To say it left an imprint on the hearts and minds of Gen X and elder Millennials is something of an understatement.

It plays the weirdest (and often most grating) novelty songs of all time on a loop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The creators of VTV are the folks at <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/vole.wtf\/blah\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Vole.wtf;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Vole.wtf<\/a>. Operating since 2002, the owners describe it as \u201ca weird, random nonsense site.\u201d Which we\u2019d say is fair. It certainly recalls the Wild, Wild West days of the early internet. Everything about this website recreates that bygone era. It emulates those online golden years before anyone monetized the internet. The VTV player pulls random songs from\u00a0YouTube\u00a0to provide a unique musical experience for every viewer. Luckily, one can find even the most obscure novelty song from yesteryear on YouTube these days.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><em>Vole<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Novelty hit songs are largely a thing of the past these days. But once upon a time, someone could get a hit song based entirely on humor, or a gimmick. This isn\u2019t quite the same as a parody of an existing hit song, like the entire catalog of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nerdist.com\/article\/weird-al-yankovic-interview-about-making-of-weird-celebrity-cameos-possible-sequel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Weird Al Yankovic;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Weird Al Yankovic<\/a>. Although we suppose they count too. Examples of novelty songs penetrating the mainstream include \u201cThe Purple People Eater\u201d in the \u201960s, or \u201cPac-Man Fever\u201d in the \u201980s. Some of these are actually well-crafted and fun, but a lot are just extremely annoying. So head over to VTV to see how much you can handle, and for how long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the \u201980s and \u201990s, nothing was a bigger cultural tastemaker than MTV.
