Perry the Platypus was created for Disney's animated series Phineas and Ferb, which premiered in 2007, where he lives as the family pet while secretly working as Agent P for the O.W.C.A. The German dub names him Perry das Schnabeltier, and its sung cue became as recognisable to German speaking fans as the English original. Clips of the transformation sequence spread widely in fan edits and meme videos, keeping the jingle popular long after new episodes ended as a nostalgic cue for double lives and secret missions.
