Furby was a hugely popular electronic toy in the late 1990s, famous for its blinking eyes, moving ears and beak, and its own language of chirps, peeps and giggles. Short recordings of those sounds later spread across soundboards, video edits and social media, where people used them to signal cute, creepy or nostalgic moments. The toy has returned in memes and remakes, keeping its voice familiar to new audiences. This short musical peep works because it is instantly recognisable, even to people who never owned one.
