Shadilay is an Italo-disco song by the Italian band P.E.P.E.,[a] released in 1986 by the music label Magic Sound.[1]

It gained attention in 2016 for the band name's similarity to the meme Pepe the Frog, the single's cover also featured a drawing of a cartoon frog.[2] It has since been used as a national anthem for the fictional meme country of Kekistan.[3][4][2]
