Greensleeves is almost 500 years old. I'm sure there were other very popular songs when it came out, but Greensleeves had to staying power to still be here. What do you think is today's Greensleeves?

Not just a song that can be found in the archives, but one that almost everyone can hum, even today.

(Somebody asked what was meant by “today’s…” Throw whatever you want out, somebody tossed out “Love me tender” as being a tune from in the 1860s.)

Creep by Radiohead, imagine how much that would annoy Thom Yorke.

Venator ,

Probably helps to be featured or mentioned in other notable media, as greensleaves is mentioned in Shakespeare, and creep is part of the fight club soundtrack, so it has that going for it I guess 😅

In the U.S., “Neck” by Cameo has become a college marching band standard. I wonder if that will help. Not that it would come from U.S. college sports but maybe a song like “Sweet Caroline” or “Seven Nation Army” that’s played at professional sporting events in multiple countries.

I don’t know what it is but I hear it at sports stadiums. Duh duh duh duh- duh duh duh-duh It repeats

Edit: I’ve just found out it’s called papas got a brand new pigbag.

I know it’s not the song that you’re saying but I read that in Suzanne Vega - Tom’s diner tone

lolcatnip ,

There’s a surprisingly good cover of it by Britney Spears.

PeterLossGeorgeWall ,

There is a better cover by AnnenMayKantereit, imo.

Oh this is easy, but you may not thank me for it. Hum, whistle or sing, anyone near you will do the same after a minute or so. It’s timeless and it even has it’s own website

I give you Lipps Inc. - Funky Town

Something from Michael Jackson maybe. I heard you can go somewhere where there is no civilization and they’ll still know him.

The nes super Mario bros overworld theme comes to mind. People who have never played a Mario game in their lives know that tune.

Based on what I hear playing, my money is on Mr. Brightside.

Gershwin’s Summertime is my real answer. It has been covered by so many artists already, it might keep going.

lol! I jokingly thought of that song when I clicked in here. Definitely the most catchy thing around rn.

Tikiporch ,

You won’t like the answer, but I’ll tell you anyway.

It’s The Macarena, by Los Del Rio.

pyre ,

i don’t think so considering your the first and the only one who has even mentioned the song in the last 65 years.

Tikiporch ,

Unfortunately, that’s entirely untrue. I don’t think you’ve put any effort into this exercise at all.

Not sure about today’s, but I think the one from the 18th century is Ah! vous dirai-je, maman, better known in English as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or the alphabet song.

Zeratul ,

I never knew twinkle twinkle little star and the alphabet song were put to the same melody. Thank you!
