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]]. |

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 Misheard Lyrics. Just do a YouTube search for them, 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Just a warning: this page is a bit outdated.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.
Kanye West has his own section of memes.
Please add entries in the following format:
- The name of the song.
- Meme name: description of meme and how it's used.
- Source of meme and fandom it relates to in the form of a hot tip.
- Famous instances (such as the Rick Roll during the Thanksgiving parade).
- Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
- Meme name: description of meme and how it's used.
- ITS GETTIN' HOT IN HERRREE
- So take of all yo clothes!
- Girl you know it's girl you know it's girl you know it's girl you know it's girl you know it's girl you know it's girl you know it's girl you know it's girl you know it's girl you know it's girl you know it's...
- Girl you know it's TRUE, ooh-ooh-ooh, we're through...
- A WELL-A EVERYBODY'S HEARD, ABOUT THE BIRD
- I kissed a girl and I LIKED IT!
- Those of us who actually lived through the '90s prefer the original (and still the best!): "I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet/She was just like kissing me/I kissed a girl, won't change the world/But I'm so glad I kissed a girl!"
- "Crank That" by Soulja Boy.
- And for that matter, ANY "Crank That" parody, especially "Kosha Boy", Crank Dat Brigade and "Crank Dat Spiderman".
- "Bitch I look like Goku is becoming one. Unfortunately.
- "Bitch I look like Gohan, smokin' up that marijuana" with a goofy Gohan face is popular.
- Another bizarre, rambling anime song: "Anime", consisting of lyrics like "Lookin' like Death Note" has given us "Anime, Annie-May, I'd fuck dat bitch, any day".
- YOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
- I'm so fresh you can suck my nuts!
- III'm...too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it huuurts...
- Crazy Frog. Damn you, Jamster!
- JA RULE SOUNDS LIKE THE COOKIE MONSTER.
- The Rickroll, which can result in either hilarity or infuriation depending on who you do it to.
- Unfortunately, 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 Rickroll.
- 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 jumped the shark somewhat. Still not to the extent of Chuck Norris, though.
- In 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 resembled the theme music for a certain time-travelling robo-buddy. Apparently someone else made a similar connection.
- LittleKuriboh got married. At the reception, they were expecting Nickelback's "Far Away". What they got was...
- And now the man is going for an EMA.
- And has got it.
- Even Rick Astley himself comments on this strange phenomenon. The results are...interesting, to say the least.
- ... And then Rick Astley RickRolled the 2008 Thanksgiving Day Parade. Does this mean that RickRolling has Ascended Reality Itself? Yes. Yes it does.
- MTV used to interrupt some of their programming with, you guessed it, Rick Astley's famous song.
- Subverted in this xkcd strip.
- YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
- Speaking of xkcd, there's an very subtle Rickroll in this strip. At least if you can read sheet music.
- And... inverted? Zig-zagged? Something'd here.
- LFG's Richard, in a moment of pure epicness, used a Rickroll as a weapon.
- HEE HEE! AOWW!
- Back in the 20th century, Michael Jackson is THE most memetic musician alive.
- Yet his legacy lives on. The proof? There are more MJ impersonators than Elvis.
- And Elvis himself is an earlier example, of course.
- CHAMONE!
- "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...
- 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 Cherry Chocolate Rain, parodying himself and... just being a pimp. No, really. See the video.
- * I move away from the mic to breathe in.
- ScrewAttack once parodied this in their Shitty-Ass Game of the Year awards to explain just how bad Vampire Rain really was.
- Kevin Federline's "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.
- And one life-changing spoken word interpretation by Inside the Actor's Studio's James Lipton on Conan O'Brien.
- And let's not forget the gag dubs swapping Popozao for various other musical memes.
- Ladies and gents, allow me to present... Muslos de Requeson (Cottage Cheese Thighs). That's the fire.
- Hamsterdance.
- Two words: Numa Numa.
- This guy started it.
- Even Chicken Little uses this.
- When you combine "Dragostea Din Tei" with Everything's Better with Dinosaurs, you get this.
