The Duolingo owl character, Duo, sings a repetitive song about Crocs in Spanish, with English translations appearing as text overlays. The video features different versions of Duo wearing various Crocs and multiplying as the song progresses.

Why it worked
The video works because it leverages the recognizable Duolingo owl character in a humorous and slightly absurd way, combining a catchy, repetitive song with a visual gag (the multiplying owls and their Crocs). This creates an entertaining and shareable piece of content that reinforces the brand's quirky personality and encourages engagement through its simplicity and humor. The use of a trending audio style also helps with discoverability.
