How to add the Outstanding sound to your Tiny Desk video
You don't have to add it: full videos come with the live "Outstanding" recording lined up the way the meme uses it. There's also a silent MP4: post that with TikTok's "original sound - theburnerfromhe11" started at 0:01, and the long note lands on your close-up.

Is the song included?
Yes. Full videos come with the live recording from the Tiny Desk concert, timed to the shots, ready to post. Free previews are silent. The song and the recording belong to their owners, and we grant no rights to them.
Add TikTok's own sound
Posting with the trend's sound puts your video on that sound's page. The first AI version uses "original sound - theburnerfromhe11"; we matched it to the video.
- Download the silent MP4 of your video.
- On your phone, open the sound on TikTok (link above) and tap Use this sound, then pick your video.
- Tap the trim icon and start the sound at 0:01.
- Tag your band and post.
If the sound is gone, or for Reels, Shorts and CapCut
Search "Outstanding Tiny Desk" or "Outstanding Charlie Wilson" for the live version and slide the start until the music starts with the band shot. Or just post the MP4 with the sound already in it.
