Gimme Chocolate!! - BABYMETAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5YEmFJF9Mw
Anything from Epic Rap Battles of History. While I love them, I do understand others do not.
Dude, they’re the best! The beats, the weirdly awesome announcer voice, the music videos with way too much production budget somehow, and (mostly) historically accurate raps!
But yes, most people I want to show them to would immediately shut it off and shout “language!” Like Captain America.
I remember being enamoured by the backgrounds on the James Bond vs Austin Powers when I got my first phone with an amoled display. That and they were the jumping off point for so much learning for me!
A bunch of anime music.
Pretty much anything by Kesha. I’m known, in my group of friends to be somewhat of a music snob and quasi audiophile… Kesha is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.

Man, my buddies and I were really into jrock. Asian Kung Fu Generation, High and Mighty Color, Orange Rave, Beat Crusaders. So much good stuff
I love AKFG, High and Mighty Color - would also recommend RADWIMPS, Daoko, SHISHAMO
I thought of another one. It’s rare I recommend this to anyone but another musician, so I think you’ll appreciate it as a drummer.
Hell by Clown Core
I recommend Clown Core all the time, but yeah it’s not for normies
So because you reminded that Clown Core exists, I caught up with their recent discography on my phone with headphones. However, about five minutes ago the audio from computers on my phone “suddenly cut out”. I think my mom started up her car, and because I connected the Bluetooth to the car at some point in the
futurepast, the phone instantly decided “yeah let’s pump the user’s audio into this device, I’m sure that’s what he wants”, even though headphones were plugged in, without prompting me 😳.I.e., I think my mom got a few seconds of surprise Clown Core.
She knows I like metal but I don’t know how to explain this 🤣.
Nothing recent, but way back, I was embarrassed that it was called girl anachronism and all about being a girl because I was still a wee lad trying to assert his manliness. “Just a girl” by no doubt, same reason.
Actually, coin-operated boy was a pretty close second

Coin-operated boy
I hope you’ve kept up with Amanda Palmer though, because she’s actually awesome!
Oh for sure, saw her live, still listen to them.
They’re great.
Anything by the Carpenters
Any song from a cartoon musical… They’re so damned catchy though!
Erasure - Always. Perhaps I’m mostly ashamed because of how I picked this song up, from an old Flash game. Or perhaps of the lyrics being kind of bad, but the musical part is so awesome that I can’t help it.
I think everyone on 4chan was in love with that song when the flash game was hot, myself included.
And me. (I was often in 4chan back then) Still, the song is still stuck in my head, after all those years.
Gunther and the Sunshine girls - Ding Dong Song
It’s so outdated and sexist, yet I love it.
Oooh, you touch my tralala.
Oooh, muy ding ding dong
banger of a background track starts
