Where does the “CUCU CURELLA” meme come from?
The phenomenon began in 2022 after Marc Cucurella joined the Premier League. An English version circulated: « He eats paella / His hair is fucking massive ». In Spain, creator Adrián Navarro adapted the lyrics for TikTok. He added local references like Estrella beer and « Haaland tiembla ». The clip showed Navarro singing and dancing. Virality exploded when Cucurella himself adopted the choreography. This happened after Spain won Euro 2024, where he danced on a table. This official endorsement validated the meme as the team's unofficial anthem.
