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.)
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.
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!
