While April 30th may just be the last day of the month for most,*NSYNC Fans, it’s a national holiday.
Titled “It’s Gonna Be May Day” in conjunction with the band’s hit song, “It’s Gonna Be Me”, Justin Timberlake And Lance Bass happily joined in on the fun sparked by Timberlake’s hilariously pop-sounding pronunciation of “me” in the song’s bridge.
In an Instagram video posted on Tuesday, Bass, 44, enlisted his husband, Michael Turchin, to stage a skit around the song’s lyrics, which have inspired thousands of memes each year in the run-up to May. In his video, Bass lovingly presents Turchin, 37, with a card declaring his love and leading him to announce what month is coming up.
“Michael, roses are red, April is gray, but when you wake up tomorrow…” Turchin says, reading the card Bass gave him before realizing what he’s done. “Oh no.”
“It’ll be May,” Bass says from across the room, complete with boiled ramen noodles on his head to recook JT’s iconic ’90s hairstyle.
“POV: Your friend mispronounces a word once and now it’s a national holiday. Happy.” #it will be May Day!,” Bass wrote in the post’s caption.
For his part, 43-year-old Timberlake – who did it has long been the subject of jokes — pieced together a video in which a creator asked other TikTok users to chime in with a word they once mispronounced that “haunts you to this day.”
“Um… I,” Timberlake says in the short video, which has been liked more than 700,000 times. The singer resumed the narrative, admitting his mistake and captioning the Instagram post, “It will be…”
“And now you have a WHOLE HOLIDAY to remember 🤗,” the official said Trolls The Instagram account responded in the comments.
The celebration comes just weeks after Bass and Timberlake Reuniting with her *NSYNC bandmates — Joey Fatone, JC Chasez And Chris Kirkpatrick – for a one-night show in Los Angeles, where they surprised the audience with a performance.
