I'm pretty sure @matthew wrote every song except the theme. Hopefully he will be flattered by the comparison. Some artists get pissy when compared to other artists.
SSteve has it right: The site theme "They Could Try Harder" is by They Might Be Giants. Almost all the rest of the noises that show up on the site are by our in-house music team.
The exceptions are mostly obvious, like the backing tracks for Mad Ape Den Karaoke. But we've also used a handful of licensed clips. The music that runs behind "Drinking Terrible" videos is one example. (If our in-house music team could play that style, our in-house music team would probably be a gypsy jazz combo full-time instead.)
can neither confirm nor deny that we are keeping John and John locked in an office closet

@matthew I hope you weren't insulted by the question. I'm super impressed that your team can turn out such good, catchy music on such a regular basis.
@christinerenee not even a tiny bit. Thanks!
