The Gummy Bear Song, also known as I'm a Gummy Bear, began as a novelty dance track built around Gummibär, a green animated bear created for short 3D music videos. First released in Europe in the mid 2000s, it was recorded in dozens of languages and spread rapidly once the English version took off on YouTube, becoming one of the platform's early viral music hits. Its simple repeated hook and colourful animation made it a staple of kids content, ringtones and parodies, and it still resurfaces in ironic edits and nostalgia posts today.
