Let’s start with the meme song king, the Rick Roll. For some reason, people are still obsessed with this song and Rick Astley’s awkward shimmy back and forth. For its meme-ness, it shows up as a joke when you’re least expecting it. This is what’s known as “Rick Rolling.” Everyone enjoys this joke every now and again, but some kids are obsessed with...
Shrek was amazing. This song is amazing. And both have risen to the level of meme God. It’s unclear which is the more perfect meme song: All Star or Never Gonna Give You Up. Either way, this one is used in many forms all over the internet, and I think every kid and young adult in America knows it well.
It’s not often a song is both one of the greatest songs ever written AND a legendary meme, but this Simon and Garfunkel classic does both well. In meme form, the opening singing is often played dramatically over little mistakes that happen in videos as the screen fades to black and white, often accompanied by a dramatic zoom and photoshopped tears.
I actually enjoy Nickelback (though it’s not always good to admit it), but I also understand why the angsty stylings are often the perfect breeding ground for memes. Combine this with the scene where they hold up a picture frame, and you’ve got a photoshop recipe for fun. Even Nickelback appreciates these jokes, though, so don’t feel too bad for th...
This song used heavy synth in its instrumentation and paired with the music video; it’s inspired a number of memes and animation covers. Much of them pair very poor cartooning or video editing with the song, making the song feel much older and funnier than it was intended. It probably would have been a short-lived joke if not for its pairing with a...
The movie Titanic rocked the world in many ways, only one of which was this iconic song. If you were around at the time (man, I’m getting old), this song played way too much on the radio, and its public popularity turned against it after a while. Then, it rose back into meme popularity when the best-known cover of the iconic opening was played (bad...
If you’d have told people back in 2012 that a Norweigian comedy duo would top the world’s music charts by singing a techno song about fox sounds, they’d have said you were crazy. With the benefit of hindsight, we know better now. Even to this day, one can yell out, “What does the fox say?” and they’ll likely hear a rousing chorus of ring-a-ding-din...
Lazy Town is an Icelandic kid’s show that is still firmly ensconced in the world of memery, though this particular song was popular for a sad reason. The actor who played this role got sick with cancer, so folks started a GoFundMe to help pay his medical bills. To help bring attention to this cause, many people made parodies of this song and pushed...
In 1985, this song, with its comic book-like music video, stormed the world. Since then, it’s remained fairly popular, though it’s spawned several well-meaning covers (two famous ones include one by Weezer and one by Family Guy). It mainly pops up at fantastical and hilarious moments in otherwise normal videos. This song is also on our list of the ...
Sometimes I just have to scratch my head at why certain songs are elevated to legendary status. This song from the children’s show, The Backyardigans, has certainly left its mark. It is catchy, and some people love the “ugh” sound that pops up. I didn’t even know this was a meme until 100 high schoolers at a marching band camp I worked at freaked o...