- The meme was even more of a hit in Latin America and Spain because of the Spanish Gag Dub version by Los Morancos. Fiesta fiesta y pluma pluma gay, pluma pluma gay, PLUMA PLUMA PLUMA GAY!
- Likewise, in Brazil, a raunchy Portuguese version, "Festa no Apê" (party in my apartment).
- Heck, it was even played for laughs on NCIS.
- And sampled by T.I.
- Yesterday was Thursday Thursday, today it is Friday Friday...
- Don't forget the Bob Dylan version.
- FRIED EGG FRIED EGG
- Spoiler: Back seat!
- Black guy out of nowhere!
- Europe tells us that it's the final countdown.
- Weezer's music video for "Pork and Beans" includes several memes and the people who started them, including Tay Zonday, Chris Crocker ("LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!"), the Dramatic Chipmunk, and several others.
- "The internet is for porn! The internet is for porn! Why you think the 'net was born? Porn! Porn! PORN!"
- Duuuuuuhnuhnuh, duuuuuuhnuhnuh, *Drum beat(x4)*, TAKE EVERYTHING LEFT FROM ME! *Drums* ALL! *Drums* TO! *Drums* BLAME! Duhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuh, duhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuh, DUN, DUN, DUN, DUN!
- Linkin Park's Crawling has become synonymous with Wangst in online communities. Wangsters often find it quoted at them.
- CRRRRAAAWWWWWLLIIIINGGGG IINNNNN MYYYY SKIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN! THESE WOOOOOUUUUNNNNDSSS THEY WILLLLLL NOT HEEEAAALLLLLLLL... Listen at your risk.
- WHAAAAAAAT IIIII'VE DOOOOOONE! I FACE MYSEEEELF! TO CROSS OUT WHAT IIIII'VE BEEEECOOOOME!
- It's like I'm/paranoid lookin' over my back/It's like a/whirlwind inside of my head/It's like I/can't stop what I'm hearing within/It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin....
- I...become so numb!
- "Without You" (Mariah Carey)
- "Ken Lee"—Bulgarian woman... interprets a Mariah Carey song in local Idols. Quoth The Other Wiki, "Hasan's extremely broken English, coupled with her yet undeveloped singing abilities, combined to great comic effect (...)"
- Videos where parts are replaced with Mariach Carey's performance
- Parodies and remixes in multiple musical styles
- Simple Plan's Untitled. AKA The "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEEEEE...." song.
- John Petrucci, Guitar virtuoso, has had a few of his video lessons gag dubbed to make him out as an unearthly guitar god capable of impossible time signatures and playing speeds, not to mention time travel and mass murder through music. His gear is as over the top as his skills.
- John Petrucci? Pfft! Funtwo is way cooler than him!
- When he's underwater does he get wet? Or does the water get him instead? Nobody knows. Particle Man
- Istanbul was Constantinople. Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople. Been a long time gone in Constantinople. Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks!
- It's been seriously suggested that the Discworld book Reaper Man is in fact a novelization of this song. Not as far-fetched as it sounds, as Pratchett is a big fan of TMBG. It was, after all, this song that gives Foul Ole Ron the first half of his Catch Phrase.
- The Ultimate Meme Song. Combines several "popular" memetic songs into one enormous mashup.
- AHHHHHHHH! COME ON FUCKING GUY!
- Oooh, you touch my tra-la-la...oooh, my ding-ding-dong...
- 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 Helen Lovejoy's "Won't someone please think of the children?"
- "Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger! Mushroom, mushroom! Snake, it's a snake!"
- Everyone loves Magical Trevor 'cause the tricks that he does are ever so clever.
- Where can you see lions? Only in Kenya! Lions and tigers, only in Kenya!
- Narwhals, narwhals, swimming in the ocean, causing a commotion, cause they are so awesome...
- Look at my horse! My horse is amazing!
- Tell me, have you seen the marvelous Breadfish?
- The music videos of "Rodeo Machine" and "Screw the Plan" by Japanese DJ Halfby have inspired several Nico Nico Douga users to perform their own live action versions, known as "Nakasone Off" (or offline meetings).
- "Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring, BANANA PHONE!"
- What happens when you replay the Foo Fighters hit Best Of You over and over and over again...
- In other news, FRAN TIC TIICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TIK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK
- WHEN I WAS
- A YOUNG BOY
- MY FATHER
- TOOK ME INTO THE CITY
- TO SEE A MARCHING BAND
- A YOUNG WARTHOG
- WHEN I WAS THE BEST
