The sound is known online by its phonetic title, which spells out tonight is the night as it is heard in the clip, and that spelling has helped people find and share it as a meme. Short voice clips like this travel well because they can be dropped over any celebration video without needing context, and the exaggerated pronunciation does most of the comic work on its own. It remains in use as a hype sound for nights out, parties and reveals, where one funny line can set the mood faster than a song.
