Lady Gaga – ‘Poker Face’
Lady Gaga had already been a worldwide phenomenon by the time ‘Poker Face’ was released as a single in 2008. With her first single, ‘Just Dance,’ Gaga became an overnight hit, and while ‘Just Dance’ was a catchy song in and of itself, it was ‘Poker Face,’ with its more aggressive and booming beat,’ that truly propelled the young singer to new heights. The phrases “P-p-p-poker face / P-p-p poker face” were ingrained in popular culture, making it tough to forget.

Chumbawamba – ‘Tubthumping’
Chumbawamba’s 1997 pop rock anthem became not just one of the most memorable one-hit wonders, but also one of the most unforgettable tunes that got stuck in our brains. The band’s unmistakable shouts of “I get knocked down / But I rise up again / You’re never going to keep me down” are indisputable. The song’s melody and lyrics are well-known, but the title “tubthumping” (jumping on the bandwagon of a populist concept, usually by a politician) is less well-known.
