NEED TO KNOW
Trixie Mattel’s latest work of art has caught the attention of its muse.
On the Dec. 30 episode of The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie and Katya, Trixie reminisced with cohost Katya Zamolodchikova about a childhood favorite TV series.
“Do you know who I think is really a vibe? Do you remember that little bitch from Little House on the Prairie, Nellie, Nellie Oleson?”
“I used to love watching Little House on the Prairie and recently, I’ve been thinking about it a lot. I think I’m going to rewatch it.”

The two agreed that Michael Landon was “hot” on the show. Then, Trixie revealed, “I was thinking of the theme recently. What do you think about it as a disco remix?”
“I know this is not on anybody’s bingo card today. I’ve been doing a lot of producing for other people. I got to… I can’t say who, but I’ve been doing remixes for other for pop girls. Real pop girls. People in the car, would you… gays, would you bop around to the Little House on the Prairie Disco theme?”
Trixie played the theme and commenters were enthralled, with one writing, “My straight, 69 year old father came running into the room and screamed LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE????? and started dancing. Trixie, prepare for EVERYONE to be popping at the club.”
Trixie later made the remix available on YouTube and SoundCloud, where it’s amassed thousands of listens already.
Not only did Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls Wilder on the beloved series, comment on the original video, calling the remix, “The Best Ever!,” but she went on to share it with legions of Little House fans who follow her on Instagram.
“I watched the whole thing on @youtube Such fun!! Thank you @trixiemattel,” she wrote.
Little House on the Prairie, which captivated viewers with over 200 episodes over nine seasons, plus three TV movies, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2024.
