In the right context, any chorus/hook of a song can be a breeding ground for [[Memetic Mutation]]. Many examples here and whole Meme articles have been further mutated through [[Mondegreen|Misheard Lyrics]]. Just do a [[YouTube]] search for them, [[You Can't Miss It|you can't miss 'em]]. See also [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix]] and [[Ear Worm]].

Just a warning: this page is a bit outdated. Youtube being Youtube, many of these links are broken, private, or removed.

** Unfortunately, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtOW1CxHvNY Nancy Pelosi] may have killed it. Way to go, Speaker!
** Good: someone, somewhere, somehow, managed to swap out the movie on Scientology's anti-Chanology propaganda site for a [[Rick Roll]].
*** Unfortunately not - they registered a similar domain name and put up a copy of the Scientology site with the only change being that the original video (naming various anonymous as terrorists/hate criminals/part of a conspiracy between the German psychiatrists and the Marcabian invasion fleet) was replaced by Astley.
** This 16-year-old troper has recently had to explain Rickrolling to his mother, which may indicate it having [[Jump the Shark|jumped the shark]] somewhat. Still not to the extent of Chuck Norris, though.
** In ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'', Brian performs this on-stage in front of a crowd during his time travels with Peter after he fixes the past to preserve his marriage with Lois. However, not really a true Rickroll, as it was probably meant to be played.
** There's a brilliant one of a Beaker performance on [[The Muppet Show]] turned into a rickroll.
** This troper was always surprised how much the song [[The Jimmy Hart Version|resembled the theme music]] for a [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|certain time-travelling robo-buddy]]. Apparently [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ20N6syuwc someone else made a similar connection].

*** And Elvis himself is an earlier example, of course.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwTZ2xpQwpA "Chocolate Rain"] by [[Tay Zonday]], a song with cryptic lyrics about racism, with the phrase "Chocolate Rain" comprising ''every other line'' and music that boils down to the same four-line stanza repeated over...and over...and over...
** [http://www.screwattack.com ScrewAttack] once parodied this in their Shitty-Ass Game of the Year awards to explain just how bad ''Vampire Rain'' really was.
*** When nominated for the 360 SAGY: "Vampire Rain...! It's so boring you might kill yourself. Vampire Rain...! It's supposed to be like Splinter Cell. Vampire Rain...! Its gameplay is downright horrible. Vampire Rain...! No redeeming qualities at all!"
*** Winning the 360 SAGY: "Vampire Rain...! Its gameplay is like a bad joke. Vampire Rain...! You gave it over half of the votes. Chocolate Rain...! The song is not half as bad as the game. Vampire Rain...! Will make you want to sell your 360!"
**** Don't forget: Tay Zonday turns into an absolute pimp in ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2x2W12A8Qow Cherry Chocolate Rain]'', parodying himself and... just being a pimp. No, really. See the video.
** * I move away from the mic to breathe in.
* Kevin Federline's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laynXVsBulg "Popozao"] instantly became the subject of much ridicule due to its silly title (supposedly Brazilian slang for "big ol' butt", according to K-Fed) and odd lyrics, despite never being released as a single. It was parodied quite a bit by Joel McHale on ''[[The Soup]]''.

* Not a meme from a song, but from an artist: Shortly after the 7 July 2005 bombings in London, a story made the rounds that R&B singer Omarion was performing there and had been caught up in the chaos, and asked for his fans to pray for him. This story was proven false (he ''was'' in London at the time, but "he wasn't hurt or anything"), and "Pray for Omarion" quickly became a running joke on Fark.com, as it reminded many of [[The Simpsons|Helen Lovejoy's]] "Won't someone ''please'' [[You Can Panic Now|think of the children]]?"

