Patapon is a rhythm strategy game first released for the PlayStation Portable in 2007, where players beat drums to command a tribe of one-eyed creatures. The chant Pata Pata Pata Pon is the march command, telling the Patapons to advance, and it became one of the most recognisable sounds from the game. Clips of the chant spread through gameplay videos, remixes and meme edits, helped by its simple, catchy rhythm. It remains popular with fans of retro handheld games and is still used to signal a determined, comical march.
