Astronomia (Vicetone remix)

"Astronomia" is a house song by Dutch electronic music duo Vicetone and Tony Igy, created as a remix of Igy's 2010 song with the same name. It was released on July 9, 2014.
Background.
The original Astronomia song was released in Russia in 2010. Vicetone created the song in 2014 and sent it to Tony Igy, who liked it. Igy's label didn't approve of the remix, so the remix was released for free online.
Reception.
The song was originally niche and unprofitable. However, in early 2020, the song became the subject of an Internet meme commonly known as "Coffin Dance," which involves the remix playing over a group of Ghanaian men dancing while carrying a coffin, a common funeral tradition in Ghana and parts of Africa with the idea of sending of deceased loved ones in style, rather than in the usual manner of mourning.
