Bug type combinations

Examples of type combination songs with bug as their primary type


Bug fire

Strangely, for most of the primary bug types, I have just one example. Which I find very lucky.

Fearless (VNV Nation).

Bug dark

I have a couple of these. I like this combination, but it can be a bit of a negative earworm...

One More Minute ('Weird Al' Yankovic).

Lonesome Town (The Cramps).

Bug fighting

This can be offensive. Just one example so far:-

Boom Boom Boom (Outhere Brothers).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqHQ_wWbG9Y


Bug earth

Quite a good combination.

The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (Lemon Demon).

Chick Habit / Laisse Tomber Les Filles (April March).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiMgtTqKNTc

Take a Trip (Shakin' Pyramids).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EokcMXC-of0


Bug electric

This is quite good and unique, but there is one example at the moment and it's not on mobiles.

Dislocation (Ultravox / John Foxx).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCr5yvuGwOk


Bug ceramic

Just one famous example of this too:-

Trololo (Eduard Khil).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oavMtUWDBTM


Bug oil

I expected this to be a thing, but apparently it isn't. This one seems close enough:-

The Secret Side of Aether Paradise (TPCi).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrUBteNI4hQ


Bug (pure)

As you can imagine, this is very rare because it's such an usual and specific topic for music, but here is the example I have:-

Earwigs in my Brain (The Meteors).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0owEXccBwUY


Bug grass

Another one I expected there to be more of. These were recently moved to it:-

Mushroom Hill Zone (from 'Sonic 3').
Act 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF99oeiaznk

Act 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onjYGtkAWx4


Bug poly

Very specialised, so much that it's surprising that this exists.

Solar Ignite (Jerry Berlongieri).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtBejw8ZkAY

Bug rock

Contains some old types of punk songs and some psychobilly-like songs if they're not really about psychos (because then they go to 'bug psychic').

Cramp Stomp (The Cramps).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2kKsPIMUYU

Rawhide (The Meteors).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okyLSzcLzVY

Domino (The Cramps).
Crap version for mobiles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBrA3NMVpW4
Not crap version for non-mobiles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKJ-apLC-cQ


Bug glass

I thought this would be quite rare but there are some here.

Shake Your Body (Shy FX & T-Power).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89WyX7RRcAo

Guzma Encounter (TPCi).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJEAeZmOqjM

Guzma Battle (TPCi).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REC7daXbjho


Bug ice

The start of this displayed song was used to represent an error sound in a 'Red Alert' desktop theme. So perhaps this combination is an error.

2nd Hand (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grz74YlKx7k


Bug steel

Probably these:-

Nod Crush (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_1bKBitnKg

Team Skull Battle (TPCi).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hx8H54VgTk

Team Skull Encounter (TPCi).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL3z32ZCySA


Bug air

This combination works together extremely well, and in a more serious way than most bug types, but there aren't many examples.

Beloved (VNV Nation).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfc3zcnrWMQ

White China (Ultravox).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMpe-TWbN1A

In the Sky (TPCi).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU6g0VSAoro


Bug space

This has been done, but you can only find them if you know where to look.

Teenagers from Outer Space (The Meteors).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3lNWMLq4OM

Attack of the Zorch Men (The Meteors).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtoA6yjtbcQ


Bug water

This combination is usually characterised by surf music, but contains a but more variety.

Misirlou (Dick Dale).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y3h9p_c5-M

Surf No Mercy (Frank Klepacki).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WideTH9XxSs

Version 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49MGvCE5c8g
Version 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxMwAL9wp_A


Bug dragon

I thought this one suited this combination:-

Choreographite (343 Industries).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SH4fpBPKtY

Covenant Dance (Bungie).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fPFtDdqnJI


Bug ghost

A surprisingly awesome combination. Just one example I have here:-

Mr. X (Ultravox).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u6dtcjQSNI

Bug poison

These would be expected to work together quite well. The two songs here are quite different, showing some variety within this combination.

It Wasn't Me (Shaggy).
YouTube Link (not on mobiles): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g5Hz17C4is

The Crusher (The Cramps).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5gRD549UAo


Bug normal

Some of these are intentionally buggy and some are not...

Superstar (Jamelia).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzNZOiquGao

What's Inside a Girl? (The Cramps).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT4AysVkuRs

Eat It ('Weird Al' Yankovic).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJjMnHoIBI

I Can't Hardly Stand It (The Cramps).

YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm4eKJsMN2I

Bug fairy

I thought this would be one of the most awesome combinations, but I couldn't find any at first. Perhaps these will do:-

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (Keith Strachan).

YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6y20VCCal4

Who Wants to Be a Trillionaire? (Keith Strachan).

YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufz_2pFMY5Q

Who Wants to Be a Quintillionaire? (Keith Strachan).

YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvRN_GGWwsQ

Bug psychic

I didn't used to have any examples, so I moved some which used to be in 'bug rock' because they are about psychos (this combination may be offensive). This combination is often used for 'psychobilly' tracks.

Maniac (The Meteors).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BxragRRuxI

The Crazed (The Meteors).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6LWxQig5eM

Get Off My Cloud (The Meteors).

YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFrCtBpnqn0

Bug light

These are usually quite funny / comedy songs.

I Ran Over the Taco Bell Dog (Adam Sandler).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYwrN60WdRI

Livin' La Vida Yoda (Todd Downing).
YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDJULTiw34k
