Kira Puru gets Tones And I, Peking Duk and more to do their best Korn impressions

Jaguar Jonze, Mo'Ju and Kwame also gave it a red-hot go

Kira Puru has been making considerable waves on TikTok over the past few months, and her latest video sees her challenge a number of Australian musicians to give their best Korn impressions.

As first shared by Junkee, the singer took to the platform to play a snippet of Korn’s Grammy-winning 1998 hit ‘Freak On A Leash’, where frontman Jonathan Davis utters his now-iconic gibberish. She then revealed she had challenged a number of Australian musicians to give their rendition of the line.

Puru played recordings of Kwame, Alice Ivy, Mo’Ju, Sam Dillon and Tones And I all having their best go at it, rating and giving feedback for each one.

Puru rated Ivy’s rendition a perfect 10/10, saying she actually sent a full one-minute recording, while rating Mo’Ju’s the lowest at 6/10 because she “forgot to breathe”.

Puru also said that if she gets enough likes on the video, she would release a sequel. Over the weekend, she delivered, hitting up artists Peking Duk, Jaguar Jonze, Haiku Hands, Didirri and ALTA to take on the task.

In the second round, Jaguar Jonze nabbed a perfect score from Puru because she “sounds like a cute Pokémon”.
