What the ramalama trend is
RouteNote reported on 9 October 2026 that the song behind the costume-walk videos is "Ramalama (Bang Bang)" by Róisín Murphy. Standard clips feature feet or legs walking toward the camera on beat, revealing an outfit or Halloween costume when the vocals shift.
According to Wikipedia's entry on Ruby Blue, Róisín Murphy is an Irish singer who released her debut solo studio album on 13 June 2005 via Echo, after she and Mark Brydon dissolved Moloko. Murphy produced the album with Matthew Herbert, wrote every track with him, and frequently sampled everyday objects. Wikipedia lists "Ramalama (Bang Bang)" as track 8 at 3 minutes 35, featuring a chorus of onomatopoeic lyrics over a tribal rhythm.
RouteNote states the phrase lacks a straightforward dictionary definition and functions like percussion rather than conventional language. RouteNote also notes the track is not an inherent Halloween song, and that TikTok costume walks tied it to October.
Where ramalama came from
Wikipedia records the song's initial 2005 release on Ruby Blue and two screen uses: season 2 of Grey's Anatomy in 2005, and a zombie group dance on So You Think You Can Dance. RouteNote dates the walking videos to summer 2025, followed by a wider Halloween resurgence in October 2026.
13 June 2005
Wikipedia dates Echo's release of Ruby Blue to 13 June 2005 and lists "Ramalama (Bang Bang)" at 3 minutes 35. The track listing and production credits name Róisín Murphy and Matthew Herbert as co-writers and producers.
2005, on television
According to Wikipedia, songs from Ruby Blue appeared in season 2 of Grey's Anatomy in 2005, including "Ramalama (Bang Bang)" in the episode "Deny, Deny, Deny". The song also backed a season 2, week six zombie group performance on So You Think You Can Dance that combined Night of the Living Dead with Michael Jackson's "Thriller". At the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards, that performance tied for Outstanding Choreography.
Summer to October 2025
RouteNote reports that walking videos began appearing in summer 2025, with an early documented example in late July. By early October 2025, creators used the walk for Halloween outfits, and Murphy joined the trend in October 2025. RouteNote also cites a 2023 Guardian note about an earlier TikTok challenge involving running to a mirror and miming.
9 October 2026
RouteNote published its analysis on 9 October 2026, reporting that an October 2026 trend tracker counted roughly 430,700 videos for "Ramalama (Bang Bang)". The largest wave of new costume clips arrived on 3 and 4 October 2026.
