The sound comes from Fabulous Secret Powers, a fan-made animated video that reimagines He-Man from Masters of the Universe passionately performing What's Up by 4 Non Blondes, originally released in 1993. Uploaded online in the mid-2000s and widely shared in the following decade, the clip turned the chorus into a standalone meme detached from both the cartoon and the song. Its over-the-top delivery kept circulating in edits, remixes and reaction posts, so the stretched hey yeah hook is now recognised even by viewers who never saw the full video.
About this sound
Animated He-Man powerfully sings the hey yeah yeah chorus from What's Up, a surreal meme clip used for triumphant reveals and absurd singalong moments.
This clip captures the drawn-out, full-throated hey yeah yeah vocal hook sung over a bright pop rock backing, stretched into an exaggerated cartoon performance. The voice climbs and holds the notes far longer than feels natural, turning a familiar chorus into something joyful, strange and instantly recognisable. Each repetition builds the silliness, with the singer leaning into the melody as if delivering a heroic announcement. Played without context it lands as pure comic energy, while fans immediately picture the flamboyant animated performance that made the fragment a staple reaction sound online for years now.
