Dua Lipa Fans Inspired By ‘Houdini’ Song And The Escape Artist
Sometimes a song can really inspire fans. And sometimes, that inspiration can take really weird forms. Here’s one such story. In November, singer Dua Lipa released her single “Houdini.” According to Billboard, the song hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart last month. Recently, fans have been inspired by the song and have been making trips to visit Harry Houdini’s gravesite.
A woman on TikTok is gaining attention, likes, and views for singing Dua Lipa’s hit song “Houdini” at Harry Houdini’s gravesite. The video has over 2.7 million views, with a caption that says, “rip Harry you would’ve loved Dua Lipa [sad face emoji].”
In the video, you’ll see the TikTokker dancing and singing the lyrics, “I come and I go, tell me all the ways you need me. I’m not here for long, Catch me or I go, Houdini.”
Some celebrities and even brands shared their thoughts in the comments of the video. “Congrats, you won Best Cover Of Houdini At His Grave In 2024,” said MTV. “Do we know if he’s actually in there or did he escape that too,” said the PureWow brand. The Girls Next Door costar Holly Madison even chimed in saying, “Best thing I’ve ever seen.”
Dance The Night
When Dua Lipa released “Houdini” some of her biggest fans gathered at the Houdini Estate in Laurel Canyon Boulevard. The singer shared on Instagram that she had a blast being the DJ and interacting with fans. “Last night in LA @ the Houdini Estate celebrating release weeeek!!!! I love you guys so much!! What a night,” she captioned the post.
CBS News reports that magician Harry Houdini died on Oct. 31, 1926, in Detroit, Michigan. He was in Detroit for a performance at the Garrick Theater on Oct. 24, just days before his death. During the performance, Houdini started to show signs of pain, and after the first act, the curtain fell, and he collapsed, according to Michiganology.org.
At the hospital, doctors discovered Houdini had appendicitis and peritonitis, which is inflammation of the abdominal wall. His appendix was removed, but the poison from the ruptured appendix was already in his bloodstream.
According to ThoughtCo., Houdini could do card tricks and traditional magic acts. But he was most famous for his ability to escape from what seemed like anything and everything, including ropes, handcuffs, straightjackets, jail cells, water-filled milk cans, and even nailed-shut boxes that had been thrown into a river.
