The melody is the famous Galop infernal from Jacques Offenbach's 1858 operetta Orpheus in the Underworld, long known as the can-can. It entered public culture through dance halls, early cinema and cartoons, becoming shorthand for high-energy comedy. Brass and organ arrangements are staples at baseball stadiums and sporting events. On soundboards, uploads titled after the film Major League circulate as short, punchy cuts for memes, sports edits and slapstick videos, keeping the 19th-century tune alive as an internet comedy cue.
