The sound is a parody of the English Pokemon theme from the animated series that began in the late 1990s, itself based on Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokemon games. That opening song became one of the most recognised cartoon themes for a generation, which made it a frequent target for silly remixes online. Fart along versions, bass boosted edits and soundboard copies spread through meme pages and short video edits, where the contrast between the earnest original and the rude replacement keeps the joke instantly readable.
