Favourite Catchiest Best Most Perfect Pop Song?
« on: March 06, 2016, 04:07:42 PM »
"Tell It Like It T-I-Is" by The B-52s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkOfH8OzvpU
Don't want to spoil anything in case you are interested in listening for the first time, but there is a :metal :hefdaddy :heartgreat :heart :hefdaddy :metal vocal part somewhere in there.

What is yours?

i just can't think of a better pop song. it's weird but not toooo weird, it has unique instrumentation mixed with contemporary pop instrumentation that keeps it from getting dated, it has a fantastic chorus, and gaga was always a better singer than her peers to begin with.

I agree about everything you said. (Un)fortunately, I can't listen to pop music for too long so I never tried playing her whole album to find if she had other songs I liked.

i'm with you on that one Parama.  for modern pop anyway, it's pretty damn close to perfect.  the chorus is gorgeous, how it repeats the same lines with the just like a real slight semi-tone shift the second time around, its total 80s and lovely.

but I can't go past Tears for Fears, Everybody Wants to Rule the World or even Head Over Heels eats any pop, all the pop, ever made since.

i never listened to that whole album either, but I listened to ArtPop a few times and there are some great tracks on that.  she really knows how to write a great pop tune.

Rather Be by Clean Bandit. I normally despise pop music but the second I heard this song I loved it. There's just too much to say about this song to write it here so for anyone who has never heard it, I'll post the link.

So, I gave a listen to the ones all of you posted which I didn't know until now.

That was nice, but the one which has been stuck in my had recently is "Wildest dreams". It was playing at the supermarket the other day. I don't find the lyrics very good, but some of the melodies are really cool!

Holy crap, that song is 12 years old? I tought McFly was a much younger band.

That "Shut Up and Dance" has some big U2 vibes on it!
And "Uptown Funk" is catchy indeed! It plays all the time on a radio station I listen to everyday.

Nice listening to it once again! I'm curious - have you listened to Christina Perri? I find her voice really similar, although her music isn't as original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrNQGFYF1Ak is my favourite, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtOvBOTyX00 is also beautiful.

Bad Romance for sure, I think my jaw dropped the first time I heard that song, which I don't think has ever happened with another pop song.

Also, Shake It Off by Taylor Swift.  I'm not really a fan of hers in general, but talk about a catchy, upbeat, well-constructed song.

great tune, although I would lean towards Sabrina Paste and Plato as a favorite insanely catchy track from Jellyfish.

Crazy is great, but I definitely prefer Kiss From a Rose. That song gives me chills every time I hear it.

Call Me Maybe was the first one that came to mind. There's pop songs I like more, but if we're going just on catchyness, you can hear it once and you won't un-hear it.

I lean toward more brit/euro pop like Parklife by Blur, Lovefool by The Cardigans, She's Electric by Oasis, etc.

Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer.  That was a big change from their darker earlier stuff. 

Most of early Duran Duran, although some of their later stuff is uplifting as well.
