* "Whispers of Your Death" by Counterparts is a {{Metalcore}} song about...a cat. With that cat being the sole focus of the entire [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Mca6dUtxc music video]]. Hearing that description might make you snicker a bit. Until you actually listen to it...it's generally agreed to be one of the most emotional and gut wrenching songs in the entire genre, and to anyone who has ever seen a beloved pet suffer through illness and die, completely relatable. As for the video, knowing that that cat is now dead makes the song come across as an actually particularly heartwarming tribute rather than as cheesy.

* Perhaps the only reason people listen to The Automatic is for their hilarious hyperactive shrieking keyboardist Alex Pennie. Without him, [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HL2fq8hS0eE this song]] would just be another substandard "Gold Digger" cover, but thanks to Pennie, it becomes grade-A {{Narm}}. In fact, when Pennie left the band during the recording of their second album, they almost immediately became another generic alternative band and were quickly forgotten. Aside from their first single without him, "Steve [=McQueen=]", the band has yet to have another song reach the Top 40 in the UK

* The bulk of Music/LinkinPark's first two albums. Their lyrics showed as much [[{{Wangst}} maturity and depth]] as a twelve-year old's Website/LiveJournal, but damned if Chester's [[MetalScream screams]] and Shinoda's awesome rapping didn't have you singing along.

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8SdzwoIcwo Centipede]]'' by Rebbie Jackson (the relatively well-adjusted [[OlderThanTheyLook gracefully-aged]] [[CoolBigSis eldest sister]] of Music/MichaelJackson). It was her [[OneHitWonder only real hit]] and is certainly memorable, but [[{{Narm}} those lyrics]]... Fortunately, it was TheEighties, and Rebbie's voice [[NarmCharm could deliver anything]]. The funniest part is that Michael wrote and produced the song.

* ''The Music/LawrenceWelk Show'' was considered hopelessly kitschy and square ''even in TheFifties''. Nonetheless, it held solid ratings for 30-odd years and still plays in reruns today.

* {{Music/Blondie}}'s "Rapture" was one of the first successful attempts at bringing rap into mainstream culture. Yet the lyrics of said rap about "a man from Mars who's eatin' cars and eatin' bars" are goofy as hell. [[https://youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g The music video takes this]] up to eleven.
