"Turn the Lights Off" was covered by Danish disc jockey Kato in 2010. Kato's version found viral success in 2025 after being featured in a meme with actor Jon Hamm in a club dancing scene from the American television series Your Friends & Neighbours.[2][3]
In 2026, Kato revealed to Headliner magazine that the viral success initially started from social media accounts in Ukraine, before the Jon Hamm meme took over. He also reacted to the unexpected success of his 2010 track: "Whenever I was on TikTok or Instagram, every time I swiped to the next video, it was my song again and again."[4]
