Place it at the climax of a short fail edit, after a brief build-up and just before the reveal. Follow it with the Ba Dum Tss Drum Sting for a comic beat, then the Funny Ha Ha Laugh to close, or open with the Metal Gear Solid Alert before the takedown for a gaming twist.

This eight-second clip is a musical excerpt centred on a female singing voice delivering the hook of a dance track, with a dramatic, drawn-out phrasing that makes the moment feel larger than life. It feels tense, theatrical and slightly heartbroken, turning an everyday defeat into a cinematic fall. It is taken from David Guetta's Shot Me Down featuring Skylar Grey.
