James Brown released I Got You (I Feel Good) in 1965, and it became one of his signature funk and soul hits, famous for its horn riff and shout-along chorus. Decades later, short clips of the song circulated online as reaction and prank sounds, often used to mark a sudden win, reveal or joke. Its instantly familiar opening makes it easy to recognise even in a few seconds, which is why creators keep returning to it for celebrations, pranks and upbeat edits on social video.
