Horrible Tinder conversations turn into songs that go viral

These terrible Tinder conversations hit the right note.

Music producer Luke Holloway takes the awkward and shocking exchanges on the popular dating app and turns them into tunes on Instagram and TikTok.

In his viral videos, he belts out the absurd and painful Tinder prose, recreating both matches while a screenshot of the actual convo flashes across the screen.

Holloway, 39, posted his first post in which the man began with, “Do you smoke crack?” – on his page @lewky___ at the end of August.

“I decided to have this conversation because the idea of ​​'Smokes Crack' being on the list of things this particular person is looking for in a romantic partner was super funny to me,” he told The Post.

The video has been viewed over 2 million times and fans begged him to make more of them, with comments like: “Never stop making these.”

“So I just kept doing them, and after posting on Instagram for about a month, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I had like 100,000 new followers. It was crazy,” he said.

One of the most embarrassing conversations he put to music, which has been viewed more than 4 million times, is based on an exchange in which a woman reveals to the man messaging her that he is dating both her mother and her girlfriend was.

“When she says their names, he replies, ‘Fk, that’s embarrassing.’ So what are your plans tonight?”

Holloway's ditties have even earned him celebrity followers like Adrian Grenier, Christina Milian, Melissa McCarthy and Matt Bomer – and he hopes famous musicians will also take on the roles of Tinder users, such as dream collaborations with Ariana Grande and Harry Styles.

He finds the Tinder conversations on platforms like Reddit and the entertainment website Bored Panda, while his followers simply fill his inbox with others.

“It’s really flooded. It takes me hours to get through,” said Holloway, who joined Tinder two weeks ago and is now in a relationship.

“It’s depressing sometimes, I’m not going to lie. You just read terrible conversations. Some of the people get pretty cruel, so I try to find the ones who won't be a huge disappointment.”

Some news is simply too irrelevant.

“If it's too overtly sexual, which I hear a lot, I tend to stay away from it,” he said.

Holloway looks for conversations that are “really weird without being offensive” – ​​like his most popular song, which garnered 12 million views and began with the man asking, “Say potato if you're real.”

What sparked the most debate was a tune he composed from a chat that took a turn when the woman asked, “What do you do for a living?”

“Things like this are exactly why I don’t do dating apps,” the dejected man replied. “We don’t even know anything about each other and you already want the most personal details.”

“People in the comments have expressed that they don't like this question either, which has led to debates about whether this is a good question or a bad question,” said Holloway, who grew up in Indiana and now lives in Washington , DC

“I didn’t see any of it coming. … For me, work is such an impersonal question.”
