Plants vs Zombies is a tower defense game developed by PopCap Games and first released in 2009, where players place plants to stop waves of zombies from reaching their house. Its music, composed by Laura Shigihara, became as recognisable as the gameplay, and short cues like this victory jingle were widely clipped and shared online. As gaming edits and meme videos grew, the tune took on a second life outside the game as a universal signal for a small win, a completed task or a level cleared against the odds.
