Jornal da Globo began in 1967 as the late-night newscast of Rede Globo in Brazil, known for its serious tone and distinctive opening music. Short clips of its theme later circulated on Brazilian social media and messaging apps, detached from the actual broadcast. The sound became a shorthand for breaking news, borrowed by creators to frame jokes, rumours and everyday updates as if they were national headlines. Its continued use comes from that instant contrast between formal journalism and trivial content.
