Tubthumping was released by British band Chumbawamba in 1997 and became a worldwide hit, with its knocked-down chorus turning into a lasting anthem for persistence. The line spread far beyond the original song through sports crowds, adverts and later internet memes, where short clips paired the chant with falls, defeats and unlikely recoveries. Its simple, repetitive wording makes it easy to recognise even without the full track, and that instant familiarity keeps it useful for reaction edits, sports highlights and comedy videos decades after its release.
