290. Monkeyface – 1999 (Was A Good Year, Why Did This Monkey Have To Ruin It?) (1983)Actual title: Prince - 1999
@wife and
FreakyFlyBry got it.
This is another song that had potential to be great, but then Prince the Monkeyface had to open his mouth. HE CAN'T SING!!! OMG. And WHY are you singing about 1999 in 1983?! That is NOT what your mother meant by "look ahead into the future." GOD.
289. Lenny Krapvitz – (I Wish This Song Would) Fly Away (1998)Actual: Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away
Not only have I always hated this song, but VH1 and MTV would not stop playing this video back in the day!! Ordinarily I'd go into the story about how I was watching music videos in January 1999 and always changing the station when this came on, and then when I put on MTV I caught the tail end of "Baby One More Time" and that's how my love for Britney Spears began, but you know what? She's shit now too and she has several songs from her wonderful new album coming up.
288. The Killers – (No, I Don’t Want To Feel Your) Bones (2006)FreakyFlyBry is right. Those who were not around on M4B during the
Hot Fuss era might not understand why I find them SO f*ckING OVERRATED. Everyone and their Mom loved that album on here back in the day - which ordinarily would be fine with me, the problem is that ALL EVERYONE WOULD f*ckING TALK ABOUT would be how AMAZING and LEGENDARY and ICONIC and f*cking GROUNDBREAKING The Killers were! Now, I know I'm one to talk since I annoyed everyone with Tori Amos around the same time, but dude, it's not like
The Beekeeper was her debut album. She released several albums before 2005 and she had a much bigger body of work. People treated The Killers like The Beatles over ONE ALBUM!!! That and also one former member on here once called me out for not liking their song, "Somebody Told Me". I don't remember ever calling anyone out for hating "Sleeps With Butterflies". But I digress. This is their only appearance on the list although I am starting to regret not including "Mr. Brightside", possibly the most overrated song of the 2000's, on here. This song is just annoying. "Don't you wanna come with me, don't you wanna feel my bones, on your bones, it's only natural." - GROUNDBREAKING lyrics right there.
287. George Ewwface – Prince (1988))Actual: George Michael - Monkey
For those who don't understand why I keep calling Prince "Monkeyface", I always thought his face resembled a monkey. But anyway, this song is soooo annoying. I feel like it's the same lines over and over. "Do you love the monkey or do you love me?" - write-in for neither.
286. Jackass - Down On Me (1992)Actual name of this group is Jackyl.
Jackyl were a rock group from the early 90's and probably the earliest cock rock band I can remember. They are HORRIBLE. The singer (I think his name was Jesse James Dupree) cannot sing to save his life, the lyrics are ridiculous, and the song is just a mess. However, there is one other song from them that I find MUCH worse than this.
285. Gene Simmons – (I Am Not The) Firestarter (Because I Am A Money Whore) (2004)Terrible remake of The Prodigy song "Firestarter". The ONLY reason why I know this is because a former friend of mine and I listened to the album
Asshole. The whole album was baaaad but this one was a standout. GENE SIMMONS covering THE PRODIGY? OMG WHY. DUDE. SERIOUSLY. Also, this guy is a major ass and I really don't give two shits about Kiss's Hall Of Fame induction. Nirvana & Linda Ronstadt >>>>>> Overrated money whores.
284. Rednex - Cotton Eyed Joe (Is A Douchebag) (1995)I'm sorry, but to me, country and dance just do to mix. This song is a MESS. Even the name of the group turns me off - Rednex? Where are they from, Daytona?!
283. Kings Of Annoyingness – (I Need To) Use Somebody (That Will Improve My Boring Music) (2009)Actual: Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody
I was very barely paying attention to pop music in 2009 and by the end of the year around the time this was a hit I was not paying attention at all. So - and this is a serious question - how in the HELL did this crap get to #1?! Seriously, I want to know. How did an indie song get #1 during the Gaga era?? The song is boring, yes, but I think what bothers me more about this song is the singer's EXTREMELY whiny vocals. Seriously, he whines so much he sounds like he's going to cry. Get some vocal lessons brotha!
282. George Ewwface – Too Crap (1992)Actual: George Michael - Too Funky
The supermodel who was in this video was Tyra Banks. Why someone as FIERCE as her would want to hang out with Mr. Ewwface, I don't know, but anyway, I never liked this song. "I'd love to see you naked baby" - the feeling ain't mutual.
281. Whore featuring Half-Assedney Spears – Slutty & Moronic (2011)Actual: Rihanna featuring Britney Spears - S&M
Actually, this song had potential to be a catchy pop song. But it's soooooo slutty. I can't get past the trashiness of this song. And as if the original wasn't bad enough, the remix with Britney is even worse! She sounds like a little kid. Possibly the worst vocals she has ever provided EVER. If Rihanna and Britney wanted to collaborate so badly, they should've just recorded a new song together, but given their recent tendencies to half-ass their music, that probably wouldn't have gone over so well either.
COMING UP: 280.
Unkie thinks this late 60's hit sounds like a Christmas song.
279. Rap song that samples... Ozzy Osbourne?!
278. Early 90's song from a hard rock group from Isla Vista, California.
277. A song from a band who appeared in the previous set!
276. A band who had several #1 hits on my chart in the late 2000's totally lost me with this song.
275. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THEY WON'T PLAY GRACE, BUT THEY WILL GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO PLAY JIM "I CAN'T SING" MORRISON!"
274. The most generic rock band ever.
273. Latin artist who collaborates with Pitbull too much (and it's not J.Lo!)
272. The artist who never ages!
271. Another artist who was in the previous set. In this one, he spells like a 3-year-old!
