The Coffin Dance meme took off online in 2020, pairing clips of Ghanaian pallbearers dancing with a coffin to the track “Astronomia,” originally by Tony Igy and widely known through the Vicetone version. The format spread fast across TikTok, YouTube, and meme pages as a way to joke about near-disasters and certain failure. It remains popular because the music is instantly recognizable and the setup is flexible: almost any clip with a bad outcome can be turned into a Coffin Dance edit.
