Yes, for the first time in 5 years, I'm doing this again very very soon! More than likely a top 300 again but we'll see. I may shorten it.

About time! We'll definitely see the Book Club's impact with all those token bad songs.

Yes, for the first time in 5 years, I'm doing this again very very soon! More than likely a top 300 again but we'll see. I may shorten it. It will be a top 200 and it will be coming VERY soon. Either tomorrow or possibly even later tonight. But before I share my updated list of my 200 most hated songs ever, I wanted to give some (dis)honorable mentions to some shitty covers that I have discovered over the last few years: Device – “Close My Eyes Forever” - You all know how OFFENDED I was when this came out. Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne's version from 1989 was and still is legendary and iconic, we did not need the lead singers from two of the most overrated hard rock bands ever to team up and ruin this. David Draiman did redeem himself recently with Disturbed's excellent duet with Ann Wilson, "Don't Tell Me", which spent four weeks at #1 on my chart. But Lzzy Hale has yet to redeem herself - in fact - her band Halestorm continues to constantly do bad covers of so many great songs. I'd name them, but then this entire f*cking post would be about Halestorm. I'd say the one that really sticks out to me is their cover of Pat Benatar's "Hell Is For Children". f*ck that was bad. Doja Cat - "Celebrity Skin" - LOL no. I liked "Say So" for about a minute until I found out who produced it, but other than that Doja Cat is so f*cking annoying to me. Her covering this legendary and iconic Hole song was random and came out of nowhere. I will admit it could've been much, much worse, but I still don't like it. Boogie Pimps - "Somebody To Love" - We do not turn the queen's music into mediocre dance anthems. Thank you. Faster Pussycat - "You're So Vain" - The only song I like from this band is "House Of Pain". Every else is watered down hair metal. Don't get me wrong, I love most hair metal, but for every Bon Jovi and Def Leppard, you have a f*cking Poison (I'll get to them later in this post lol). The rest of their catalogue - especially this awful version of a Carlegend Slaymon classic - is not it. Gabbie Hanna - "You Oughta Know" - An obnoxious influencer covering an Alanis Morissette classic. HOW could this POSSIBLY go wrong??? LMAO. Killswitch Engage – “Holy Diver” - Um no honey we are not going to be doing screamo versions of Dio songs. Try again buddy! Lizzy Borden - "White Rabbit" - We do not turn the queen's music into mediocre hair metal anthems. Thank you. Nitro – “Cat Scratch Fever” - This was the short-lived metal band fronted by Jim Gillette, who Lita Ford was married to from 1994-2011. I've heard a few of their songs and what they are most well-known for are Jim's super high-pitched vocals, which for a brief time I tried to get into because he was married to Lita but it was not good. I hope Demi Lovato never hears any of their stuff because she shouts enough in her songs and I don't want her to get any more ideas! But this one is hands down their worst. Like, I remember having to cover my ears when I listened to it. I may not like Ted Nugent's politics, but he has some good songs including this one, and I will be gladly sticking to that over Jim Gillette's clout-chasing ass. Poison - "SexyBack" - Why. The. f*ck. Did. This. Happen. Reel Big Fish – “Kiss Me Deadly” - If there is one subgenre of rock that emerged in the 90's that I never got into, it was ska. Ska takes a lot of elements from reggae, which is one of my most hated genres ever, so ska really never had a chance with me. The only exceptions are No Doubt and one Sublime song ("What I Got"). So basically, Lita Ford cover + ska band = Ryan Adams - "Wonderwall" - Okay come on do I REALLY need to explain this one?! f*ck Ryan Adams and his pretentious ass. I never liked him and after learning how he treated other women - including Mandy Moore who I have always loved and am still a big fan of to this day - he can really, really, really f*ck off. And he can take this shitty Oasis cover with him. Trisha Paytas – “Hot For Teacher” - See my Gabbie Hanna comment, although I think Trisha might be even more obnoxious lol Ugly Kid Joe - "Cat's In The Cradle" - I'll admit this isn't as bad as "Everything About You" or "Neighbor", but this just doesn't do it for me and I would much rather listen to Harry Chapin's original.

