I used two songs, All Star by Smash Mouth and Thriller by Michael Jackson

Thriller is part of Michael Jackson's album of the same name. As the highest selling album ever, the album cements Michael Jackson's career as well as his influence on pop culture.

All Star by Smash Mouth was featured heavily in the movie Shrek. Due to the intense ironic fandom behind the movie, All Star has become part of the inside joke of the Shrek memes.

I picked All Star due to its viral nature. Its a song that is part of internet fandom and viral culture. Its an easy song to remix and share, and it has definitely been remixed many times before. I picked Thriller, not due to its viral nature, but because its a song that has a huge basis in mainstream pop culture.
