. MakeViral says photo 1 grabs its head and screams, and photo 2 dances behind. Jump says photo 1 screams first and photo 2 dances at the fence first. Smalltown Boy Dance labels Person A as the one who screams first and Person B as the one who dances behind, then screams. To flip the order, swap the two photos and run it again.

Can my cat or dog do it?

Yes, on the pet controls that say so. Jump's page is the two-pet version and says a cat and a dog is allowed, from photos of your own animals. MakeViral's Pet row takes two pets, including a dog, standing upright, and copies the living-room reel. Smalltown Boy Dance says pets and toys work and that their results vary more than people's. The two TikToks above are other people's cat clips, not a file from this page.
