Mr. Brightside is catchy as hell.

Hecuba · « **Reply #51 on:** 31 Dec 2004, 11:25 »

The first two that come to mind are 'I Saw Cinnamon' by Dressy Bessy (actually, pretty much anything by Dressy Bessy ever... seriously.) and 'The Future Freaks Me Out' by Motion City Soundtrack. Oh, and 'Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side' by the Magnetic Fields (but that's more of a subtle kind of catchy).

"Evil" by Interpol is not only Interpol's catchiest song, but one of the catchier songs ever written.

Totally, its the reason i set out to buy th cd, however , i only found the demo with "evil" and "narc"

But i didnt read all of them to see if its ben said, but a lot of weezer's stuff is catchy.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #57 on:** 02 Jun 2005, 11:45 »

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.

I also tend to get MDM songs stuck in my head, curse their hooky choruses! Arch Enemy are particularly good at doing this.

Quote from: betteroffdead

"our retired explorer (dines with michel foucault in paris, 1961"- the weakerthans

Goddamnit, that one's been in my head all week. Also, Plea from a Cat
Named Virtue.

The Black Keys write some seriously catchy songs, too. 10 AM Automatic and Til I Get My Way, for example, are impossible to get out of your head after listening to them, oh, fifty times in a row or so.

Someone mentioned Staring at the Sun by TV on the Radio. I agree, but I'd have to say that song would have been a lot better if the rest of the album had been at all listenable.

My Red Hot Car - Squarepusher

I don't like any of these songs but they are catchy

Apply Some Pressure - Maximo Park
Honest Mistake - The Bravery
Toxic - Britney Spears

And I can't remember what it's called, but the song that goes "You spin me right round baby, right round"

Ironically, "Can't get u outta my head" by Kylie Minogue is also quite hard to get out of your head.

AND I WANT IT THAT WAY!

Aphi · « **Reply #70 on:** 02 Jun 2005, 16:44 »

Toxic...I'll agree with that. It's demonic catchiness powers are irresistible. It's like they create a force-field that pulls at the pelvic region in a circular motion... =cough= sorry, that's what Chris said. ^^

AAAGGGHHH! You don't know how often my brother plays King Herod's song on the piano. He is not very good at it, and it's really annoying. But sometimes me and him rock out to "Pilate And Christ".

Also, I've only seen Avenue Q, and only once, so I've only heard each song once. And I remember all of them. They are uber-catchy. My personal favorites were "Schaddenfreude", "Give Us Your Money", and that "The more you ruv someone, the more you want to kirr dem" one. That was comic gold.

My vote for catchiest song ever is Howl A Little by The Sugarplastic. See for yourselves:

The Arrogant Worms--Canada is Really Big

La Creme · « **Reply #75 on:** 02 Jun 2005, 21:44 »

Or just anything by the Worms. Speaking of them I haven't been on a trampoline in a while. They used to be me and my friend Jordy's "sing on the trampoline band". That, plus me and him chant "Meat Sandwich" by GWAR just about we see the other eating a meat sandwich. We've also been known to break out in "Tropical Iceland" every once in a while. Have fun getting THAT one out of your head!

Praeserpium Machinarum · « **Reply #76 on:** 02 Jun 2005, 22:27 »

Amen to Tropical Iceland, definitely a catchy song.
I think most of Wild like Children by Tilly and the Wall is fairly catchy, and
Travis is also catchy, 13 Memories in particular.
Global Eyes by The The, which is catchy in a pretty sinister way.
Even Tom Waits has been know to be catchy, in his own way, on Real Gone, fx. Trampled Rose and Hoist that Rag...

i always thought that dude was boy george when i was ten.

i think the futureheads ("decent days and nights" specifically) are pretty damn catchy, and a lot more enjoyable than the hot hot heat

and i agree about doom/geedorah/victor vaughn being really good, but i'm not sure how catchy that dude is. i liked the song with the line about duck sauce soy sauce you don't get no toy boss. i don't remember the exact wording for that one offhand though.

and his steel mask is pretty cool when you see him live as motherfuckin doom

That Badger song was (and is still) the soundtrack to our media room, being as the paper we write for is, conveniently, called The Badger.
So that damn song has been stuck in my head for TWO YEARS.

Lightning Bolt - Dracula Mountain. There's one part in that song that's been lodged in my head for months. Which is a good thing. Also, Toto - Rosanna. Soft-rock perfection, and about as easy to shift as baked-in grease.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #97 on:** 05 Jun 2005, 02:51 »

Although it's unlikely anyone here will identify with this, but bad power metal is often scarily catchy: Winterlong - Nosferatu, Ninja Magic - Return of the Ninja, stuff like that.
