History Memes / Music

* Interior crocodile alligator / I drive a Chevrolet movie theater[[labelnote:Explanation]]A memorably bizarre pair of lines in the BoastfulRap [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Deh9J8KLLdU "S.L.A.B. Freestyle"]] by Music/ChipThaRipper.[[/labelnotes]]

* Music/FrankieValliAndTheFourSeasons: Walk like a man, sing like a girl[[labelnote:Explanation]]A common snark regarding the falsetto vocals used in songs such as "Cherie," "Big Girls Don't Cry" and, of course, "Walk Like a Man."[[/labelnotes]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UFIYGkROII&ob=av2e "Crank That"]] by Music/SouljaBoy became a memetic ear worm for a fair bit of 2007-08. It also produced a lot of "Crank That" parodies, especially "Kosha Boy", ''Crank Dat Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Brigade" and "Crank Dat Spiderman".

* Chipi Chipi Chapa Chapa[[labelnote:Explanation]]The EarWorm chorus of "Dubidubidu", a 2003 song by the then-10 year old Chilean singer Christell; the song was originally popularized as part of the "Boykisser" meme (stemming from an animation tied to the meme) in October 2023. In December 2023, a [=TikTok=] video showing a cat bobbing its head to the song popularized it outside of the context of the Boykisser meme, and also led it to become a viral song in several Asian countries.[[/labelnote]]

* "Does Music/BrunoMars Is Gay?"[[note]]An article asking if/trying to spread the rumour that Bruno Mars is homosexual, written in very bad English.[[/note]]

* The bridge to "Shine" by Music/CollectiveSoul, chugging guitar riff followed by Ed Rolan abruptly shouting "Yeah!"

** "If (x) came out in 2007."[[note]]The ending of the first Film/{{Transformers}} movie uses "What I've Done". 15 years after that movie and Minutes to Midnight were released, edits of other media cropped up, edited to add "What I've Done" to their respective endings.[[/note]]

** Number nine... number nine... number nine...[[labelnote:Explanation]]The SpokenWord chorus of "Revolution 9," easily the most bizarre track on ''Music/TheWhiteAlbum''.[[/labelnote]]

* "I hate how Music/{{Pavement}} took music so seriously."[[note]]A rather popular [=YouTube=] comment on Pavement videos. Naturally, this comment is ironic, as their music videos were usually silly and some of their lyrics are obviously not too serious either (for example, from the song "Stereo", "What about the voice of [[Music/{{Rush}} Geddy Lee?]] / How did it get so high? / I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy / 'I know him and he does!')"[[/note]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_t8GWyJ4_w I used to roll the dice...]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A sentence-mixing edit of Music/{{Coldplay}}'s "Viva La Vida," referencing [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]], Creator/JackieChan and various memes and crude jokes, that's since been made into numerous lyric videos, usually using related images from franchises such as ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''; one of the most popular versions uses photos of [[VideoGame/YandereSimulator YandereDev]].[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_t8GWyJ4_w I used to roll the dice...]][[labelnote:Explanation]]An edit of Music/{{Coldplay}}'s "Viva La Vida" that's since been accompanied by various related images, usually from other franchises such as ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioE_O7Lm0I4 Bill Conti, "Gonna Fly Now".]] No, it's not called "That Rocky Song".

*** [[NoIndoorVoice THUNDERBOLTS AND LIGHTNING]], VERY VERY FRIGHTENING ME!

** And then we go to the main star of this meme: ''the chorus itself''. "XUE HUA PIAO PIAO, BEI FENG XIAO XIAO..."[[labelnote:Explanation/translation]]The song was actually translated to "the snow falls and the north wind blows". The reason why it became so memetic is because it was misheard as "I give up already". This particular verse has been so popular that by the time Yu-ching retires from his career, there are so many remixes of this song popped up rapidly.[[/labelnote]]

* Naeil naege yeollineun geon big, big stage-'''''*BONK!*'''''[[labelnote:Explaination]]This is actually the chorus snippet of Kpop group Music/{{IVE}}'s music, titled "I AM" from their first full album "I've IVE". One of the scene features the iconic scene of [[https://youtu.be/6ZUIwj3FgUY?t=49 one of their members, Wonyoung, jumping out of the plane.]] The song became viral overtime, until [[https://www.tiktok.com/@portfolio_paulm/video/7221413551511096622 someone managed to do an edit]] of Wonyoung herself jumping on the plane...and then suddenly crashes on the wing, complete with a VERY HARD thud (OUCH!), before it rapidly [[GilliganCut cuts to Yujin looking at the viewer with her suitcase]]. Ever since the aforementioned edit came out, many fans started to do the flop (similar to the edited clip) to the song's choreography, and some as going as far as putting the audio with random people (especially to other K-pop idols getting hit by something or falling down) involved in humorous incidents, or people singing to the song altogether, complete with them saying the thud sound effect out loud! Also, good luck trying to not remember the edit when you saw the plane-jumping scene, because many people admitted that they couldn't hear the song or see the said scene ever again due to seeing that one edit.[[/labelnote]]
