Ever hear a piece of music you can't classify? Like this. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=DBbVGcvEfsw&feature=related) What is it? Rap? Reggae? Waaagggh! (>>)

Anyways, I'm also wondering about this song. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=vjvVBCNcL_A)

Loituma is performing Leva's Polka. That version is, as such, an adapted polka.
Here's the original. (http://www.hersenscheet.com/loi/polka.mp3)

Well, I know about the song, and the abomination that Family Channel made. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=4IDITMOfwO8) However, I'm just wondering what you classify it as.

Well, suprisingly, wikipedia has an article on Cobrastyle.

Nope...well sometimes but I classify most modern music the same way J. Jonah Jameson classifies pictures.

Crap, Crap, Mega Crap.

Only like every single time I fire up my Winamp.Yeah, same here. I've got a lot of Primus and They Might Be Giants and Mr. Bungle and Tub Ring and Frank Zappa and Mindless Self Indulgence and Soul Coughing and The Dead Milkmen and the like. They either blend together a diverse range of genres (like Soul Coughing), switch genres mid-song (like Mr. Bungle), or are essentially thier own goddamned genre (Primus).

Not even essentially. "Primus" is officially a musical genre according to Musicmatch.

Not even essentially. "Primus" is officially a musical genre according to Musicmatch.Yeah, but other sources list them as a few different genres (such as Heavy metal, Alternative rock, Funk metal, Alternative metal on wikipedia), so there's still some debate. Not that it really matters. We all know the truth.
