The most recent that I can think of have already been mentioned (“Sail” and Pumped Up Kicks") so I’ll offer one strictly for your amusement and ridicule… Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me”. That’s right, I said it. When it first came out however many years ago, it was playing when my clock radio went off and I sort of heard it through a sleepy haze. It stuck with me all day and I still enjoy it, now that it’s rarely played. ---

That would be “Kentucky Slop Song” from NRBQ’s first album… what a hoot! First heard it last week. ---

My last instant hit was [“Indestructible” by Disturbed.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWxBrI0g1kE&ob=av2e) Sure, me and every video game fan on Earth, but damn, that song makes you want to go out and commit some serious video game mayhem! ---

Cee Lo Green’s [‘Forget You’.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MRC8wNSpq4) Never would have thought it’d be my cup of tea, but I _love_ it. Loved it enough that I found another of his that just hit me as awesome right off… [Love Gun](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhNxdBG2p2g) Sounds like a James Bond song, lol! ---

“All Will Be Well” by The Gabe Dixon Band - they played it at the end of an episode of Parks & Recreation a few weeks ago, and i immediately fell in love. Had to figure out who it was with Shazam, downloaded the album from Amazon, and then heard “Five More Hours”, which I adored even more, surprisingly. Both songs brought tears to my eyes immediately, but in a good way. ---

Just heard “[Everything is One Big Christmas Tree](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R9QTv6rngc&feature=related)” by the Magnetic Fields on the way home from shopping, and thought of this thread. Don’t know why I haven’t heard it before. ---

> [@\_mostly\_Harmless](#): > > I was just listening to that an hour ago. Such a great song. > > Mine is Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show. I loved it before the lyrics even started and when they did the question became when, not if, I would download the song. Man! One of my favorites, too. I messaged my ex and asked if he remembered when he & I and my bro went into the “hootchy-cootchy” show—he did. ---

I had just downloaded a song off iTunes yesterday when I noticed that one of the songs that it recommended I might also like was “Some Jingle Jangle Morning” by Mary Lou Lord. I had vaguely heard of the artist before, but never made a point of investigating her, so I figured I would hit the preview button. It didn’t take me too long to decide what my next purchase would be. Truly a delightful little slice of punk-pop. ---
