Astronomia was originally written by Russian producer Tony Igy in 2010, with the better known Vicetone remix arriving in 2014. The song found a second life in 2020 when edits pairing it with Ghana's dancing pallbearers went viral on TikTok and YouTube. In the format, a clip of someone heading for an obvious fail cuts to the pallbearers carrying a coffin in time to the beat. The format spread worldwide during lockdown and the track remains shorthand for a funny, self inflicted disaster.
