LOLraps: 10 Internet Memes That Became Songs
You better hide ya kids, hide ya wife, and hide ya husband (II), because "Bed Intruder Song" is currently #25 on the iTunes Charts. What's the "Bed Intruder Song"? Well, in case you missed it, a local news report popped up on the Internet not too long ago and became an instant viral classic thanks to a flamboyant interview given by a man named Antoine Dodson. As if that video wasn't hilarious enough, someone took Dodson's interview and flipped it into a shockingly hot (and still funny) song. But this isn't a new phenomenon. People have been turning Internet memes into songs for a few years now. It's simple: Just take a meme ("We'll do it live!" or "It's fun to do hoodrat stuff," e.g.), add a beat, and remix the vocals, giving us a chance to laugh at those videos all over again. Inspired by "Bed Intruder Song" we're taking a look at our 10 Favorite Internet Memes Turned Songs. Ladies and gentlemen...THIS. IS. THE. REEEEEEEEEMIX!
#10. "Soulja Girl Remix Crank Dat Marta Train" (2008)
Original video: "ATL Hoodrat aka Soulja Girl goes crazy on the Marta!"
Complex says: We're still waiting on a full remix to "Epic Beard Man" ("Bring the amber lamps!") so this will have to do for now. Besides, the original version of this was born to be turned into a song. Especially considering Soulja Girl sounds kinda like Mystikal in the late-
#9. "All Your Snakes Are Belong To Us" (2006)
Original video: "All Your Base Are Belong To Us"
Complex says: This video remixed "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" because the Internet was dying for the release of Snakes On A Plane. If only Samuel L. Jackson had starred in this video and not that awful movie. Oh, the tragedy!
#8. "Deed It" (2008)
Original video: "Iron Mic: Eli Porter vs. Envy"
Complex says: To be perfectly honest, we were mostly disappointed by the Eli Porter remixes. He's so viral worthy, and rap ready, that an Eli Porter remix should be at the top of this list. Thankfully we found a good one, although we were expecting great. Someone get Lex Luger on the beat and Diddy on the phone, maaaine.
#7. "Leeroy Jenkins Remix" (2005)
Original video: "Leeroy Jenkins"
Complex says: An OG of sorts, this is the first video of its kind to really pop off and become well-known. Well, on the Internet, anyway.
#6. "I Like Turtles Techno Remix" (2008)
Original video: "Zombie Kid Likes Turtles"
Complex says: There is actually another "I Like Turtles Remix" that's more popular than this one, but we like this version way better. Because we like techno. mmp-TSS, mmp-TSS, mmp-TSS! *beats up beat*
#5. Leprechaun Gimme Da Gold Rap (2006)
Original video:
Leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama
Complex says: The good folks over at Mobile, Alabama might find some gold after all. Because this is a gold record if we ever heard one!
#4. "Bed Intruder Song" (2010)
Original video: "Woman wakes up to find intruder in her bed"
Complex says: The makers of this video are actually the same guys who brought us the original "Auto-Tune The News" (In fact, this is just another "Auto-Tune The News" video), but this song blows the other ones away. Mainly because it has a real rhythm and song structure to it. We told ya Auto-Tune ain't dead!
#3. "Bill O'Reilly Flips Out Dance Remix" (2008)
Original video: "Bill O'Reilly Flips Out "
Complex says: Be honest: If you went to a rave, took a bunch of X, and the DJ put this on, would you even notice that this isn't a real song? Or would you just headbutt the guy next to you because the FUCKIN' THING SUCKS! We're betting on the latter.
#1. "Latarian Milton Hoodrat Remix" (2008)
Original video: "7-Year-Old Takes Car On Joyride"
Complex says: We already named the original version of this video the Best Internet Video of The 2000s, so it's a no-brainer for us to crown it the best remix as well. What can we say? It's just fun to do hoodrat remixes with your friends.