- WIN HOURS
- I PLAYED THE SILVER BALL
- Since you mentioned The Who: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (Won't Get Fooled Again)
- You spin me right round baby, right round. Like a record baby...
- Yasuri Yamileth's song, whose backstory is made of Poe's Law. Somehow the clip was discovered by a Venezuelan blogger, and suddenly the whole thing grow to memetic proportions in all Latin America and Spain. Spawned an awful lot of parodies, the more memorable was the one who featured drunk men in drag using Gillette razors, after one of the most memorable lines of the song.
- Not music specifically, but the cover of The Beatles' album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Also, Abbey Road and, to a lesser extent, A Hard Day's Night.
- "PAUL IS DEAD". (Miss him, miss him...)
- Four young Liverpudlian lads came to America in 1964, and in just a few years, they changed everything forever!
- The Beatles are an important part of American musical and cultural heritage.
- This meme is crazier than Paul's solo career!
- Fuck you, John.
- Number nine... Number nine... Number nine... Number nine... Number nine... Number nine...
- Super Junior: SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY NAEGA NAEGA NAEGA MEONJEO NEGE NEGE NEGE PPAJYEO PPAJYEO PPAJYEO BEORYEO BABY
- From the same song: DAN DAN DAN DAN...
- HOW TO KEEP
RUBBINGLOVING YOUUUU?
- Gwen Stefani. "This shit is bananas."
- Bee Ay Enn Ay Enn Ay Ess.
- Hey baby, hey baby, HEY!
- "I Don't Want You Back" (a.k.a. "fuck you, you ho") and the response song. For that matter, any song that has a response song could be considered a meme.
- If you're Israeli, you've heard the song "Rotze Banot" (I Want Girls) and/or its various response songs, such as "Rotza Banim" (I Want Boys) and "Rotze Mitzvot," the pious version.
- Sex (sex!) over the phone! Sex, over the phone!
- What what, in the butt?
- Mama Luigi Leaves The Stove On.
- If you've seen Internet people going "Piiipe wrench fiiight", that's from "Take On Me Literal Version", which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
- I walk onto a terrace where I think I'm alone/But Arthur Fonzarelli's got an army of clones...I WHIP MY HEAD TO THE RIGHT!
- Magic photo dance, dunununununuh...
- FREEEEEEEEBIIIIIIRD
- 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 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?" "Well, hardly ever!") was so parroted in its day that a newspaper editor had to specifically ban it among his staff. "I never want to see that joke again," he said... with predictable results.
- The meme's still going strong, having appeared on The Simpsons and in Simon the Sorcerer.
- I am the very model of a Modern Major-General. I've information animal, vegetable, and mineral. I know the kings of England and I quote the fights historical, from Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical.
- "Yakety Sax", also known as the Benny Hill theme, makes anything funny.
- I feel HORRIBLE for laughing at that video. But I can't stop. HALP!
- But can it make Kamina's death or Kittan's death funny?
- The answer to that? Yes, yes it can.
- What about the death of Jesus then?
- . . . Sorry, still funny.
- Electric Six want to take you to a gay bar.
- Flying viking kittens want to start a war! A nuclear war!
- Hikaru and Kaoru want to start a nuclear war at the gay bar! Gay bar!
- Even Bush and Blair are into it!
- So I phoned up the Tally Man, asking him to tally me bananas. Turns out that yes, we have no bananas.
- Jonathan Coulton. "Baby Got Back."
- I like big butts and I can not lie/You other brothers can't deny/That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist/And a round thing in your face...
- All we want to do is eat your brains...
- Anyway, this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist.
- Alanis Morissette's version of "My Humps."
- Speaking of the Black Eyed Peas...
- Gotta get that! BOOM BOOM POW!
- Let's get it started!
- I think you mean Let's get Retarded! The first lines after the intro make absolutely no sense in the edited version - in what context could "let's get it started" be disrespectful?
- "Let's Get It Started" was the more commonly heard version of the song and thus became the memetic version.
- I think you mean Let's get Retarded! The first lines after the intro make absolutely no sense in the edited version - in what context could "let's get it started" be disrespectful?
- Pump it! Louder!
- To the point that Dick Dale, the Sampled Up artist, sings part of it (how much is criticism, is up to you).

