Megalovania was composed by Toby Fox and became famous as the Sans boss theme in Undertale, released in 2015, after earlier versions appeared in his EarthBound Halloween Hack and Homestuck work. The track spread widely through remixes, covers and fan edits, and creators began isolating single notes in FL Studio recreations to rebuild the melody. That one note became shorthand online for Sans appearing, a challenge starting, or a joke turning suddenly serious.