** In Finland the equivalent joke is "Soittakaa Paranoid!" ("Play Paranoid!", requesting the song by Black Sabbath), first orginated as a joke by a reporter for a local music magazine, since then spiraled out of control. At least two notable bands have also recorded songs called "Paranoid" to have something to play if someone cracks the joke.
** The original memetic joke/heckle request was The Allman Brothers Band's Whipping Post, which is ''[[Epic Rocking|even longer]]'' than live performances of Free Bird, and would use one entire side of an LP. Not that it isn't good. The album the [[Ur Example]] appears on placed on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time at number 49.
* Victorian example: The refrain of Gilbert and Sullivan's "I am the Captain of the Pinafore" ("What, never?" "No, never!" "What, NEVER?"

* In general, upbeat Latin American songs are a ''breeding'' ground for memes. José Luis "El Puma" Rodríguez's themes are such [[Ear Worm|Ear Worms]] that they've been memtic ever since [[The Seventies]]. A good example is "Pavo real" ("Peacock"), with its incredibly catchy chorus: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5ebD6kqke8 CHÉVERE CHÉVERE CHÉVERE CHÉVERE CHÉVERE CHÉVERE - UH!]
** And also the song dedicated to him by his friend Sandro de América... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bRKdTzvkTI ''¡Ese es MI AMIGO EL PUMA!'']

*** ''Sandro'' himself was extremely memetic and [[Large Ham|hammy.]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgUJB_EL02A His very eccentric dancing] has been imitated and copied ever also since [[The Seventies]], and his songs are just as [[Ear Worm|Ear Wormy]] as El Puma's. ''Rosa rosa tan maravillosa, como blanca rosa, como flor hermosa''...
** In some places, the most memetic chorus from El Puma was [http://youtu.be/qCRZysxi60Q Agarense de las manos/Unos a otros conmigo]. It still pops on people of certain age in situations where a holding hands in a group is required.
* ''Sexy Back'' by [[Justin Timberlake]]. And then there's this: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyg8maQSnVc Ladies and gentlemen, your childhood has been slaughtered.]

** [http://xkcd.com/846/ Dear Ke$ha, It's hard to describe the pain of a deeply infected dental nerve. To get an idea, put your hand in a bowl full of ice cubes. Hold them there for 90 seconds.

** ONE! Nothing wrong with me! TWO! Nothing wrong with me!
* [[Dubstep]], known by detractors (and even some fans) as "WUBWUBWUBWUUUUB".
** [[Rebecca Black]]'s "breakout" song, ''[[Music]]/Friday'', is no longer hosted on the net. However, the Dubstep version is. Consequently, a minor trope has emerged, as created by that version, of not allowing lyrics to finish their lines before insertiWUBWUBWUBBADAWUBBADAWUBWUBWUBWUB.
** And now... [[Loading Ready Run|Matt Wiggins]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2hUDFNsZ9E saying "WUBWUBWUBWUB" put through a dubstep filter]... It was termed "Wubstep"
* Lately the song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suRsxpoAc5w "Moves Like Jagger"] by Maroon 5 has been quite popular for videos.

* Not a specific song, but Cronos' [http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2005/08/youre_fuckin_pr.html stage banter] from one particular [[Venom]] show became somewhat memetic by his sheer [[Large Ham|hamminess]]: Someone was amused enough by what they were hearing to bootleg the stage patter (no, not the whole set, ''just'' the stage patter), and it spread pretty far for being pre-internet. [[The Beastie Boys]] sampled a bit of this bootleg at the end of "Mark On The Bus" ("'cos you're ''wild'', man! WIIILD!") and would also reference it in "Dedication" ("This one's for Newcastle, where Venom come from").

* [[Britney Spears]] fans are quite inventive:

** Hold It Against Me has already become memetic.
*** Many mutual fans of Lady Gaga and Britney have coined the term "If I was born this way, would you hold it against me?" to answer back to dedicated fans from either artist as they get pretty tired of having to defend the fact that it's okay to like them both. 
** Due to frequent leaks by the Brit-camp these events are always called Britmas by her fans.
