History
From the 1994 Blur single "Parklife", which features a narrator speaking verbosely about his daily routine at the park, interrupted by regular shouts of "Parklife!". Popularized as a general interjection in 2014 in a Twitter meme comparing the supposed similarities between "Parklife"'s narration and the speaking style of Russell Brand.
