Banging tunes 

A song that is loved by many on a huge scale. For example most of the music from 1999-2009 is classed in this category. The song 'where is the love' by the black eyed peas would be classed as a banging tune (TBH all black eyed peas songs are banging tunes.) but some songs are good just not quite to the level of banging that we might hope. Today's music will never amount to that of the past. It was a sad day for me when I spoke to a child who knew who iggy azalea was but had never heard of s club 7. What is the world coming to?

Hips don't lie-Shakira
Stacy's Mom-Fountains of Wayne

Neil banging out the tunes

‘Neil banging out the tunes’ refers to an image of a bald-looking rat in front of a toy keyboard captioned ‘Neil banging out the tunes April 13th, 2006’. It has become particularly popular in the Lemon Demon fandom, as Neil Cicierega shares a name with this meme.

Bangin Tunes 

A term used in the UK, commonly by people who lived through the 90's/00's and current 18-25 year olds. Most of the tunes are UK Garage, House and D&B tunes from the 90's, early-mid 00's (Bassline) and sometimes the less popular artists who still produce Bassline, House and UK Garage.
Dean: Dave mate, do you remember the bangin tunes we use to blast out of my old Fiesta back in the day?
Dave: I remember the days where we'd blast bangin tunes from artists like MJ Cole n stuff.

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."
