Question: Creating the definitive audio meme collection

c:\awesome — Tue, 12 Dec 2006 17:39:27 -0800

I'd like to create the definitive musical collection of internet memes for my own personal library. I need your help finding the real gems.

The ones I have so far are:

1. The Grape Lady Techno Remix

2. Steve Ballmer's Developer Remix

3. KKKramer (NSFW)

4. One Bank

I'd consider including the Picard song too, but it's too short... maybe as a hidden track. I don't care how old they are, but newer memes would be preferred... unless, of course, you know where I can find the "I Like Sex" song by Mahir.

I'm also not looking for songs that were used in a video meme (i.e. the Numa Numa song, the song that "Where the Hell is Matt" dances to, the Asian Backstreet Boys, etc.), because those songs aren't original to the meme. I'd like this to be limited to only original meme audio.

Thanks!

A little old, but That Ray song was making the rounds quite a bit.

Many of the all time top viewed on ytmnd feature memetic audio and/or songs. A good starting point at least.

The Picard song is actually about 4.5 minutes long -- the YTMND just uses the briefest of clips. Search for the Picard Song by DarkMateria. It's fantastic. You know, in that nerd sorta way. (E-mail's in my profile if you can't find it)

Here is The Picard Song in its entirety. It is good. You should also check this out. It seems to be almost exactly what you are attempting.

Oh my word, KKKRamer is so funny.

Don't forget "Fhbwgads (Everybody to the Limit)" from Homestar Runner (...however that's spelled.)

"Only in Kenya" (info).

"Zero Wing Rhapsody" -- I'm not sure exactly where this falls, but since these lyrics and this recording are both original to the meme, it seems fair to include it.