- A weird, pre-internet version: 867-5309 was, for a time, considered by the phone company in the US to be completely unusable. (Since then, a plumbing company has taken up the 888 (toll-free) version, and licensed the music to boot.) Still a bad idea to use it for residential purposes, though.
- Damn you, Tommy Tutone!
- This Troper lives near that plumbing company. It's based in Lynchburg, Virginia.[1]
- A quick google search (the internet is not just for tvTropes - or porn!) shows that it was at least one time the national number for Ben Franklin Plumbing - but per their site that's no longer the case.

- Brazil's most famous Musical Meme... for now
- There's another, which foreigners might even understand due to ripping off a famous song.
- While we're in Brazil, a video about a band cancelling an autograph session. Highlights include the fans calling themselves "Restart Family", and angry kids saying "I'll complain a lot in Twitter!" and "puta falta de sacanagem!" (a self-contradictory phrase that's along the lines of "a great lack of fuck-up").
- SALSA ELATE ME!
- "Shine on, you crazy diamond": originally a darkly ironic plea to a bandmate they knew was beyond help, it's become just a way of declaring someone Crazy Awesome.
- Shine on, you crazy shippers...
- "We don't need no education..." While the song was simply Pink further shutting himself off from the world, students around the world have since used it as an anti-school anthem.
- "Ha ha, charade you are!", thanks to Eric Cartman's use of the phrase.
- I hope you knew Fred Durst packs a chainsaw...
- What, no Weird Al? I've got just one thing to say: "They've got allen wrenches, gerbil feeders, toilet seats, electric heaters, trash compactors, juice extractor, shower rods and water meters..."
- Excuse me? Aren't you forgetting something? Namely, to DARE TO BE STUPID! DARE TO BE STUPID!
- Kinda makes me white and nerdy!
- A Czech song, Jozin z Bazin (English translation here; more translations on lyricstranslate.com), became a meme popular in Poland in early 2008. Its sudden popularity culminated with the original performer (Ivan Mladek) coming to Poland to sing a new, Polish version of the song at a concert. Naturally, there are fan music videos of Czech, Polish, Russian and instrumental variants.
- It got covers. From chiptune version to a fast, metal variant by Dawid Mika.
- A possible Shout-Out in The Last Wish: "Duny, Urcheon of Erlenwald" in the original "Jeż z Erlenwaldu" aka Emhyr var Emreis, who was introduced when turned into half-hedgehog and hunted down a lot, yet he survived — in the early books Sapkowski deliberately parodied and turned inside out fairy tales and fantasy tropes, such an in-joke would fit.
- It's Peanut Butter Jelly time!
- What I'm pretty sure is a purely Australian example Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again? by the Angels:

- In a similar vein, "For twenty-four years, I've been living next door to Alice..."

- And I jizz! In! My pants!

- And I jizz! In! My pants!
Ooh, watcha say? Ooh, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did. |
- Lady Gaga: P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face!
- Try, as this troper did, substituting "f" sounds for the "p"s. It gets even better.
- Ascended thanks to Kid Cudi's single "Make Her Say", which samples the acoustic version and apparently was, at first, going to be titled "Poke Her Face," until Executive Meddling feared the Moral Guardians would go after the label and made them change the title.
- Try, as this troper did, substituting "f" sounds for the "p"s. It gets even better.
I make her say/Oh oh oh oh/when I/P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face. |
- I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me...

