Songs that sound exactly like their name

Rather than go in one of the two existing threads about bands I thought I’d put my entry for songs here.

The emo-pop song Chica Chica by Park sounds like it was Onomatopoetically named after the fast guitar crunches in the very beginning of the song.

I’m sure there are a whole many other songs whose name is very evocative of their sound.

“The Song that Goes Like This” from Spamalot

“Generic Upbeat Folk Song” by the Limelighters

Wonderful Pop Song– Sycophant

From 1962, Telstar by the Tornadoes.

Very Space Age.

Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay

Pata Pata

Iko Iko

Boom Boom, John Lee Hooker

This is the Song That Never Ends…

Wipeout!

*Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop *

MMMBop, by Hanson

Not sure if we’re after onomatopoeia or not. If not Motorhead by Motörhead sounds pretty much like you would expect from the name.

Irrelevant and distracting bollocks: (a) the band has an umlaut, but not the song, apparently; and (b) it has no effect on pronunciation, because it’s a Metal Umlaut; and (c) there’s a wiki page on Metal Umlaut (!)

Da Da Da.

De Doo Doo Doo, De Dah Dah Dah. The Police

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, Disney

If onomatopoeia is what we’re after, then the obvious answer is “Onomatopoeia” by Todd Rundgren.

Title of the Song by Da Vinci’s Notebook. You can’t get more literal than that.

Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmmm by the Crash Test Dummies.

“FX” by Black Sabbath is almost two minutes of, well, echo effects.

The there’s Feedback by the Grateful Dead, although that may not actually be the name of a song.

Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict by Pink Floyd sounds exactly as advertised

Popcorn, Gershon Kingsley
