I like The Man Behind The Slaughter by The Living Tombstone. I don’t tend to enjoy fan-made music, but this one was too groovy to pass up.
Rasputin by Boney M
That shit slaps
Edit: Seagulls! Stop It Now by Bad Lip Reading
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
Just a heads up, the word you’re looking for is piqued.
Ah, my bad. Thanks for the correction
I honestly can’t remember any band or song names, I just know it’s fun as to listen to after a few drinks.

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
My roommate showed me and said the same thing. Then I showed my boss and he started listening to it unironically.
I do still go and listen to some of them sometimes, myself.
This sounds like the soundtrack to an action-cyberpunk reinterpretation of Ed Edd n Eddy that still maintains the slapstick element
My music instructor suggested them for me to listen once. I could tell by his tone, that this suggestion was ironic at least on some level (he was only half-expecting me to like it), but after I gave it a listen and we started discussing it, it became obvious that both of us like this music pretty intensely and unironically.
I personally view Clown Core as a conceptual musical comedy. They utilize the clown aesthetic as a framing context, in which they use MAD SKILLS to inspect and subvert all expectations about music structure, direction, tone and sound.

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.
BxMxC by baby metal. That shit goes hard.
When I first saw Gimme Chocolate as a share on Facebook, I thought BabyMetal were a one hit wonder meme band. Cool and fun but not a “real” band, I didn’t think anymore about it.
A few years later I heard they were releasing a second album and I was like “these guys are actually serious?!”. I checked out more of their stuff and got hooked.
At that time in my life I had been listening to metal for well over a decade and was wondering if I was actually getting bored of it. BabyMetal were a huge breath of fresh air to the scene.
I got really stuck on Kingslayer
“True Survivor” by David Hasselhoff from Kung Fury.

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.
1996-1997, Watched a VHS tape of a Chick Corea concert from the 80s. Cheesy as fuck jazz on stage. Laughing at the bad hair, and dated styling.
Suddenly I’m into jazz and listening to all sorts. Opened me up to some great musicians and great songs.
To be fair, Chick Corea bumps insidiously. Brb, gonna put on Romantic Warrior
Legit, I’ve always been neutral to not a fan of jazz. But here lately, jazz bass has made that change. Ran into some Peewee Hill stuff, then saw some videos of him and Abraham Laboriel along with some other players. There’s just something about the bass being so central that made the switch in my head flip to the on position and make me hear jazz in a new way
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.
