Someone once told me that every musician is lucky enough to have a song so memorable that people recognize it from the first two words. The feel-good song “All-Star” by Smash Mouth went viral in 1999, when the word “viral” was still used to refer to germs.
This unrelentingly upbeat tune has been parodied and referenced pretty much non-stop over the decades. You could say that memes started popping up since then and they haven’t stopped yet.
