That Ween one is another signature token bad song, talk about an off key anthem! LOL Rihfund, I didn't mind "Can't Remember To Forget You" but it did get old fast. "All Summer Long" was okay at first but I got tired of it fast and I'm still kinda sick of it to this day. I like "Stressed Out", my favourite from them; it made my top 10. LOL interchangeable EDM DJ's, I liked "Stay" at first, but like other songs in this set, I got tired of it fast. "Riptide" and "Pumped Up Kicks" were both alright. LOL "Crazy Horses", I like it ironically if only for how rock and rool it is. "Benny The Bouncer" really made me go WTF! I respect Emerson, Lake & Palmer's talents and like some of their other songs but there was just no reason for this to exist! One of the worst token bad songs ever. I actually find "L.A. Woman" to be very overrated and drags on too long. I like other Doors songs but think this is overrated. 260. Olivia Newton-John - Physical? 257. Tony Christie - (Is This The Way To) Amarillo? 255. T-Pain - Buy U A Drank? 252. Michael Bolton - Can I Touch You... There?

I thought your 'Eric Cartman' clue was going to be Eric Carmen. I haven't heard of Ween, but he probz has a small one.
Shakira & Rihfund, yeah look, this was pretty bland. You'd think for two hot chicks like this they could come up with something that isn't a snoozefest.
Kid flop - agreed. Hated the original, hate this. And Kid Rock is just gross in general.
21 douchebags have to be THE single worst group in recent years. I'll listen to metal over these guys. Just horrid. Almost on a 'Train'-level for me.
Didn't mind 'Stay' but I never repeated it when I heard it.
Omg, 'Riptide' is an epic here. I quite like it and I usually don't like alt-rock. I think it's actually STILL in the Aussie Hot 100 to this day.
'Pumped Up Kicks' was meh. I didn't understand what it was about. Cool shoes?
I don't know 'Benny The Bouncer'
And The Doors suck 😋
I missed one. Can't have been too memorable. Oh it was 'Crazy Horses' - yep, don't know it.

Since I didn't update this yesterday, I'm going to post two sets today. So YAY for double the crap! 260. Lionel Bitchie – “Truly (This Song Sucks)” (1982)Oh lawd. Could you get ANY more boring than this?! He has a few decent songs like "Running With The Night" and "Dancing On The Ceiling", but this ain't one of them! 259. Gabriel Le Ban – “(There's Popcorn) Up Your Nose” (1977)Actual name is Gabriel Kaplan. And for those who don't get the title I gave it... long story. This was the token bad song on the 1977 edition of The Yearbook for good reason. Talk about an off key anthem! 258. The Noiseheads – “B.Y.O.F. (Bring Your Own Fungus)” (2005)Actual name of the band is System Of A Down. This was actually the first song of theirs I ever heard. I heard OF them at the time since Rob64 always talked about how wonderful they were and FreakyFlyBry always talked about how shit they were, and I was just like idk who that is. Then I saw them perform this song on Saturday Night Live and exactly the first thing I thought to myself was, "Oh my God, these guys are noiseheads!" I get where they were going with this as far as the political message, but it's just too damn messy for me to take seriously. Give me the two-minute fungus remix that gets cut off by the Speakonia guy or Pipa's mashup with Thomas The Tank over this any day! 257. Geezers – “(Is This The Way To) Amarillo” (2005)Actual artists are Tony Christie & Peter Kay. This was originally a hit in the UK back in the 70's, but it was re-released in 2005 and overstayed it's f*cking welcome at #1. This was #1 back when Unkie and I listened to the chart show on BBC Radio One (oh, the memories of us throwing a hissy fit and throwing pillows when U2 was beaten by the Crazy Frog for #1!), and at first it was cute that this ancient song was a #1 hit in 2005, but by it's third or fourth week on top it was like ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!! It's not even that great to begin with! 256. Rae Something – “Whack Beatles” (2016)Black Beatles? Really? You mofos think that highly of yourselves? Get off your high horse and let's appreciate the #realblackBeatle 255. T-Pain – “Buy U A Tylenol” (2007)Because that's exactly what I need whenever I hear T-Pain and his excessive autotune. 254. MEHgan Trainor – “Lips Aren't Movin’ (Because I Can't Sing)” (2014)This song was, and still is, annoying as shit. NEXT! 253. Slutley Skankrus – “Can’t Be Talented” (2010)Although I was very barely paying attention to pop music at the time this was out, I remember watching this video when it first came out because my ex-friend posted it on her Facebook and I was curious, and while it's not the raunchiest video in the world (especially compared to her later stuff), it was still very uncomfortable. Girls (and boys for that matter) really do grow up too fast these days and it's sad. As for the song, it sucks. Quit worrying about being tamed and get some damn singing lessons! 252. Michael Boring – “Can I Touch You… Nowhere?” (1995)I said this in 2006, and in 2011, and now I'm gonna say it again... OMG NO YOU SICKO DON'T TOUCH ME. 251. Moron 5 – “Don’t Wanna Know (How Much Dope You Were On When You Recorded This)” (2016)This is another one of those songs I hear every f*cking day. I don't get why this was so huge, it's bland and goes absolutely nowhere. Easily their worst song (although given how everything after this has been, I could see them eventually releasing something worse). Oh how the mighty have fallen! I remember when they used to be one of the most popular acts on here. It's actually really sad.

