The Astronomia meme, famously known as the Coffin Dance, features a troupe of Ghanaian pallbearers performing a choreographed dance during a funeral service, set to the catchy EDM track 'Astronomia' by Vicetone and Tony Igy. The footage originally comes from news reports showcasing the Nana Otafrija Pallbearing Services, who aim to bring joy to funerals. In 2020, the clip surged to global fame as a 'fail' meme, where a video of a person's impending disaster or physical mishap is edited to cut away just as the beat drops, revealing the dancing pallbearers. It represents a darkly humorous way of signaling an inevitable and comedic demise, becoming one of the most defining internet trends of the COVID-19 era.
