Daytona USA was released by Sega for arcades in 1993 in Japan and internationally in 1994, developed by Sega AM2 as a stock car racing game inspired by NASCAR. Its music, composed and sung by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, became famous for catchy English lyrics performed with unusual enthusiasm. The game over jingle uses that same style, turning a standard end screen into a memorable sung moment. As retro arcade clips circulated on video sites and soundboards in the 2000s and 2010s, the line was reused far beyond racing games as a humorous marker for any defeat.
