Caramelldansen is a Swedish dance-pop song by Caramell, released in 2001 and later turned into a global internet dance meme through animated loops and fan videos. Freddy Fazbear is the mascot bear from Five Nights at Freddy's, the 2014 horror game that made animatronic characters a staple of online fan culture. Fans began pairing the two because the cheerful, high-tempo track undercuts Freddy's menacing design, and the combination spread through short edits, animations and streams where the contrast itself became the joke.
