"I want chicken, I want liver, meow mix meow mix please deliver!"
You monster, that'll be stuck in my head all night.
Listen to Baby Shark to get the meow mix song out.
Gunther and the Sunshine girls - Ding Dong Song
It's so outdated and sexist, yet I love it.
I thought of another one. It’s rare I recommend this to anyone but another musician, so I think you’ll appreciate it as a drummer.
Hell by Clown Core
I recommend Clown Core all the time, but yeah it's not for normies
Vitas has a phenomenal vocal range.
Catchy tunes and a variety of styles. But this video, as catchy as the tune is, is just… bonkers. The outfit is … something, the technique he uses while singing is … yeah. It’s that weird.
And this one I’m not ashamed to share… and is the one that brought him to my attention (especially when it gets to the hook) years back when it was making the rounds.
Nothing recent, but way back, I was embarrassed that it was called girl anachronism and all about being a girl because I was still a wee lad trying to assert his manliness. "Just a girl" by no doubt, same reason.
Actually, coin-operated boy was a pretty close second
Girl anachronism - Dresden Dolls

I hope you've kept up with Amanda Palmer though, because she's actually awesome!
Anything from Epic Rap Battles of History. While I love them, I do understand others do not.
Dude, they're the best! The beats, the weirdly awesome announcer voice, the music videos with way too much production budget somehow, and (mostly) historically accurate raps!
But yes, most people I want to show them to would immediately shut it off and shout "language!" Like Captain America.
Pretty much anything by Kesha. I'm known, in my group of friends to be somewhat of a music snob and quasi audiophile... Kesha is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.
Trailer Park Boys - The Kittyman Sea Shanty
Who could dislike a cat version of the wellerman? I love it!
Any song from a cartoon musical... They're so damned catchy though!
Animaniacs - Yakko's World

You're welcome. 👍
I think my favorite in that genre might just be Prince Ali, is that kinda what you were thinking?
Released literally this week: On-lyne "Party of your lifetime". It's from an upcoming update for a game called Warframe, and it's basically distilled 90s boyband earworm. It's like Backstreet Boys and N Sync had a bunch of boy babies, fed them crack and taught them to sing. And for some reason I unironically LOVE it - I've been listening to it on repeat for hours, I need help :P
My heart is made of bubblegum eurodance so basically all of it is too infantile and silly for most anyone to get into it.
Erasure - Always. Perhaps I'm mostly ashamed because of how I picked this song up, from an old Flash game. Or perhaps of the lyrics being kind of bad, but the musical part is so awesome that I can't help it.
ROBOT UNICORN ATTAAAAAAAAAAACK
I think that was the first endless runner that I've played. It all felt so stupid, but so sublime
I think everyone on 4chan was in love with that song when the flash game was hot, myself included.
I'm surprised there's no kpop here
Girls Generation was always my guilty pleasure from back when kpop was first starting to blow up in the West.
This Suno-generated abomination, along with several more bass heavy songs I asked it to put together for fun.

I think this is the ideal use of AI, the dumb stuff that would be expensive to convince someone to sit down and create.
A bunch of anime music.
I'm a big fan of the Tiger Lillies, partly because they are so transgressive and weird, and in 2024 it's quite hard to justify to anyone why you're listening to a man with a child's voice yell "I like sticking red hot pokers up the local choir boy's bums..." in a song called Kick A Baby (Down the Stairs)
I love this whole band's output, but the hardest one to explain immediately would probably be My Ass is On Fire by Mr. Bungle
Some not-so-memed eurobeat like Wonderland, Supermaio and Go Godzilla Go, and power metal like Go Go Power Ranger and my new favorites Judgement Day and Ashes of the Dawn by DragonForce, and Would You Be So Kind and Absolutely Smitten by Dodie, and the whole album of Everlasting Summer by Seycara
Yes i'm a very quiet person irl so some of the song is like completely opposite of me.
I wanna be a cowboy - Boys Don't Cry
Just pure sillyness, with a Lemmy cameo in the video.
I love the song "Hard to concentrate" by Red Hot Chili Peppers, BUT try showing this to someone your romantically interested in or even not and it can come off like you're throwing serious hints. Maybe even in an overbearing way, when really, I just friggin like the song!
Edit: there's also this one that's catchy and good. NSFW though: https://youtu.be/_wlDCosZ8mg?si=ToWFLPZdXJ9UYX0q
Britney Spears - Lucky 👀
