Shooting Stars was released in 2009 by Australian electronic duo Bag Raiders and became a major meme in 2017, when edits showed people tumbling endlessly through space to its synth hook. Proibidão is a raw subgenre of Brazilian funk carioca that developed in Rio de Janeiro, known for heavy beats and explicit, unfiltered lyrics. This version merges the two traditions, turning the dreamy Australian track into a baile funk anthem. It stays popular because the melody is instantly recognisable, while the harder rhythm gives old Shooting Stars edits a fresh, Brazilian party twist.
Über diesen Sound
Shooting Stars Proibidão is a Brazilian funk remix of the Bag Raiders song, used in memes for flying, falling and surreal space zoom edits online.
This clip takes the dreamy synth hook from Shooting Stars and drops it into a heavy Brazilian proibidão funk beat. The familiar floating melody collides with fast, punchy drums and a raw baile funk groove, so a normal clip suddenly feels like it is launching into space. It works because the contrast is instant: the original sounds euphoric and weightless, while the remix adds street party energy and comic excess. Viewers expect a zoom out, a fall, or an impossible flight, and the beat makes even a simple jump feel huge, absurd and celebratory.
