The original Rasputin, but also the nightcore remix on NightcoreLounge
I'm not exactly sure why, but I thought Abba was the artist
What does the fox say?
(Uhee ahee ahee)
Pirate Metal!
I too dabble in alestorm and rumahoy
Edit: should checkout wind rose if you want to try some dwarven metal
Did you know there is ancient Roman metal too?
You peaked my interest please go on
'Ex Deo is a Canadian death metal band formed in Montreal, Quebec in 2008. The band is a side project of Kataklysm frontman Maurizio Iacono, and is based on the history of the Roman Empire.'
I somehow switched to them while listening to Behemoth yesterday. Not exactly my flavour, but they weren't bad.
Hell yeah will check them out thank you

I want to say Clown Core but the insane talent is obvious almost immediately. you might click on it ironically but you'll never listen that way twice.
I guess Baby Metal fits the bill better.
I'm listening to "Hell" and I must admit I am not only impressed but also deeply afraid. I will never listen to this again. Thanks for sharing!
Never say never
Not necessarily a song but a whole sub-genre: Eurobeat. It started with Running in the 90s and I just went from there to listening and thoroughly enjoying pretty much the whole Initial D soundtrack.
I watched Initial D first, then started listened to Running in the 90s, and now I can't escape eurobeat
I'm ashamed to say I've never watched Initial D. But it's on my watchlist.
I will still champion “That’s Not My Name” by Ting Tings. It’s a well-crafted pop song that most people miss the “subtlety” (for lack of a better word) of the message. It’s about a woman wanting to be social, but hating all of the poor flirtation in the pick-up scene.
And I never knew it until I had it on an exercise mix and was able to hyper focus on it while trying to zone out in my cadence run. It usually just glossed by as a chippy beat.
Who listens to music ironically?
Ever heard of a meme?
Jinjer - Pisces
Although it's not a comedic song in itself, when the chorus kicks in, the cognitive dissonance of that mismatching voice is funny. But then after 5 listens you are just impressed because it sounds good. And that made me unironically listen to it more and I put it in my playlist, recognizing the depth of the lyrics and that unique feeling of the song.
That's btw 1 of 2 songs from jinjer that are considered outliers and those are the only two that I like by jinjer which is very weird.
It's not quite what you're asking, but I have had my perspective on a lot of songs changed once I actually looked up their lyrics.
My listening comprehension for music lyrics is piss poor. For any given pop or rock song I'd hear on the radio, maybe 70% of the time I find lyrics unintelligible. Clearly it's skill issue on my part, as the body of music listeners at large seem to have no problems understanding what they're hearing. I don't know how people do it.
Sometimes I'll catch enough words to throw into a search engine and get the song's title and lyrics, and maybe even a short blurb of context. That knowledge alone can make a song go from irritating noise to something I find rather pleasant.
I believe the most recent song I looked up and learned something about was Even Flow by Pearl Jam. It's a song about homelessness. Who knew? Fucking everyone, probably! But not me. For fifteen years all I heard was "FREEEEE-ZIIIIIN'..." and the rest just goes to mush. I also learned Even Flow is a completely different song from Plush by Stone Temple Pilots. The damn radio kept bamboozling me with that similar vocal progression they both have!
Ah well. Better on the bus fifteen years late than never on the bus at all. They say ignorance is bliss, but it's also the source of a lot of undue hatred. I find I hate far fewer songs when I actually understand what they're trying to say (if anything).
Of course, knowing doesn't magically fix all stinkers. I Love It by Icona Pop didn't get any better in my eyes when I found the lyrics for it. I find most pop country songs (which I am unavoidably subject to, living in the American midwest) don't have much novel or interesting to say, either. The closer I look, the more accurate Bo Burnham's Pandering becomes, and I hate it.
I guess the silver lining here is I get to lucky 10,000 my way through many of history's greatest hits. I'm sure many people would give a lot to experience something they like again for the first time. By virtue of my being absurdly late to the party, I get to do it every day.
I'm the same way, most song lyricsare incomprehensible gibberish. So you'll probably recognize this catchy line: "wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night"
Started listening to Buddy Holly by Weezer ironically for the meme edits some months ago, now Weezer is my favourite band.
Return of the Mac by Mark Morrison
Christmas Pain in Christmas Town by Chowder Man.
If you haven’t played Hypnospace Outlaw yet, I highly recommend it.
I'm more of a Granny Cream guy myself.
Never gonna give you up is a great song actually
The theme song from Enterprise (“Where my heart will take me” by Russel Watson). So many Trekkies seem to hate this song but I genuinely love it. I normally skip through the intro songs to most Trek shows but this one I sit through every time (and I have the song in a number of my playlists).
Also Blood and Glitter by Lord of the Lost. Every year I listen to a playlist of Eurovision songs for fun. LOTL have stuck with me (and I’m going to see them live soon!!)
This might be a cop-out, but when I first heard We've Got The Moves, I went into it listening ironically. Was converted before the end of the song, though.
"Listening to a song ironically"? Who is doing that? And why?
People who like to poke fun at things. To make fun of: the music video, the music, the lyrics, how overplayed it is, the fans, the band, etc. Especially when a song bubbles up in the zeitgeist either from lots of radio play or by featuring in some clade of meme.
I remember playing it as a joke to my friends as this "weird video with young Kim Jong Un". Ended up being one of my most favorite songs ever
That's a certified bop. I'm saving it to my playlists now.
Do you remember how you found the song? And do you have any clue what it means?
Do you remember how you found the song?
I do actually :) I saw it featured in a video, something like "metal band reacts to modern music" and I think the metal band was Gloryhammer
Edit: Found it, it wasn't Gloryhammer

And do you have any clue what it means?
That I don't know for sure, the beginning sounds like it's about falling in love but what the refrain means I have no idea
I have none that I listened to ironically, I think that's a next generation thing.. but I have plenty that were unavoidably on the radio that I can listen to now with warm nostalgia at the distinct lack of twerking, large asses, and shallow(er) lyrics.
FCK 2020, Scooter
Nothing better than this song to get you motivated
Because of Fallout New Vegas I got into songs about that like "Blue shadows on the trail" by Roy Rogers and that's like era of cowboy music that fits the theme if that aesthetic, even have a playlist for it, when I Play DayZ
I grew up on hip-hop never thought I'd be hearing this
Probably Agenda Suicide by The Faint, because the music belies the dark hopelessness of people working office jobs hoping to achieve the American dream
