Astronomia began as a 2010 electronic track by Tony Igy and became widely known through Vicetone's later version. The song exploded online in 2020 when it was paired with the Ghanaian pallbearers in the Coffin Dance meme. Short edits spread across TikTok, YouTube and messaging apps, usually appearing after a risky move, bad decision or comedic failure. It still gets used because the opening melody is instantly recognizable and sets up a joke outcome within seconds.
