        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that&#8217;s a mixtape.</p><p>Andrew Lloyd Webber is puzzling TikTok with a &#8220;Phantom of the Opera&#8221;-inspired tribute to <strong>raunchy rap song &#8220;WAP&#8221;</strong> by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.</p><p>The musical reimagining, cleverly titled &#8220;Phantom of the WAPera&#8221; after the Broadway legend&#8217;s 1986 musical (and, well, &#8220;WAP&#8221;), has amassed 1.9 million views.</p><p>In the <strong>bizarre video posted Friday</strong>, the 72-year-old UK composer can be seen grooving along to the dirty ditty, whose acronym stands for &#8220;wet ass p - - - y&#8221; and espouses the virtues of well-irrigated female nether regions. The brief clip concludes with Webber playing the famous &#8220;Phantom of the Opera&#8221; theme on the piano while &#8220;WAP&#8217;s&#8221; risqué lyrics sound in the background.</p><p>Needless to say, Webber&#8217;s &#8220;WAPera&#8221; blindsided users on the viral video streaming platform TikTok.</p><blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@officialalw/video/6866001639434751237" data-video-id="6866001639434751237"  ><section> <strong>@officialalw</strong></p><p>Phantom of the WAPera ft. the man himself &#8211; TeamALW <strong>#phantom</strong> <strong>#cardib</strong> <strong>#mashup</strong> <strong>#music</strong> <strong>#theatre</strong> <strong>#remix</strong></p><p> <strong>♬ phantom of the wapera &#8211; pescatarian_mama_</strong></section></blockquote><p> <script async src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script></p><p>&#8220;This was a fever dream,&#8221; said one confused commenter about the remix.</p><p>&#8220;You have a TikTok,&#8221; wondered another in all caps about the septuagenarian.</p><p>However, others loved the &#8220;Cats&#8221; composer&#8217;s rendition. &#8220;This is everything I&#8217;ve ever wanted and more,&#8221; wrote one newfound fan.</p><p>&#8220;You are the actual king of TikTok!! Everyone needs you,&#8221; fawned another.</p><p>&#8220;Thank you,&#8221; replied Webber, who made headlines last month after <strong>lambasting the much-maligned movie version</strong> of his musical &#8220;Cats.&#8221;</p><p>Another gushed, &#8220;This isn&#8217;t real. I&#8217;m amazed. This is beautiful.&#8221;</p><p>Let&#8217;s just be glad that the elderly impresario didn&#8217;t attempt <strong>TikTok&#8217;s viral &#8220;WAP&#8221; dance,</strong> which has resulted in injury and hospitalizations for many internet clout-seekers.</p>]]></content:encoded>
