NBC launched The More You Know in 1989 as a series of short public service announcements, each ending with the network's shooting star logo and a bright signature jingle. The 80s-style version captures that era's warm synth sound and earnest educational tone. Clips of the sting circulated online as early meme culture grew, and creators began dropping it ironically after trivia, obvious statements and sarcastic life lessons. It endures because the melody is instantly recognizable, turning any statement into a mock public service announcement.