250. Loudon Wainwright III - Dead Skunk (1973)Honestly, have no idea how to mess with that artist's name or the title. They're both so ridiculous they speak for them self. How this dude got a record deal is beyond me. HE CAN'T SING!! 249. Ohio Players - (Not A) Funky Worm (1973)I usually like the Ohio Players, but this is a HOT MESS. It had potential since it was sampled in a lot of 80's and 90's hip hop, but it's too messy for me to take seriously. 248. War - EWWWWWWW GEORGE NOPEZ (1975)
Actual title is "Low Rider", and I first heard this in the late 2000's when Nick At Nite decided to be morons and start airing "The George Lopez Show" (seriously one of the unfunniest sitcoms I've ever watched. They seriously took off Murphy Brown for that crap?! WELL I NEVER). This was the theme song to that show, and I've hated it since. Not only is it associated with a terrible show, but the vocals are annoying and it goes nowhere. They have one more song still to come - but it's not "Spill The Wine" or "Galaxy" as those are the only songs from them I like. 247. Hurricane Smith - Oh, Babe What Would You Say (To My Off-Key Vocals) (1973)
Again, HOW DID THESE PEOPLE GET RECORD DEALS?! 246. Chuck Berry - My Ding-A-Ling (Is Small) (1972)This was another one I kinda debated on because of what recently happened to this artist. But dude, this is soooooo bad. He is one of the pioneers of rock and roll and is a huge legend, and his biggest chart hit was a song about his dick. I really f*cking hate pop culture sometimes. 245. Bette Midler - Do You Want To Be A Geezer (1973)
I actually like Bette Midler. In fact, rockists around the world will frown upon me when I say that I truly believe "Wind Beneath My Wings" is a great song. This one, on the other hand, is another story. She's whispering like she thinks she's Selena Gomez, and the song is boring as hell. No thank you! 244. Passenger – “Let My Off-Key Vocals Go” (2013)Please learn to sing, thank you. 243. 21 Douchebags – “Ride” (2016)Overrated indie douches doing a song with a reggae influence? That's just ASKING for me to hate on you! 242. Helen Not-Reddy - I Am Geezer (1972)
I'm going to rehash my commentary from my 2015 list of the worst songs of the 70's, since my story of when I discovered this explains things perfectly... This was unfortunately the very first song of hers I ever heard, way back in 2006. During my very brief tomboy phase back in middle school, there was one day where I was in the library and an IDIOT teacher who was in there too with her class mistook me for a student of hers named Dillon, and when the teacher and her students realized that I was a girl, some students started laughing. I felt TERRIBLE. No girl EVER wants to be confused for a guy. When I came home, I told my Mom about it and I was crying, and she put this song on to cheer me up and she even started dancing with me. While I did appreciate my Mom's gesture and she did cheer me up by just listening to me and caring, I couldn't help but think to myself how terrible the song was. Seven years later, I was listening to an AT40 show from 1972, and saw that an artist named Helen Reddy had a song on the chart called "I Am Woman". I put two and two together and realized it was her who did that song, and she's been constantly made fun of by yours truly ever since! Seriously though, I do appreciate the message of this song and I respect what it did for the feminist movement, but it's just not a good song. AT ALL. 241. Barry Geezerlow - Blandy (1975)One of the most GEEZERLY songs ever made. It's boring and cheesy and REALLY schmaltzy. The only time Barry Geezerlow was cool was here: 240. When nuns go disco! 239. The second of three #1 hits from one of the most hated 70's divas on this board. 238. This was from the same year as #239, although this artist was only a two-hit wonder. This was her first hit (the second didn't make the list but that sucks too). 237. I think this was from 1971. That's all I have to say about this. 236. Another female two-hit wonder from the 70's. Linda Ronstadt was a huge fan of this artist and I'm still trying to figure out why. 235. One of the most OVERDRAMATIC SONGS ever made! I even threw shade at it at one point during the Harry Chapin episode of "The Book Club". 234. Speaking of the Book Club, I discovered the first song from this artist that I liked on one of the 80's Yearbooks. This one, however, is from the 70's, and it sucks. 233. This group (who many people consider funk but I don't really see it?) had many hits in the 70's. This was one of their biggest, reaching #3 (or #2? I forgot) in 1973. 232. The highest appearance for my least favorite classic rock band! 231. #1 hit from 1964. Tagging Pipa for his reaction.

