History
A
1989 book by the American scholar and professor Jessica Wilson states
that it originated in Kenya although anecdotal recollections from India
suggest that the rhyme has even earlier origins in a now-defunct Indian
newspaper Blitz. According to Vinoth Chandar, the CEO
of ChuChu TV,
the nursery rhyme is old enough to have been in the public domain in
India, indicating that it was at least 60 years old at that time (per Indian copyright law). It was also a popular
rhyme even when India's older generations were young.

Internet meme
The
song became an internet meme in August 2018, with one
version by Billion Surprise Toys—a company with 16 million subscribers to its
YouTube channel—going particularly viral on Twitter. This
version prominently features Johny and his father doing popular dance moves
such as the "Gangnam Style" dance, and intertwines
the original lyrics with a repeated "doo-doo-doo-da-doo" to the
melody of "Baby Shark". The various videos by edutainment
channels were subsequently described as "terrifying",
"disturbing", "nonsensical" and "a godforsaken
nightmare". The song's popularity has been attributed to the Elsagate phenomenon
of potentially disturbing or absurd YouTube videos being algorithmically shown
to children through the YouTube website and the YouTube Kids app. The Verge, Mashable and New York Magazine found
"remixes" by Billion Surprise Toys, one featuring an anthropomorphic
refrigerator (as the liar), to be particularly absurd even compared to other
"Johny Johny Yes Papa" videos.

Shortly
after the song went viral, Billion Surprise Toys began to very aggressively
issue DMCA takedown requests for videos and
images derived from its own videos published on social media. The move was
controversial because of the unclear copyright status of the song itself
and American copyright law allowing parodies
as a form of fair use as well as the UAE (Billion Surprise Toys'
native country) allowing "The reproduction of the work for the purpose of
personal, non-profit and non-professional use" under their fair use laws.
