A savvy TikToker shared a video where she listens to Beyoncé’s new track, with the caption: “Pov: you’re a Canadian trying to figure out why Beyoncé’s new song sounds so familiar.” If you're curious, check out the video here.

The Canadian Connection

So, what's the connection? Many listeners have noted that Beyoncé’s song bears a striking resemblance to the theme song of a beloved Canadian children's show, Franklin. Remember Hey, It’s Franklin? That nostalgic tune from our childhoods? Well, it seems there's a resemblance!

Bruce Cockburn Weighs In

You might be wondering if this could mean a windfall for the writer of the Franklin theme song. Bruce Cockburn, the man behind the catchy tune, has already addressed the buzz. In an interview with PEOPLE, he said:

"I think Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ’Em is a good record. Unfortunately, I can’t claim to have had any part in writing it."

While he acknowledges the similarities, there are no hard feelings from Cockburn. He’s just as much a fan of Beyoncé's music as the rest of us!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

For those who might need a refresher, Franklin was based on the popular books by Brenda Clark and Paulette Bourgeois. The show ran from 1997 to 2004 and featured Schitt’s Creek star Noah Reid as the voice of Franklin the Turtle.

So, next time you find yourself humming along to Beyoncé’s "Texas Hold Em" and feeling a wave of nostalgia, you'll know why. It’s just a little piece of Canadian TV history making its way into the global pop scene!
