The Chocobo theme first appeared in Final Fantasy II in 1988, composed by Nobuo Uematsu, and has been rearranged in almost every later game in the series. Hip Hop de Chocobo is one of its modern remixes, reworking the chirpy melody into a hip hop groove, and it gained wider attention through Final Fantasy VII Remake. Short loops of the track circulate online as a soundboard clip because the melody is instantly familiar, upbeat and easy to recognise even without any gameplay on screen.
