The Worst Songs Ever

Push the little daisies – Ween: cringe worthy singing, stupid lyrics and annoying music. This song is so bad that it causes illness.

Vanilla Ice
Too cold

Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice: This song is so bad that it’s one of the most popular and recognisable songs ever. Somehow this song has reached the point of being so incredibly bad, that people like it…strange.









Teenage Dirtbag – Wheatus: Apparently Wheatus are fans of Iron Maiden. If Iron Maiden ever spotted Wheatus’ whiny, little worm of a lead singer at a gig, they would probably walk off in disgust.

Right Said Fred – I’m too sexy : No your not, you’re a one hit wonder with a song that makes you UNsexy.

Sandi Thom
Boooooo!!

I Wish I was a Punk Rocker (with flowers in my hair) – Sandi Thom: A protest song that doesn’t really protest anything…maybe the lack of time travel technology. A bad song which tries to be meaningful, but ends up being plainly annoying.











Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus: Mullet-heads rejoiced and music-lovers wept with the release of this song. Line dancing and country music are not cool, and this song sucks.


All for Love – Bryan Adams, Sting and Rod Stewart: Hammy, cheesy and crap all at the same time. Sting should know better than to hang out with those chumps.

Rush – Big Audio Dynamite: Retarded singing and weird noises. This song sounds like it was made by a demented nerd in a basement somewhere in the suburbs.

Baha Men
Who let the crap songs out?

Who let the dogs out? – Baha Men: Possibly the most annoying song ever made. Still heard in movies and TV ads, unfortunately, this song won’t die. It’s probably a zombie song.









The Hamster Dance – What the hell?

Macarena - Los Del Rio: A stupid dance with a stupid song sung by two stupid old men.

Good Times – Tommy Lee: what the hell happened Tommy? You’d have to knock out another 50 photographers now in order to restore some respect.

Eiffel 65
Evil, evil people

Blue – Eiffel 65: Very much akin to ‘who let the dogs out’, excruciatingly stupid, and incredibly painful to listen to.









Do ya think im sexy? - Rod Stewart: no.

Three Times a Lady – Lionel Richie & the Commodores : More of a dull, soppy lullaby than anything musically credible. And what does it mean to be ‘once, twice, three times a lady’? Does he have to check several times to make sure?


Paris Hilton
Go be talentless and stupid elsewhere


Also included:
- Any song by Paris Hilton
- Any song by a boyband
- Any song classified as ‘pop’
- Any song in the contemporary RnB/pop genre
- Any song by an Idol contestant

I agree with most of your choices, but 'pop' can be very diverse - I'd classify No Doubt and Garbage as pop, and they are very subversive bands. I'm also personally fond of the Sugababes, who do very interesting things with their music. Unfortunately they also released the ultra-annoying 'Push The Button' recently.

I haven't heard anything by K-Fed, and I hope never to!

Beg to differ with you on the Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? track ... Sure, Rod Stewart ain't no matinee idol, but that's beside the point, the song is a killer mid-tempo disco track. And trust me, I'm a professional DJ, I know what I'm saying. Michael Jackson might be a perverted, screwed up, weirdo, but hell, his early solo stuff is GOLD. I never judge the candy by the wrapper, the book by the cover, the song by the sleeve ...
3. November 29th 2006 @ 04:51. Bryn Says:
... and Sugababes Push The Button is a rockin' sexy lil R&B/house crossover tune too!! Hot damn!
4. November 29th 2006 @ 04:55. Bryn Says:
seems you have some very specific criteria for what rates as "worst song ever" ... anything classified as "pop" ... that's about the broadest music term ever created ... how you gonna squeeze that one down? There have been literally hundreds of sensational pop songs written since the birth of rock'n'roll (pretty much where pop music began) ... But then, sure, there are some truly awful pieces of "pop" music that have been released in the hope of appearing on some country's Top 40 ...
Beauty is most definitely in the EAR of the beholder.

Horrorfile,
Note the slightly humourous tone I was using in this piece, so the whole 'pop' music thing could be seen as anything manufactured by music company executives in order to make quick money by making a crappy two-bit song that saturates airwaves for a month then dissapears.
6. November 29th 2006 @ 05:42. Bryn Says:
Okay. Gotcha. Perhaps I read your post too quickly. I missed the tone of humour. Of at least, the bit in reference to "pop" .... thanks for the clarification.
And it's horrorphile ... cheers!

Awww, c'mon. Sure that Ween song might be annoying, but those guys are some of the most talented bastards out there. Yeah, "Push The Little Dasies" is stupid, but so is Australia for putting it in the top ten (I think we're the only country to do this). The Pure Guava album had so many better cuts on it.

And "Rush" by BAD is pretty happenin', too.
8. November 29th 2006 @ 09:15. Mrs M Says:
C'mon Rush ain't that bad.

