Celebration was released by Kool and the Gang in 1980 as the lead single from their album Celebrate, and it quickly became one of the most recognisable party songs in pop music. Its chorus, built around celebrating good times, has been played at weddings, sporting victories, birthdays and New Year parties for decades. Online, the same short burst works as instant shorthand for success, because listeners recognise the tune within a second and associate it with dancing, cheering and a room full of people having fun.
