Shooting Stars is a 2009 track by Australian electronic duo Bag Raiders that became one of the defining internet memes of early 2017, when editors set footage of people tumbling through the air to its dreamy synth melody. The format exploded across YouTube and Reddit, spawning countless falling edits before the joke burned out and settled into nostalgia. Cruddy re-uploads and distorted versions like this one kept circulating on soundboards, where the degraded quality itself became part of the gag, a knowing wink at a meme everyone already knows.

A rough, low-fi take on Bag Raiders' iconic Shooting Stars hook, the synth melody behind the famous falling meme. Creators drop it under ironic fail clips.
This clip is a deliberately degraded take on the famous Shooting Stars synth hook, the dreamy electronic melody Bag Raiders made and the internet turned into the falling meme. It keeps the melody everyone recognises but sounds like it was recorded through a broken speaker, with a thin, wobbly, low-quality edge that makes the whole thing feel cheap and funny. Played over a video, it undercuts the moment instead of elevating it, swapping the original's trippy optimism for pure irony. The joke lands because the listener's brain completes the melody while their ears hear the mess.