What about that other white boy rapper - Snow. Informer sucked big time.

And anything by Metallica sucks too.

Definitely agree about Paris Hilton. The girl is a dingbat.

My god, this list could go on and on.

Good post.

9. November 29th 2006 @ 09:56. ChrisB Says:
Hellvis,
Yeah Ween arent bad - but that song is. Ween being Ween, it was probably made as annoying as possible for their own smartarse kicks. Gabrielle is a fantastic song, btw.

Mrs M,
Yes, Rush is that bad, ever really listened to it? its mind numbing! Never heard of Snow - but I can already tell he sucks.

And Metallica rule thank you very much...
10. November 29th 2006 @ 12:26. Ploy Says:
Anything which is released by an Australian Idol or rejected idol is bad.

Word to yo mother.
11. November 29th 2006 @ 13:44. Hope Says:
I agree wholeheartedly with "Who let the Dogs Ou" t I mean the song only has one line in it and repeats it over and over and over again....
12. November 29th 2006 @ 21:16. Cibbuano Says:
Achy-Breaky Heart? Nasty!

13. November 29th 2006 @ 23:31. KylieW Says:
Ice Ice Baby??? Are you crazy? That song is great!!! But then, I do love Vanilla Ice (what can I say....I love trash).

Funnily enough, I was at a friends house on the weekend (a house filled with 25 year old boys....frightening in itself), and this song came on, and I swear to god they all lost their minds. Most of them knew every word and they were doing their Vanilla Ice impressions....it was very funny.

Completely agree on Achy Breaky Heart and the Macarena (though I still know the dance off by heart....weird).

You could probably add the Venga Bus by the Venga Boys and Tubthumping by Chumba Wumba (I get knocked down, but I get up again....please,please just stay down!).

It's sad that I actually like most of the songs on your list.

If you think Do You Think I'm Sexy by Rod Stewart is bad, wait until you hear Paris Hilton's version of it!!! It's beyond bad (yes, I bought the album, supposedly for my sister....but then I also bought the Very Best of David Hasselhoff for a laugh....it was so bad I love it).




14. November 29th 2006 @ 23:33. RachG Says:
Hate to break this to you chris hehe but the beatles are classified as the pioneers of pop!
15. November 29th 2006 @ 23:39. Trina Says:
I noticed that frog ringtone/song isn't included. Any songs which come from ringtones in similar fashion ais noise pollution.

Most of what was on your list I can put up with on rare occasions except Paris and K-Fed and Nicky Webster (after reading Kylie's outburst on Duff and Madden splitting up)...
16. November 29th 2006 @ 23:58. KylieW Says:
Oh yes, ringtone songs automatically have to be included in any worst list you'd think.
17. November 30th 2006 @ 00:36. ChrisB Says:
Kylie,
I know every word of Ice Ice Baby, and if it comes on at a party, its true that everybody flips.

The Beatles invented pop, but you wouldnt call their music 'pop' these days.

And yes, that frog/ringtone thing would have to rank as one of the worst things ever on earth. Not jsut in terms of music.
18. November 30th 2006 @ 01:12. KylieW Says:
Why is it that the worst songs are often the most catchy??? It's not right.

19. November 30th 2006 @ 02:42. Nina Says:
Great list - I'd also have to include anything by Aqua *shudder*
20. November 30th 2006 @ 03:00. Bryn Says:
Aqua! YIKES!!! What happened to them?
On a slight tangent .... tis funny how now and again Australasia gets these foreign acts with a one hit wonder (occasionally two), and then they disappear back into their own country's void never to heard down under again .... strange. Why them? Why then?
For Example:
Nena ~ 99 Luftballons
Falco ~ Der Kommissar & Rock Me Amadeus
Plastic Bertrand ~ Ca Plane Pour Moi
Trio ~ Da Da Da
Aqua - The Barbie Song (was there more??)
Time Bandits - I'm Only Shooting Love


Now don't get me confused though. I actually rate all those songs 'cept for Barbie Song and Rock Me Amadeus ... and Da Da Da (I don't love you, you don't love me, aha, aha, aha) ....

21. November 30th 2006 @ 07:32. Mrs M Says:
Nice to see we're on the same page then
22. November 30th 2006 @ 10:15. postmoderncritic Says:
I adore Aqua... they actually had a lot of hit singles here- Lollipop (Candyman), Doctor Jones, My Oh My and Turn Back Time, Cartoon Heroes and Around The World.
23. December 5th 2006 @ 22:51. Stephi Says:
Im so glad you remebered Blue. That song along with the others make me feel physically sick, every time I hear them.
24. July 4th 2008 @ 10:26. Anonymous Says:
"POP"? Now you're just being kind of unreasonable. And anything by boybands? What? Jonas Brothers, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, you mean? RnB?

The list was good at first. Then you started generalizing and kind of just became annoying (and discriminative) yourself.