Of course, Geezer Featuring Peter Kay had to make it!
That T-Pain song only got #31, and that's coming from someone who charted him constantly at the time! One of his weakest.
Barry Manilow, Michael Bolton, Miley Cyrus and Meghan Trainor.....just "eh" to all of them.
I don't dislike the Maroon 5 song, but they have had MUCH better.
System Of A Down certainly wasn't good, but at the same time, completely forgettable.
I don't know the Bette Midler, Ohio Players, Lionel Richie or Gabriel Kaplan songs.
I disagree on 21 Pilots, War, and especially Loudon Wainwright III. I did like the Passenger song, but I am bored of it now.
COMPLETELY agreed with you, however, on Black Beatles, Helen Reddy, Hurricane Smith and Chuck Berry (it's incredible that such a great singer had a #1 with his crappiest single).

B.Y.O.B. is best enjoyed with Thomas the Tank Engine. I can understand My Ding-a-Ling being big at the time, but his only #1? Really? I'm Henry was 1965 and I know it's #231 you whore but I still love you <3

"Truly" wasn't anything impressive, but give it to me over "Just To Be Close To You", "Still", "Wonderland" or especially "Se La" any day! Don't remember that 1977 token bad song, but I seem to usually hate your Yearbook token bad songs so I'll take your word that I probably hated it when I heard it. Wow, I'm stunned "B.Y.O.B." is so low! I had that top 30 on my worst chart, I can't believe I hate it more than you do! Seriously, one of the biggest pieces of noisehead ever. (Still, B.Y.O.T. is classic.) I never saw the fuss with "Amarillo", though it did open the doors to making fun of a lot more geezers. "Black Beatles" was awful, all of those memed-out mumble rap songs can go to hell. F*ck T-Pain, he truly was everything that was wrong with 00's urban music. I liked "Lips Are Movin'" a little but she's had better. "Can't Be Tamed" is actually my second favourite Miley song. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW MICHAEL BORING YOU SICKO. DON'T TOUCH ME. Seriously, what the f*ck kind of mess was that? Simply horrendous. That Maroon 5 one was their jump the shark moment for me, can't believe they released something that sounded like every other pop song out at the time, it just annoyed me to no end. Sadly I feel they are done for me as they have kept releasing crap ever since. I like "Low Rider" and "Mandy", but agree with you on all those other 70's songs in that set to some extent, even if in many cases I like the artists' other stuff. "Let Her Go" and "Ride" I don't mind, though I prefer other Twenty One Pilots songs (and "Let Her Go" is indeed my favourite from Passenger.) 240. Sister Janet Mead - The Lord's Prayer? 239. Helen Reddy - Delta Dawn? 238. Donna Fargo - Funny Face? 236. Maria Muldaur - Midnight At The Oasis? 235. David Geddes - Run Joey Run? 234. Phoebe Snow - Poetry Man? 233. War - The Cisco Kid? 232. The Doors - whatever your most hated song from them is 231. Herman's Hermits - I'm Henry?

260. Lionel Bitchie – “Truly (This Song Sucks)” (1982) I am totally calling him Lionel Bitchy from now on Don't Know 259 and am too scared to check it out. I never actually heard this one from SOAD. Only Chop Suey, but it pretty much sounds the same. WHY did Saturday Night Live agree to them performing?? 257: Dunno 256: Haha, I didn't even realise this is what they were getting at with the title of the song until you mentioned it here. I just thought it was a shit song with a lazy title. 255: Wouldn't expect anything less than shit from him. 254: Lips Are Moving was pretty lame 253: Didn't mind 'Can't Be Tamed" - loling at your title. 252: Don't know 251: Yeah this was bad from them. I think this was strike 2 or 3. 250-247: Don't know 246: Hahahahaha, what was he thinking!? 245: "She's whispering like she thinks she's Selena Gomez" Oh you kill me gurrl! Yes, this was shit. 244: Passenger is very popular here, busked is a few of our cities on his travels before he made it big. I quite liked this one. 243: ERGHGHGHGH, I'd seriously throw rotten tomatoes at the stage if I happened to be there (which I certainly wouldn't be). What a horrid song. 242: Hahaha, your classic hit! I didn't know your history of first hearing the track but I do find it funny that your mum was trying to cheer you up with a song that bored you to tears. I don't know why this was so big. I think I remember hearing it on the radio a lot when I was very little, even though it was out 11 years before I was born. 241: I liked 'Mandy'! I preferred Homer Simpson's version, "Mindy", however.

