Lance Bass still won't let Justin Timberlake live down his pronunciation of "me."

In honor of May 1 and the titular line from *NSYNC's 2000 hit "It's Gonna Be Me" being pronounced by the Reptile actor as "It's gonna be May," the boy band alum, 44, shared a hilarious Instagram video with husband Michael Turchin putting a hilarious twist on the memed lyric.

Captioned "POV: your friend mispronounces a word once and now it’s a national holiday. Happy #itsgonnabemay Day!," the clip features Turchin, 37, at a table with a bowl of ramen reading what he thinks is a "sweet" note from Bass.

"Aw, that's sweet. Michael, roses are read, April is gray, but when you wake up tomorrow..." he pauses, before panicking, "Oh no!"

Suddenly, the camera pans to the actor/singer who is swinging his hips with the ramen on his head — as a nod to Timberlake's early aughts bleach-blond curls — lip syncing "It's gonna be May."

Timberlake's pronunciation of May has spawned endless memes over the years.

In a video shared to social media on April 30, the 43-year-old pop star joked about his pronunciation of the "It's Gonna Be Me" line and how "It's gonna be May" has become a lifelong joke.

"What's a word you pronounced incorrectly one time and it still haunts you to this day?" asked influencer @umgabi in a TikTok video, which Timberlake stitched with a cheeky response, as he said: "Um... 'Me.'"

Decades ago, *NSYNC fans began circulating endless clips of the boy band members' distinct singing of the word "me" in the song, pairing the moment with pictures of the "SexyBack" singer in various scenarios.

Timberlake's bandmate Joey Fatone told PEOPLE recently that the band trades "It's gonna be May" memes back and forth in an *NSYNC text chain.

"There was the one meme that was like, Justin looking like he was dressed up in something from the Night's Watch from Game of Thrones and I sent him one of those," he said.

Fatone, 47, added: "It was really funny. Every once in a while, one of us will find a good one and we'll send it on the group text."

He also explained how the long-running joke got started.

"It was just, 'It's gonna be me.' When you sing it, it sounds a lot harsher if you're trying to go, 'It's gonna be meeeee.' It doesn't sound very good to the ear," Fatone said. "So when we pronounced it, [producer] Max Martin came up with the idea of saying, 'It's gonna be May.' But we never knew that it was going to take off and become its own thing. And every year you get crazy stuff. But it's hilarious. And we might as well embrace it."
