Infectious Novelty Songs on YouTube

[worldbasketball]

Searching thousands of songs on YouTube, you come across song here or there that just grabs your attention when you hear them and stick in your mind. The songs may not have charted, they may be an original, a cover or a parody, but they are so infectious or catchy.

Of course we are not searching for real artistic value, but that "x factor" in the song that makes it infectious and catchy like for example Rebecca Black now infamous "Friday"

The Piglets - Johnny Reggae

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lJDeYIh4No

I love it as it has a basketball reference as well LOL

Lyrics

"What's he like, Mavis? He's a real tasty geezer!

He's grown his hair a bit but it's smooth, not too long
An' he wears a baseball shirt with a number 17 on
He looks great in his big white basketball boots
He's stupid over football an' he looks me in the eyes when he shoots

Reggae, Reggae, Reggae
Here comes Johnny Reggae
Johnny Reggae, Reggae, lay on me

Reggae, Reggae, Reggae
Here comes Johnny Reggae
Johnny Reggae, Reggae, lay on me

He'll always start a fight for me, he's always on the phone
At the dance hall in the evening he'll always take me home
In his fringe and buckle stompers and his two-tone tonic strides
He's a real tasty geezer an' I'm his here inside

Reggae, Reggae, Reggae
Here comes Johnny Reggae
Johnny Reggae, Reggae, lay on me (4X)

Johnny Reggae!

Reggae, Reggae, Reggae
Here comes Johnny Reggae
Johnny Reggae, Reggae, lay on me) (2)

Reggae, Reggae, Reggae
Here comes Johnny Reggae"

Arash (Persia / Sweden) in "Melody"

Although technically this is an official music video released by Warner Sweden, it is done very much as a novelty record of many different people (fans) dancing to the tune. Arash only appears briefly for a few seconds during the video and at the end. Basically a video in which the people appearing just make fun of themselves...

I am sure it is popular for the hundreds of people who were included in the video.

Plus it is a clever attempt by Arash Labaf to show his multicultural and international appeal despite the song being in Farsi.

He made a series of concerts in Canada with Arab megastar Amro Diab and he was just great.

Same concept was used by Bob Sinclar feat Steve Edwards in "Together". This is the DJ Muka Extended Video Edit in just using ordinary fans in the video instead of the main act... This is just great to watch really
