Kedeng Kedeng comes from the 1990s Dutch hit by Guus Meeuwis and Vagant, where the title imitates the sound a train makes on the tracks. The song became a staple of Dutch pop culture, sung on platforms, at parties and on radio for decades after its release. Online, the short chorus was clipped from the track and reused as a meme sound for anything involving trains, travel or a long repetitive journey, keeping the onomatopoeia alive far beyond the original chart run.
