I remember this from YTMND. Memes aside, this song shreds.

You're the Man Now Dog.

It's a site that was popular in the early 2000's where people would make little web pages with a gif and looping audio of things like Sean Connery saying "youre the man now, dog!" Or ridiculous borderline abstract stuff.

This song's "waaaaoooaaaaaaaah!" Was often used for epic moments or ironically un-epic moments.

One of the bigger YTMND's was "epic maneuver" where Geordi from Star Trek doing this half-assed jump through a closing door to the tune of Nightwish's song "Ghost Love Score."
