There is this song that has been bothering me for last few years (I keep hearing bits of it throughout the year, usually at a distance, so I can only hear its melody). It has this idiotic melody that keeps on repeating over and over; help me identify it so that I can curse the damned band/group that created this excessively annoying song.

It's a really famous song (>46 million views in those two videos I linked alone) so even I've heard of it

it's the right sample but not the song i've heard. the same sample (melody) is used albeit in a more repetitive, annoying way.

According to Wikipedia, Kids has been sampled in this song: + Show Spoiler +
and this song : + Show Spoiler +


Neither of the samples seem to use the melody in the way you describe though.

Maybe this one by mac miller? + Show Spoiler +


Daggs remix: + Show Spoiler +


Datsik remix: + Show Spoiler +


80kidz remix: + Show Spoiler +


Pet Shop Boys also did TWO remixes... >.<

It's also been covered by about 20 million other bands/artists.

you know, it might be the original song that i heard -- but having heard it from a distance distorted my perception of it. listening to it to at a higher volume makes it seem less annoying definitely.

I don't understand how people are able to write the melody ? I'm completely ignorant related to music, so I guess with enough "knowledge" you could theoretically write completely a song that you listened to? Or is it more an "estimation" of the song you heard?

Music is really a language, one that anybody can listen to. I guess you'd say the "alphabet" of Western music is the set of 12 semitones in an octave, and rhythms are the ways you connect the letters to make words. Once you study music a bit, it's easy to see how music is notated. As for completely writing a song, it's harder with the way modern songs have tons of synthesizing and other beats, but the main melody that is prominent in the song is usually easy to write. The melody OP wrote down isn't exactly the melody in "Kids" (the rhythm was a bit simplified), but it was close enough to be recognizable.

Yeah, again I only heard it in bits and from a distance and upon hearing it more directly, I realize that the transcription is not perfect.
