Shooting Stars is a song by Australian electronic duo Bag Raiders, released in 2009 and later used as the soundtrack for a wave of internet videos in 2017. Editors paired its soaring synth hook with clips of people falling, jumping, diving or floating in slow motion, often cutting to the music as the subject left the ground. The format spread quickly across YouTube, Reddit and later TikTok because the contrast between the graceful music and clumsy footage was instantly readable. It remains a popular choice for ironic, dreamlike edits and reaction clips.
À propos de ce son
The Shooting Stars meme clip uses the dreamy synth hook from Bag Raiders' song, played over slow-motion falls and surreal edits for an ironic punchline.
This short clip captures the bright, rising synth melody from Bag Raiders' Shooting Stars, the hook that became shorthand for surreal internet humour. It opens with a smooth electronic pulse and a sparkling lead line that feels weightless and oddly triumphant, even when the video on screen is doing the opposite. That contrast is the joke: a clumsy fall, a slow-motion jump or an impossible stunt suddenly sounds like a dream sequence. Listeners recognise it instantly, so the first second alone sets up the punchline and makes an ordinary edit feel polished, nostalgic and intentionally over the top.
