#REDIRECT [[Occe_Is_God]]
* '''The [[Dew]] Army''' - combining an image with a song where the lyrics are taken out of context, are misheard, or are taken literally. Whenever anyone makes a site that fits this description, comments on the site will almost always include "Dew Army FTW", in reference to a site called "DEW" which was among the first of this nature, using the song "Du" by David Hasselhoff. See [[Dew Army contest]].
+
 
+
* '''"Everyone has AIDS" from the film ''Team America: World Police'''''
+
 
+
* '''"Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora''' is frequently used to symbolize male homosexuality. It's also used in a fad involving printed, written-word "recreations" of other fads.  This is the main song choice for the [[Gay Fuel]] fad (listed under [[Other Fads]]).  Though there have been some suggestions for different music (like "Menergy"), these suggestions never really picked up.
+
 
+
* '''Banana Phone''' by Raffi, one of the original ytmnd fads. Its popularity originated from the online flash.
+
 
+
* '''Various emo songs''' are used to parody Emo's target audience. The most popular song for this is Simple Plan's ''Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me)''.
+
** Previously, the main choice was Linkin Park's "Crawling", mainly used in sites depicting angst.
+
** Notably, the overuse of the Simple Plan song has become severely irritating to most.
+
 
+
* '''"United States of Whatever" by Liam Lynch'''. The word "Whatever" and sometimes, phrases from the song, are replaced by sound clips, sometimes from other fads.
+
 
+
* '''"[[Ding Dong Song]]"''' by Günther, sometimes used in sexually implicit sites as well as parodies of the original disc cover by Günther.
+
 
+
* '''Famous songs being played in reverse''' to show hidden messages, often showing that the singer is a "Nazi". Some of them are fake with a voice mixed in.
+
 
+

+
** '''"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by [[Daft Punk]]''', usually accompanied with the title "[[Ninja works it|____ Works It]]". Made popular by a flash video [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/workit.html] featuring the video game character Kunio.

** '''"Die motherfucker, die motherfucker still fool"'''. Lyrics from the song "Still" by Geto Boys, used for "hardcore" dancing.  Also may be used for people getting beaten up.
+
** '''O-Zone's song "Dragostea Din Tei"''', commonly called "[[Numa Numa]]" after the Internet phenomenon of the same name with Gary Brolsma lip-synching the words, usually accompanies people dancing by swaying their heads in a manner similar to Brolsma.
+
** '''"[[Moskau]]" by Dschinghis Khan''', usually accompanied by synchronized dancing as seen in the original video.
+
** '''Bebubebududeh''', a nonsensical line from the song "Party Like it's 1904" by Rex Navarette, set to people dancing in a "retarded" way.  Some consider this to be an alternate of the [[ualuealuealeuale]] fad.
+
** '''[[Get Crunk]]''', by Lil John, often showing people rocking back and forth OR drinking some alcoholic beverages.
+
** '''Don't hold back''', from the song "Galvanize" by the Chemical Brothers and Q-Tip.  Sites normally have one person saying "Don't hold back" followed by another saying "K, lol" and starting a break dance, usually synced to the song.  Sometimes, the dancer may say "You got served" at the end.
+
** '''Zazazazazaza''', an excerpt from the song "Control Myself" by LL Cool J, often accompanying people dancing or pictures of bees.  The excerpt originated from a dew army site called "My Chainsaw", that won one of the top prizes in a recent Dew Army contest.  The site described the sound a chainsaw would make.  The followup featured Zack Taylor from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers performing his popular dance inside the Hatch from the popular ABC TV show LOST.
+
 
+
* '''''Space Jam'' by Quad City DJs''' (from the ''Space Jam'' soundtrack) referred to as "Super Slam" and associated with Randy Savage.

+
 
+
* '''Parodies and recreations of the music video for "Take on Me"''' by A-ha. Usually done in the same style of animation as the music video. This might have been made popular by a similar sequence involving Chris in the ''Family Guy'' episode "Breaking Out is Hard to Do".
+
 
+
* '''[[Interpretation|Songs "interpreted" phonetically to English]].''' The fad first involved the Finnish version of the theme song from ''DuckTales''. Some of the misinterpreted lines from the Finnish ''DuckTales'' version were used for many sites ("Your arms are broken" and "[[Taco Nazi]]" are the best examples of it). Other popular songs misinterpreted include "[[Heute Ist Mein Tag]]" by Blümchen, "[[Call on Me]]" by Eric Prydz, the German version of the ending to ''Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' ("[[Do the Mario]]"), the classical "O Fortuna", the Swedish and Dutch versions of the ''DuckTales'' theme, and the Finnish version of the Pokémon rap.
+
** One popular mis-interpretation involves a song by Sacred Spirits called "Wishes Of Happiness & Prosperity", where Kirk Douglass's line is mis-interpreted as "I want Sundaes".
+
 
+
* Two songs involving '''spinning''':
+
** '''"[[Ridin' Spinnaz]]" by Three 6 Mafia''', original use was a GIF of male to shemale anal sex ([[Spin.gif]]), where the receiver's penis was spinning clockwise. It is now used in animations involving someone randomly spinning around something, with zoomed text reading "also" and the name of what the person is spinning around.

+
 
+
* '''"The Vengabus (We Like to Party)" by the Vengaboys"''' is often used in YTMNDs about racism.
+
:: The advertising mascot for the Six Flags theme parks (Mr. Six) looked similar to Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-year-old man that was charged with killing three civil rights workers in the 1960s while he was in the Ku Klux Klan. Six Flags then threatened to sue anyone that made the comparison on YTMND. The site was taken down, but the song is used on YTMNDs that declare something or someone to be racist. The original website created by "Radio-F-Software" was relisted, but as an ad for their site. Most recently, the song has been used to represent [[Put Shoe on Head|Shoe on Head]] related YTMNDs.
+
 
+
* '''"Drop It Like It's Hot" by Snoop Dogg'''. An acapella version is combined with other songs with similar syncopations.

+
* '''"Great Moments in History."''' Pictures of plane, train, automobile and boat crashes are set to a clip of "Feel Good, Inc." by the Gorillaz — in particular, the line, "watch the way I navigate—ha ha ha ha ha!" The title of said YTMND's were likely a take-off from a nationally syndicated radio talk show, "The Bob and Tom Show", where they have had numerous segments with titles such as "Great Moments in Presidential History" or "Great Moments in Olympic History".

::Sometimes, the song "'Ya Get Skeeted On" by Dark Heartz will be used instead.
+
 
+

+
 
+
* '''The Real...''' where the "real" version of a song replaces that traditionally used by YTMND creators. Originally started when, in response to the "OMG Secret Communist...!" PTKFGS fad (which had been using the English lyrics for the t. A.T.u. song "All the Things She Said"), someone posted the original PTKFGS with the Russian lyrical version. Others include the "real" version of the "Batman [[uelelalelale]]" song, and other non-music related fads.
+
 
+
* '''Smack my Bitch up''', the song by Prodigy, accompanied by people smacking other people in the face either once or consistantly.  The most infamous image associated with the song is a gif of two Pikachus from Pokemon smacking each other.
+
 
+
* '''Ghost Love Score''', by the rock group Nightwish.  An excerpt from the song is often used to make things more "epic" than they really are.  The excerpt first camed from an attempted forum fad called "Tennis Man", but was then used for various other sites including the recent "Epic Geordi Manuevers".
