The melody comes from Escape (The Piña Colada Song), the 1979 hit by Rupert Holmes about two people who discover they share a taste for piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. The song topped the charts and became a lasting pop culture shorthand for romance, holidays and tropical escapism, later appearing in films, adverts and television. Its instantly recognisable chorus has kept it popular online, where short clips are used to signal summer, cocktails and carefree travel in videos, memes and edits.
