Catchy Songs of Questionable Muscial Merit

[beeb375]

There's quite a few songs in my wee collection which, while I find them to be incredibly catchy and addictive, are part of an unescapeably dodgy/age-inappropriate genre. I almost feel ashamed listening to the stuff, but then realise that's a stupid way to think and just give in and enjoy it.

So, this thread is intended for you all to share Youtube/Last FM links of songs you feel a similar way about. Perhaps they have an extremely catchy guitar bit, or easily singable lyrics, post them and let our minds be infected by them too. Now that I've written all that out, it DOES sound like a rather odd concept for a thread, but hopefully at least some of you know what I mean.

I'll get the ball rolling with this. To be fair to Zebrahead, I've seen them twice live and they put on an amazing show, and most of their songs are a bit less poppy than this (this was the year 2000 after all, some of you may recognise it from the film Little Nicky...), but none of the songs has a chorus (0:33) as annoyingly infectious as this. Give it a chance:

Zebrahead - Now or Never

Moldova at this year's Eurovision - possibly the most catchy song in the world!! [HEY HEY!!!!]

Argue about its musical merit all you like, it was in Eurovision.

I was gonna say Ukraine at eurovision this year. I don't know why but I really thought it was catchy, even though everything else about it was pretty awful...

Why does every line end with bum? Ukraine's entries are always so suggestive lol. Remember the one that wong a few years back and also the guy who dressed up in foil last year or the one before?

Another damn Eurovision entry. Ours from '06 this time. And depressingly, I also find Busted strangely wonderful.
