# 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 sky[1]. The clip shows Barnes' face and torso ghosted over sweeping shots styled after the American Old West as he holds a piercing high note[1]. 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 backdrop[3]. The absurd contrast between his operatic wail and mundane or dramatic settings turned the audio into a favorite tool for YouTube remixers in late 2017[2]. ## How It Spread The meme took off on September 8, 2017, when the Tumblr blog paper-mario-wiki posted an isolated clip of Barnes' section, which pulled more than 109,000 notes inside a month[2]. That same day, YouTuber Adam Downer reuploaded the excerpt, and it soon landed on the Know Your Meme front page under the title "Screaming Cowboy"[3]. Remixes followed quickly. On September 24, YouTuber r0wd3 posted a version that dropped the screaming cowboy into a Jurassic Park scene, pulling over 157,000 views in two weeks[3]. The next day, Jake Hobbs mashed the audio into the Screaming Sun sequence from Rick and Morty[3]. On September 26, Redditor Boogi29 submitted the full music video to r/listentothis, pushing the track out to a wider audience[4]. By October 4, 2017, the format was mature enough for compilations. YouTuber MakeItStop edited Barnes over a fire-breathing dragon in Game of Thrones, while Red Lama posted a montage of screaming cowboy remixes on the same day[3]. ## How to Use 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 track[3]. 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 battle[3]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Big Enough?
