Caeleb Dressel broke his own world record to win the 100-meter butterfly Saturday at the Tokyo Olympics , and fans sang his praises.

But two supporters, “Uncle Rick” and “Aunt Ruth,” actually sang in praise of the U.S. swim hunk. NBC shared the pair’s tribute song on its Olympic Twitter feed.

Check out Dressel’s second individual victory of the games and “Uncle Rick” and “Aunt Ruth’s” performance below.
