Big Enough
Big Enough is a 2017 electronic country-pop song by Australian musician Kirin J. Callinan whose music video features Jimmy Barnes as a translucent cowboy screaming in the sky. Clips of the surreal scene turned into viral remix material on YouTube and Tumblr, with edits placing the screaming cowboy over Jurassic Park, Rick and Morty and Game of Thrones scenes.
Overview
Big Enough is a viral video meme built around a clip from the music video for Kirin J. Callinan's 2017 song of the same name, featuring guest vocalist Jimmy Barnes appearing as a translucent, wailing cowboy floating in the sky1. The clip shows Barnes' face and torso ghosted over sweeping shots styled after the American Old West as he holds a piercing high note1. Online, the character was widely nicknamed the "Screaming Cowboy"3.
The meme format usually strips Barnes' vocal from the original video and layers it over another scene, letting the giant see-through cowboy loom over an unrelated backdrop3. The absurd contrast between his operatic wail and mundane or dramatic settings turned the audio into a favorite tool for YouTube remixers in late 20172.

How to Use This Meme
A typical Big Enough edit pastes the transparent, screaming Jimmy Barnes into the sky of another scene, often keeping his original wail as the audio track3. Common targets are dramatic film or TV moments where a huge sky-bound figure feels comically out of place, like the Jurassic Park kitchen or a Game of Thrones battle3.
