TaoPhoenix:
Okay, since the humor thread came back, I'll resurrect an old question and try my hand at an answer.
BTW - What is it with Hindi pop that makes it so damn catchy?

Here is your reference link to a typical Indian meme song. Tunak Tunak Tun. (Not a joke link.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bAN7Ts0xBo
Here we go:
Have you noticed, are you asking why, Indian songs are, stuck in your head, Todayyyyyyyyyy?
I may know why, I can try to say, it's in several things, about the soooooooooong.
Words per minute, more than twenty in 5 seconds, all American songs average about niiiiiiiiine.
Quad-repeated phrases, Grouped in pairs, Merged into Triples, Bound with String!

@TaoPhoenix: So that's the reason!
All aspects of good poetry, I guess.
IainB:
Speaking of good poetry, good graffiti is arguably just a form of poetry.
For example:
Spotted years ago, scrawled on a wall in the Euston Underground:
Hanratty was
innassent (crossed out)
inorssent (crossed out)
anascent (crossed out)
guilty.

A friend sent me this today:
10 years ago Bob Hope died. 5 years ago Johnny Cash died. A couple of months ago Steve Jobs died. A few weeks ago Jimmy Saville died. Now we have no Hope, no Cash, no Jobs and nobody left to Fix It
Let's hope nothing happens to Ed Balls!

(It makes sense in the context of British humour.)
tomos:
^ this might help -
Jimmy Savile had a show called Jim'll Fix It where he "fixed" things for people (not sure if that term used in American English - so translation from the wiki page: "Sir James will bring his influence to bear in arranging matters to your satisfaction.")
