It’s May 1, so on Tuesday, April 30, four-fifths of *NSYNC<\/strong> acknowledged what’s now become a time-honored tradition: It’s Gonna Be May Day.<\/p>\n

In case you’re unaware, when the group recorded their 2000 #1 hit “It’s Gonna Be Me<\/a>,” producer Max Martin<\/strong> suggested that Justin Timberlake<\/strong> pronounce “me” as “may” because it sounded better.\u00a0In 2012, a Tumblr user was the first<\/a> to make the “It’s Gonna Be May” joke in regard to the calendar and it soon became a popular meme.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Justin posted a video on Instagram<\/a> Tuesday that starts with a woman asking, “What’s a word you pronounced incorrectly one time and it still haunts you ’til this day?” Cut to Justin thinking for a second and then saying, “Me.”<\/p>\n

Lance Bass<\/strong>, meanwhile, posted a video<\/a> of himself giving his husband, Michael<\/strong>, a card. When Michael opens it, he reads, “Roses are red, April is gray, but when you wake up tomorrow\u2014” he stops reading and says, in a horrified tone, “Oh no!” Cut to Lance with a bunch of ramen noodles on his head \u2014 to mimic Justin’s hairstyle in the 2000s \u2014 lip-synching, “It’s gonna be May!”<\/p>\n

“POV: your friend mispronounces a word once and now it\u2019s a national holiday,” reads the caption. “Happy #itsgonnabemay<\/a> Day!”<\/p>\n

Joey Fatone<\/strong> posted a video<\/a> showing himself saying “It’s Gonna Be May” while enjoying activities at Great Wolf Lodge, which is running a May discount special. Chris Kirkpatrick<\/strong> posted a video<\/a> showing the co-host of his podcast, Name Drop<\/em>, asking, “When are we gonna be back for Name Drop?” Cue Chris jumping into the frame to sing the line.<\/p>\n

It seems JC Chasez<\/strong> sat this year out.<\/p>\n