- And the same band's "This Too Shall Pass", consisting of an elaborate Rube Goldberg Device.
- Who wears short shorts?
- While not music per se, Kanye West's now-infamous interruption of Taylor Swift at the VMA's has reached meme status. Various Image Macros would like you know something along the lines of "Yo TV Tropes, I'm happy for ya and Imma let you finish, but Encyclopedia Dramatica has one of the best meme databases OF ALL TIME."
- According to Know Your Meme's statistics, within days Kanye's outburst was one of the most well-known mainstream memes of all time, far surpassing other celebrity outbursts like Christian Bale's.
- Yo, Kanye West, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Chuck Norris had one of the best memes of ALL TIME!
- To quote President Obama: "He is a jackass."
- Yo, Kanye West, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Chuck Norris had one of the best memes of ALL TIME!

- Ualuealuealeualeualuealealeualualeaue...: a clip of Adam Wast!Batman from having being drugged by villains in the first episode of the series with the audio changed to a loop of the fist verse of Chombo's song Chacarron Macarron. Said song was memetic enough by itself due to being pure gibberish.
- Combine the unusual-sounding song "Dame tu cosita" with a video of a weird animation of a CGI martian dancing to it and internet penchant for non-sensical challenges, and you have the Dame Tu Cosita Challenge, the phenomenon of people dancing to the song with the martian steps that sweeped several social networks in 2018. Somehow this version of the song and accompanying dance craze managed to get into Just Dance Unlimited. Even El Chombo himself was weirded by this one.
- In truth the whole series of Chombo-produced albums titled "Cuantos de la Cripta", lit. "Tales from the Crypt" (don't be confused with the series of the same name), due to their idiosincratic intros and earm-worm songs
- Lil' Jon's YEAH!, thanks once again in part to Dave Chappelle's portrayal of him (though one would say he wasn't too far off on the frequency of Jon's usage of the word).

- In general, upbeat Latin American songs are a breeding ground for memes. José Luis "El Puma" Rodríguez's themes are such Ear Worms that they've been memtic ever since The Seventies. A good example is "Pavo real" ("Peacock"), with its incredibly catchy chorus: CHÉVERE CHÉVERE CHÉVERE CHÉVERE CHÉVERE CHÉVERE - UH!
- And also the song dedicated to him by his friend Sandro de América... ¡Ese es MI AMIGO EL PUMA!
- Now in chewing gum ad form!
- Sandro himself was extremely memetic and hammy. His very eccentric dancing has been imitated and copied ever also since The Seventies, and his songs are just as 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 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.
- And also the song dedicated to him by his friend Sandro de América... ¡Ese es MI AMIGO EL PUMA!
- Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake. And then there's this: Ladies and gentlemen, your childhood has been slaughtered.
- One of my teachers bought that Album. For the sole purpose of lending it to a friend. For the sole purpose of, a week later, asking him to bring the sexy back.

- Wake up in the mornin' feelin' like P. Diddy...
- This troper would like to interject here with a public service announcement that it is, in fact, not wise to attempt to brush one's teeth with a bottle of Jack.
- Of course, how potentially harmful it is depends on exactly how you interpret those lyrics. Does one attempt to brush their teeth by dumping a bottle of jack on their tooth brush? Or does one attempt to put toothpaste on the bottle of Jack?
- 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. Now imagine that pain in your jaw, every minute of every hour, bright and searing, washing out everything. You can't party all night. You can barely stand up. There's only the pain. So, some friendly advice: when you wake up in the morning, before you brush your teeth with a bottle of Jack, brush them with actual toothpaste.
- Stop ta-ta-talking that blah, blah, blah...
- The party don't start till I walk in...

