* The song "Futari no Mojipittan" from Namco's Japanese word-puzzle game ''Kotoba no Puzzle'' has proven quite popular, ranging from ''[[The Idolmaster (video game)|The Idolmaster]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh2VTx1rB7Y covers] to ''[[Xenosaga]]'' remixes (which have themselves been [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOwTijS6xHQ appropriated]) to ''[[Touhou]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GUcVeOHJiA homages].

* 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.

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.</ref>

* While not music per se, [[Kanye West]]'s now-infamous interruption of [[Taylor Swift]] at the VMA's has reached meme status. Various [[Image Macro~~|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."

* 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]].

* 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!