I'm guessing that today's pop hits round will let us know if the screamer, Jessie J, is still to come - as we've already seen Vance Joy and both have songs in today's round. (though she may have forgotten "Burnin' Up", I'd expect other Jessie J stuff in here)

(though she may have forgotten "Burnin' Up", I'd expect other Jessie J stuff in here) *insert Jessie J's entire discography* "Bang Bang" for sure, maybe 'Lazerlight' & 'Do It Like A Dude'? "Who You Are", despite me thinking it's a decent song, has WAY too many voice-cracks. Almost on a Sia-"I'm-Alive"-level And we all know how much Jess loves Sia. "Real Deal" will be in my Year-End $hitlist this year - that was horrendous in my books.

240. Sister Janet Meh - The Lord's Prayer (1974)
What a MESS. Christian and disco are two styles of music that really just shouldn't mix. 239. Helen Not-Reddy - Delta Yawn (1973)
You're boring! This has a country-ish kind of sound which probably makes me hate this one even more. Definitely one of her worst! 238. Moron McGovern - The Morning After (When You Sober Up And Realize My Song Sucks) (1973)
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW GEEZER! CUPPY said it best, "This black man thinks you should stay away from Maureen." 237. Daddy Dewdrop - Chick-A-Boom (1971)
Like "Dead Skunk", I have no idea how to f*ck with that artist name or title as they're already ridiculous af - just like this song! Talk about a hot mess. 236. Maria Mehdaur - I'm A Geezerly Woman (1975)
Her voice sounds BRUTAL on this song. I remember Casey Kasem telling a story on an AT40 episode with this song on it about how Linda Ronstadt was a huge fan of hers, and this was right around the time I started getting into Linda so I was trying really hard to like this but I couldn't get past the off-key vocals. Then a few months later I found out she was the woman behind "Midnight At The Oasis" (which is still to come) and everything started making sense. 235. David Geddes - Hey, Let's Be Overdramatic Mofos For No Reason! (1975)
Actual title is "Run Joey Run", and if you've heard this song you'll understand the title. One of the CHEESIEST, most OVERDRAMATIC pieces of crap I've ever heard! 234. Phoebe Snow - Poetry Man (Is A Geezer) (1975)
Another one who can't sing (or so I thought). Yes, she sounds terrible on this as well as the song she did with Paul Simon later that year (which missed the list), but if you want a BOP from her, her 1981 single "Games" impressed me when I played it on the 1981 edition of The Yearbook. This one, however, is still awful. 233. War - The Cisco Jerk (1973)
If you EVER want to give me a headache, just put on this song. Mess with a capital M! Easily their worst song. 232. The Whoors – “Screamfest Blues” (1970)
Hey look! Another headache anthem! Their worst song, and that's saying something given how highly I think of The Doors. 231. Herman’s Geezers – “I’m Henry” (1965)
I heard this for the first time last year because Pipa kept talking about this group and I couldn't name you one song of theirs. That shocked him so he sent me this, which, to quote Natalie Imbruglia's underrated 1998 hit, was a BIG MISTAKE. WHAT the HELL is this CRAP?!?!! I'm Henry the eighth I am? WHO TALKS LIKE THAT? JUST SAY YOU'RE HENRY THE EIGHTH. WHY ARE THERE 8 HENRYS TO BEGIN WITH? ONE WAS BAD ENOUGH!!! His vocals are annoying, the song is cheesy as hell, and the second verse is the same as the first! HOW HALF ASSED IS THAT?! GOD. 230. The Lying Song 2016! 229. When a Latin geezer and a country geezer unite! 228. The first of two appearances for this hard rock band from Kennesaw, GA. 227. "You thought this song wouldn't suck? Got Ya!" 226. Token bad song from an 80's edition of The Yearbook - if I remember correctly, Bebe Reptar recommended this one too. 225. One of the many appearances for my most hated rapper of the 2000's. This was one of his first major hits, released in 2003. 224. This shares a similar title with #230 - also known as The Lying Song 2007! 223. 2013 hit for this singer who is more well-known as an actress. 222. This is the first and only time I will acknowledge Bill Jupiter 's existence in this thread. 221. Dance hit from Pipa 's favorite year, 2002.
