The meme sound comes from the widely recognised song “Funkytown” by Lipps Inc., released in 1980. Online, short clips of its hook became popular as quick punchlines for ironic edits, dance jokes and scenes that suddenly feel over-the-top. Its staying power comes from how fast the melody sets a playful mood while also feeling a little absurd in meme contexts. It appears across short-form videos, compilations and reaction edits whenever creators want instant upbeat chaos.

Creators use it when a video suddenly becomes chaotic, when someone starts moving with unexpected confidence, or when an edit needs that specific upbeat-but-ironic energy. Even in a very short clip, it gives a scene a playful momentum that viewers immediately associate with meme culture.
