Astronaut in the Ocean

"Astronaut in the Ocean" is a song by Australian rapper Masked Wolf. It is also a minor meme on the SiIvaGunner channel.

Overview
"Astronaut in the Ocean" was composed by Masked Wolf (Harry Michael), and produced by Tyron Hapi, was released on June 7, 2019 through Teamwrk Records, and re-released by Elektra Records on January 6, 2021.

The song gained more attention on social media in late 2020 through TikTok, especially from a trend where the song would get poorly mashed up with other songs.

Rips
Most of the early rips using "Astronaut in the Ocean" reference a TikTok trend where the song is poorly mashed up with other songs. The first rip to do this was "Ghost in the Machine - OneShot". This use of the meme was very commonly used alongside the instrumental of "Yankin", which is properly fitted to the track, contrasting "Astronaut in the Ocean" (and with the added benefit of having an element of the rip that technically took effort to do). As one might expect, most of these unsynced mashup rips gained a lot of dislikes.

However, after the channel event dedicated to celebrating the song's second anniversary on June 7, 2021, almost all rips featuring the song have been proper mashups, using its own instrumental instead of "Yankin"'s.

The song and its lyrics are the basis of "Act 3: Down Below - Curse of the Fallen Angel".
