I have to say that 'Burn, Piano Island, Burn' by the Blood Brothers is very catchy, and I only kinda like it. I've often gone around humming that bit about pollinating the flowers of fire.


BOLEMIC RAINBOWS VOMIT, WHAT! Haha, God, I love that song. I remember I had to review it right when that album came out (wow, a while ago) and hering it for the first time ensued the reaction "WTF MATE?".

I dunno for me:
The Safes - Sing Along
WEEZER
That aweful Ashlee Simpson song
Motion City Soundtrack - The Future Freaks Me Out
Hot Hot Heat
Electric Six - Gay Bar
Eagles Of Death Metal - I Only Want You
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
Ted Leo/Rx - Timorous Me

Transplants -- DJ DJ... seriously, it's been stuck in my head for days now.

Also, pretty much anything from the Hives, Hot Hot Heat, Fiery Furnaces, and a handful of White Stripes songs (for me, mostly Blue Orchid, Hypnotize, Black Math, and We're Going To Be Friends)

I'd forgotten all about that song too, so I went and downloaded it. It's good! Next time I see my mate Yorkie I'm going to have to chat Len with him, I know he liked them back in his youth.

Thats about on par with "Badger badger badger badger badger badger..."
It doesn't help much that I live in the 'Badger' State.  All over stores are named Badger This and Badger That... blah blah.
That song is impossible to get out of my head.

Speaking of catchy internet songs... anybody mention this yet?
"Its peanut butter jelly time!  Its peanut butter jelly time!"

Maxwell's Silver Hammer - The Beatles


Seconded. I want to actually start a band called the Maxwell Silverhammers. They did it with The Boo Radleys, so why not? I think it sounds good.

Besides whatever I said earlier:
Chameleon - Herbie Hancock [Headhunters Band]
Angel Eyes - Roxy Music
My Iron Lung - Radiohead
Just - Radiohead
Saphire Bullets Of Pure Love - TMBG
Kindred Spirits - Liquid Tension Experiment
Congo Square At Midnight - Chuck E. Weiss (basically just the jewish Tom Waits)
The Suits Are Picking Up The Bill - Squirrel Nut Zippers
Danger Woman - The Aquabats
Sleepwalkers - TMBG

etc.

Can't remember if it's been said yet, but evey year, we have this fundraiser at my school. It's called 'stop the madness', and for good reason.

Anyone remember The Hamster Dance? Yeah, you know the one I'm talking about. Well, once every year, they play the hamster dance over the PA system NONSTOP all day until they get fifty dollars in donations.


it went on for two weeks before they realized that not only were the students burnt-out, the teachers were going mad.


Anywho, that song has been burned into my brain for all eternity.

Your school hates you.


Also, Captain Beefheart is the uncatchiest music ever. He's like the anti-catch...ness. It's amazing.

I wouldn't disagree with that. ^^ Why do you think the campaign was called 'stop the madness'? It came to the point where students would show up first thing in the morning with ten dollar bills, hoping to shut the damned thing up sooner. Even the TEACHERS started donating.


All in all, it raises a lot of money.

Lucky me, stop the madness week starts next monday. =rolls her eyes=

Er, you have heard the album 'Clear Spot' right?

Aphi, this is one of those times in your life where in years to come you will sorely regret not skiving off until they knock this bullshit off if you don't do it. Seriously, I really wish I'd spent more time skiving off school when I was younger.

As much as I like wumpscut, i'm going to have to say that version is pretty lame.  But I think the hamster dance is lame in general so that may be a misleading statement.

Did you take his wallet? It's always nice to reap the benefits of a nice crap-beatin'. And I do so love the beatin's.

And hey, at least the song is about cats. As opposed to something like snails. Snails don't have that 'musical quality' that cats do.


Quote from: La Creme
Chameleon - Herbie Hancock [Headhunters Band]

Agreed. I would also like to add that Herbie Hancock is completely peachy, and that the songs King Cobra and One Finger Snap are catchy as well.

I would also like to include:

Come On Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners (I know some of you are going to say something like, "HOLY CRAPXORZ, THAT SONG IS POOP." but I really kinda like it.)
Fish Heads - I have no idea who it's by, but on my computer it's credited to a Dr. Demento CD. (I think it's kinda cute. In a really creepy 'get away from my house before I call the cops' kinda way.)
California Dreamin' - The Mommas and The Poppas
Friend Of The Friendless - The World Inferno Friendship Society


That's all I can think of right now.

Anything off of "Heartwork" by Carcass.  Plus "Corporal Jigsore Quandary".

Come On Eileen - Dexys Midnight Runners


Skyclad covered that. Fidddddles!

Speaking of the 'clad, they have some mighty catchy tracks. Helium, Fainting by Numbers, Crux of the Message, Spinning Jenny, Jumping My Shadow, Little Miss Take, History Lessons, On With Their Heads!, Penny Dreadful and Schadenfreude come to mind, as well as A Good Day to Bury Bad News and Hybrid Blues from the Ridley album. The Clan Destined's only completed track 'Swingin' Like Judas' is pretty catchy too. Hell folk metal in general:

Finntroll - Midnattens Widunder/Vargtimmen/Det Iskalla Trollblod/Fiskarens Fiende/Kitteldags/Forsvinn Du Som Lyser etc.
Korpiklaani - Crows Bring the Spring/Shaman Drum/Wooden Pints/Gods of the Wind etc.
Wuthering Heights - The Bollard/Land of Olden Glory/Longing For the Woods etc.
Cruachan - Susie Moran/Ride On/Bloody Sunday/Viking Slayer etc.
Waylander - Born to the Fight/Plague of Ages/King of the Fairies
The Lord Wierd Slough Feg - Sky Chariots

and so forth.

Since LightThievesAll has already gone for Carcass, I might as well stop not mentioning crap like that. Huge amounts of death metal and melo-death are catchy as crap:

Bloodbath - Outnumbering the Day/Ominous Bloodvomit/Breeding Death/Eaten/Cancer of the Soul/Trail of Insects etc.
Grave - Soulless/Into the Grave/Haunted/Extremely Rotten Flesh etc.
Pretty much all of the first two Gorerotted albums
Arch Enemy - Leader of the Rats/Ravenous/We Will Rise/Angelclaw
Pretty much all Arsis

and so on. Some black metal as well, I've always found Immortal really catchy.


yahr.

I apologise. And laugh, which may detract from the sincerity of aforementioned apology...

I dunno about 'Moonlight in Vermont', but that 'Moon Over Parma' song from the Drew Carey Show was quite catchy...
