Furby launched in 1998 from Tiger Electronics and quickly became a defining interactive toy, known for its big eyes, moving ears and its own babbling language, Furbish. Its start up sounds and electronic peeps became part of that identity, instantly linked to the toy waking and reacting. Clips of the intro music later circulated on soundboards and in meme edits, where the mix of cute and slightly unsettling nostalgia made it perfect for reveals, toy videos and ironic horror jokes.
