Top 10 musical Memes
December 1st, 2009 by Kieran
Today i will present to you my top 10 musical internet sensations, some of them hilarious, some of them musically brilliant some of them just outright weird!
10) John Lajoie
John Lajoie is a Canadian born musical and comedic genius. He regularly cracks up the internet with his muscal parodies in various different styles, below is his first hit ‘regular everyday normal guy’ where he parodies rap songs in which the rapper boasts about how their life in incredible. Lajoie raps for those of us out there who are a little more average.
9) The Rick Roll
For those of you who don’t understand the importance of Rick Astley’s classic hit ‘never gonna give you up’ it’s simply an internet craze of turning people into fools by telling them you are linking them to one thing and actually linking them to this song. The electronic drums at the start are guaranteed to infuriate them. The more times you get Rick Rolled the more frustrating it is. Judging by the 27 million views on this video alone i would say that is a pretty frustrated world by now.
Chocolate Rain – Tay Zonday
It took me a while to appreciate the true absurdity of this video. The main joke is that the song is very nearly 5 minutes of Chocolate rain and exactly the same melody. it is almost impossible to make it through the entire thing. It’s also a deadly serious song made by the composer Tay Zonday a kid with a ridiculously low and hillarious voice. Pitch for pitch it’s perfectly fine contains absolutely no variation whatsoever.
Chocolate rain has had so much internet covare including t shirts, cds and a Tay Zonday feature on lilly Allen’s T.V show.
But Tay is of course having the last laugh after doctor pepper payed him huge amounts to record an advert parody of chocolate rain.
Well done to the lad i say, he struck it lucky.
7) The Lonely Island
The lonely island have dominated the internet with their incredible hilarious music videos. Below is the first huge hit for them Jizz in my pants featuring Eminem and Justin Timberlake.
6) Ok Go – Here it goes again
Ok go are known for their incredible videos but this one tops the chart. It’s so strangely set but incredibly performed.
5) Trapped in the drive through- Weird Al Yankovic
This amazing parody makes fun of R kelly’s ridiculous ‘hip hop opera’ trapped in the closet. To really appreciate this video first of all you need to see at least the first part of this. Please sit back enjoy and try not to die laughing at R kelly’s serious attempt and failure at being a real musician
ok once you have had a considerable amount of time to realise R kelly has a serious problem, then it’s time to watch Weird Al Yankovic’s incredible parody trapped in the closet.
4) Dedication to John Williams
One man choral dedication to John Williams, including melodies from Indiana Jones, E.t and Superman. All the lyrics are taken from star wars. A truly incredible vocal performance.
3) What What in the Butt – Samwell
A really creepy video featuring possibly the strangest looking mixed race homsexual you may ever see. No one really understands this song, it is however guaranteed you will feel confused, disgusted and be singing this song for a fair few weeks (i appologise)
South park of course had to feature the song in one of their incredible episodes. Below is the audio, i’m afraid i couldn’t find the video with the audio too and the audio is just too good not to hear.
2) Pork And Beans – Weezer
Weezer understand exactly what it takes to dominate the internet’s hardcore audience. They use all the biggest memes from various genres and sections compiled in a video for one of their best songs of late. See how many people you recognise from the video. If the answer is not many then you must not use the internet very much and must have a real life. congratulations!
1) The Ultimate showdown of ultimate history
What an incredible song and video. Again this video combines so many characters that are hugely popular from internet culture (including the highly worshiped Chuck Norris) , written and performed by Neil Cicierega under the pseudonym “Lemon Demon” this song will be on your mind for years. Enjoy

At the top of this blog entry you present Mr Lavoie as a ‘candian’. As he is from Montreal, my guess is he is probably a ‘Canadian’. Thought you would appreciate the typo note.

I’m offended when people say that rap is crap now. It is getting watered down and melding with pop in many areas. This happens to all styles, but musical fusion, is the base of new genres! Crooked I, appeared on a new track, you wouldn’t normally hear him on, as a prime example. Just google Kryptik – V.I.P Ft. Crooked I disease meat
