It’s not news to say that iCarly is a pretty big hit. It began in 2007, and has already been a very popular success in the U.S., along with the U.K. and Australia, in just these few short years. The main characters are icons in pop culture, and it’s rather difficult for any of them to travel anywhere without being recognized. The themes of the show, which take teen culture and new technologies together, seems appropriate for generating a lot of interesting collaborations. Some of the most interesting web celebrities, like Fred, have appeared on the show, and there are also a number of pretty catchy songs that make it on.
Some of these are only there very briefly, but are recognizable as popular songs, or at least they’re extremely catchy. Lots of people wonder, for example, about the song in the background during the trampoline clip. The song is Secret Servants, by a band from Coldwater Canyon, California named the Service Group. They play very catchy fast rock songs, along the same lines as 80s bands like the Romantics, or their contemporaries, Green Day. The band has three members, which seems par for the course for a contemporary fast pop rock band, and it’s enough to generate a solid sound with a very catchy energy.
It’s catchy enough to have lots of iCarly fans wondering who made the music. The episode, by the way, is from season two, called iOwe You. You can hear the song toward the end of the episode, when Sam is talking about having bought them all something they could use. The song starts in the background as the scene shifts to the interior of Carly’s apartment, where they’re all jumping on a big trampoline, where the couch used to be.
