From its humble 19th-century origins as the worker class's go-to protest anthem, 'Bella Ciao' somehow leveled up from dusty picket lines to pixelated glory. This Italian earworm, soaked in anti-fascist vibes, now stars in video games where repping worker rights means pressing buttons fast enough to survive. Who knew a 1800s protest banger would become the soundtrack to digital slain zombies or whatever kids do nowadays? The song’s journey from smoky labor halls to speakers blasting at gamer hangouts is basically the history class remix no one asked for but we secretly love.
