About this sound
The famous high-pitched Jimmy Barnes scream from Kirin J Callinan's Big Enough, used in memes, edits and sudden dramatic reaction clips.
This sound is the soaring scream by Australian singer Jimmy Barnes from the song Big Enough by Kirin J Callinan. It starts as a drawn-out, powerful yell that quickly turns any scene into something absurdly dramatic. The clip is best known from the music video image of Barnes floating in the sky like a cowboy angel, which makes the audio feel both epic and ridiculous at the same time. Creators use it to exaggerate pain, shock, failure or over-the-top emotion when a normal reaction would be too small.
