NICE.
Must be tons of surf songs (and things from other subcultures that produce lots of bands) that do this. Pearl Jam cover some Nuggets-y song called "Gremmie Out Of Control," revolving around the term "gremmie," which I guess signifies an inept, wannabe surfer...

I am pretty sure that "Bitchin' Camaro" was done ironically with the same intent as this thread! - still counts
Seems like this is even worse when your band name is slang-derived, esp. when it is lame slang that never really caught on to begin with. Next thing you know, you're trying to release your very serious Buddhist-themed sixth album, titled The Earth, The Sun, The Rain, but your band is still named fucking Color Me Badd:

"What's the dillio?", which is my last name with one vowel changed, was a bit of a problem for me when I was substitute teaching in the early '90s.

i heard a middle aged white guy say "what's the dillio" recently and suddenly felt very nostalgic for the period when Busta Rhymes was hugely famous

"trap queen" is a phrase particular to that song and is treated more as a premise than a catchphrase, and "trap" has been peppered across platinum albums and hit songs consistently over the past decade with no signs of going away anytime soon, so poor example

this is THE “here comes the boom”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzlFEZir684

hard to dispute that, tbh. maybe if P.O.D. had recruited Sean Paul or Mr. Vegas, it'd be a fair fight, but DMX's commitment to the title is tough to overcome.

wow. in case of YouTube decay, that's MC Hammer's 2006 release, "Hyphy, Dumb, Buck, Krump," which is a pretty incredible title for this thread. the backing track is also very blatantly trying to get on the crunk bandwagon. great find.
― Doctor Casino, Sunday, 30 August 2020 18:15 (three years ago) link
he was always trying to jump on some bandwagon, but that seemed to be the closest he got to getting on one during its zeitgeist!
sorry for not labeling, thanks for jumping on that :)

New rosalia album is borrowing and popularizing “saoko” as a word at least in meme culture, as well as “motomami” which afaik is made up.