- Which goes into Harsher in Hindsight as he has passed away. :(
- Microsoft Songsmith generates music to accompany vocals, so naturally people started feeding it vocal tracks from famous songs to see what it would spit out. Weezer - "Buddy Holly" comes out as a slow piano track, Billy Idol - "White Wedding" comes out as a county track with a banjo, Ozzy Osbourne - "Crazy Train" comes out as a polka, etc.
- Waking the Cadaver is best known for the SHREDDED WHEAT!!!!!! meme. The band hasn't commented on this, but considering vocalist Don Campan's notorious lack of sense of humor, they may or may not be amused.
- EHH YEAA EHH, IT'S A PARTY IN THE USA!!!!

- De-tach-a-ble Peeee-niiiiiiissss...
- A dark version of this. Gackt's decade old joke about being a 496 year old vampire has been quoted out of context for so long that even presumably legitimate news sources have treated this as a serious belief of his. He has since corrected this at the Nemuri Kyoshiro press conference, where he released his actual age to the public so the joke would die. It hasn't.
- Also, within the fandom, his love of Hyde, "fiyaa" and his unceasing use of the word dakishimete in nearly every song he has ever written are memes.

- It was only last month (December 2010) that Irish Facebook users seemed to be constantly liking pages to do with this song. It was actually unusual when you looked at the pages your friends liked, and it WASN'T anything to do with 'Horse Outside'. Seems to be mostly over now, though. Mostly.
- Two words: Hot Limit. Three more words: We Drink Ritalin.

- Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste...
- I was listening to a couple of these songs with the volume on full blast. A bunch of them were so bad that my mom got scared and said "You're moving with your auntie and your uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said "Fresh" and there were dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought, naw, forget it, yo holmes to Bel-Air. I pulled up to the house about seven or eight and said to the cabbie "Yo holmes smell ya later." Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
- The lyrics get used an awful lot [dead link] in jokes a lot [dead link].
- The music itself gets remixed with almost everything. It's gotten "anything goes with the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Theme" status.
- ...for you and me: JOO-JOO JOO-JOO JOO-JOO JOO-JOO JOO-JOO, I can feel it coming in the air tonight... night... night... Oh lawd.
- The Eurovision Song Contest is a Fountain of Memes in its own right, but special mention goes to Epic Sax Guy.
- The forced meme itself, parodies, and Warhammer 40,000 version Strolling through Ultramar mixing it with an older concept.

- MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark, All the sweet, green icing flowing down, Someone left the cake out in the rain, / I don't think that I can take it, Cause it took so long to bake it, And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no!
- Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!

- 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... Matt Wiggins saying "WUBWUBWUBWUB" put through a dubstep filter... It was termed "Wubstep"
- Lately the song "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 has been quite popular for videos.

- Not a specific song, but Cronos' stage banter from one particular Venom show became somewhat memetic by his sheer 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").
- And we're banned from Argo, ev'ry one ...
- NUGGET BISCUIT NUGGET IN A BISCUIT
- DIP IT ALL IN MASHED POTATOES!
- Britney Spears fans are quite inventive:
- Godney, The New Thing, various quotes from her songs and statements.
- The Holy Spearit has since taken off as a Fan Name for her.
- 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.
- You put the lime in the coconut and shake it all around.
- Promise by Hirose Kohmi. Two words: GET DOWN.
- It originated after a Niconico video posted it playing over a glitch in Golden Eye 1997 that makes the characters look like they're dancing.
- Next was this video and every example after that follows the exact same formula.
- Open the door! Get on the floor! Everybody walk the Dinosaur!

- ↑ However, I don't have the company's exact name on me; a commercial for it airs only on WSET (coincidentally a Lynchburg-based TV station), and I don't typically watch that channel. I'm on my computer (editing TV Tropes articles) when it airs, and I'm scared I'll risk a Mondegreen by adding it here.
- ↑ Rick Ross' "Hustlin'".
- ↑ Except those who find them perfectly intelligible.
- ↑ Greatest of All Time

- ↑ Used to cap off a particularly bizarre Long List and lampshade how silly it sounds.
- ↑ Stock response of someone being asked what their favorite type of music is. You've probably encountered it at least once.
