The clip comes from the Wide Putin meme that spread on YouTube and social media in 2020, based on 2018 inauguration footage of Vladimir Putin walking through the Kremlin. Editors stretched the video horizontally and set it to a sped-up piano track, Song for Denise, turning a formal walk into a looping joke. The format was remixed with different characters and locations, but the music stayed as the recognisable cue. It remains popular for entrance edits and parodies of exaggerated confidence online.
