The melody comes from Jacques Offenbach's 1858 operetta Orpheus in the Underworld, where the Galop infernal became the music most people now call the Can Can. Online, the tune was paired with Germano Mosconi, the Italian television journalist whose leaked off-air outbursts made him an early YouTube meme in Italy in the 2000s. Editors reused the frantic dance music for parodies, remixes and sped-up sketches, and the pairing stuck as a shorthand for Italian meme chaos that still circulates on soundboards today.

Germano Mosconi's Can Can song clip from Italian television, a frantic Offenbach dance tune used for chaotic, funny and over-the-top meme edits.
This is the famous Can Can music, Jacques Offenbach's Galop infernal, played at frantic speed and linked online to Italian journalist Germano Mosconi. The clip races through the instantly recognisable kicking melody with bright orchestral energy, building momentum in just a few seconds. It sounds urgent, theatrical and slightly absurd, which is why it lands so well under sped-up footage. Viewers immediately read it as chaos, panic or a ridiculous chase, even before anything happens on screen, turning an ordinary moment into slapstick.
