The moment comes from the season three finale of Stranger Things, released by Netflix in 2019, where Dustin contacts Suzie in Utah to get a crucial code. The song itself is the theme from the 1984 fantasy film The NeverEnding Story, originally performed by Limahl. The scene went viral on release, inspiring duet videos, covers and memes built around the contrast between the high stakes plot and the innocent singalong, and it remains a shorthand for joyful eighties nostalgia.
