What are some amazing virally-disseminated music songs from the internet from 2008?
I'm putting together a list of the best/weirdest/catchiest internet-disseminated and -popularized songs from this year. They don't necessarily have to have been recorded this year (so Sonseed is definitely on the list), nor do they have to have an amusing video or animation associated with them, though that certainly is a major bonus. I'm JIMP in anticipation of your fantastic answers!

Both Pazazygeek and Inspector.Gadget are talking about Parry Gripp. Check out this roundup of his stuff.

Thirding Parry Gripp (who's also one of nicest guys in the world, by the way). All of his songs qualify.
Jizz in My Pants. Even though it was on SNL, it's one of the biggest web videos of '08.
Also, this Lil' Jon/Lazytown mash-up was huge until the Lazytown people found it. Link DEFINITELY NSFW

I would also argue that this was the year of Rick Astely's "Never Gonna Give You Up". No link or explanation necessary.

Well it was popularized and universally acknowledged to be #1 on my list last year so I don't really want to repeat myself...though maybe that's just what they'd expect? Or i could count the Best Possible Remix.

Along the same lines as the Lazytown mash-up, I'd say that one of the songs of the year is definitely M.O.P.'s "Ante Up," thanks to this Bert & Ernie lipsync video.