LOL all those cover song ruinations. I do actually like Ugly Kid Joe's version of Cat's In The Cradle though, even if it doesn't have the emotion of the Harry Chapin original and turned it into generic hair metal.
But yeah, I think I remember that Gabbie Hanna one from the Book Club and it was so awful that it made me want to clear it out of my head with the Alanis version. I can tolerate the covers of Close My Eyes Forever and Somebody To Love as well, though clearly Lita and Grace do them far better.
Lzzy Hale is generally awful on cover songs (the fact that we did a 20hitz on songs she ruined says it all), but I actually like Halestorm's current ballad "Terrible Things". As for Doja Cat, I generally can't stand her and Hole obviously did "Celebrity Skin" so much better.

DISCLAIMER: This list is all in good fun and is not meant to shame anyone. Yes, I make fun of the artists. Yes, I make fun of the songs. In some cases, I may even make fun of the albums the songs are on. But not ONCE will I be shaming the people who listen to and enjoy these songs and artists. Everyone has an opinion and their own story to tell, and if you f*ck with that Justin Bieber or Imagine Dragons or Meghan Trainor song that I can't stand, that's okay! You do you and live your best life. I have zero judgment towards you and never want to take that enjoyment away from you. But also, if I respect your opinion, you have to respect mine too. There's nothing wrong with you liking these songs, but there is also nothing wrong with me hating them.200. Henhouse Five Minus Too - "In The Mood (To Be A Chicken)" (1977)Actual artist is Henhouse Five Plus Too. This was a side project of Ray Stevens, who had hits in the early 70's with "Everything Is Beautiful" and "The Streak" (the latter is still to come). For some reason, he felt the need to cover Glenn Miller's "In The Mood" but with chicken noises. No, I am not making this up. This is basically what would've happened if Chicken Boo from Animaniacs got a top 40 hit. I will admit it IS a little funny, but after like the first minute or so it's like enough already!!! I also had a dummy mummy moment after I heard heard this on American Top 40 in 2014. I was curious what Glenn Miller thought of this, so I Googled "Glenn Miller reacts to Henhouse Five." Unkie then had to tell me that Glenn Miller died in 1944, 33 years before this came out. 199. Neil Sedaka - "The Off-Key Anthem" (1975)Actual title, of course, is "Bad Blood". Another discovery from my 70's whore era. One morning in fall 2013, I woke up early to listen to AT40 as per usual back then, and it was a 1975 show where this was one of the first songs played. I was still trying to wake up, I didn't make my coffee yet, and in general I was pretty out of it. The moment it got to the chorus I was like, "Um is he singing off key? What the hell it wrong with this guy?? He has a record label and he's singing off key!" So ever since then, this has been the off-key anthem. 198. Perfume Dummy – “I’m A Mother (That Sounds Like Death)” (2014)Actual artist is Perfume Genius. Cao Bin don't hate me please. So I'm sure you all know the story by now - in 2015 I hosted the Song Contest, and in the first round he submitted this song. I even remember during the results show I called it "The song that everyone has been talking about this week." I wasn't kidding, that was ALL we talked about that week in the Skype chat! I thought the song was weird and went nowhere, his vocals sounded like gargling, and the music in general just sounded like death. But in a sick twisted way, this song has also become very iconic. I feel like now whenever any of us think of the Song Contest, we don't think of Lifehouse's epic "Everything" that helped Kelowna Dan win the first Song Contest back in 2004, or the time I accidentally allowed @whoselinefan to submit a song that went to #1 in the UK (The Police's "Walking On The Moon"). When I think of the Song Contest now, I think of "I'm A Mother" and what an inside joke it became. Plus, it resulted in some badass mashups. Pipa and I have mashed it up with Madonna's "Vogue", Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", The Eagles' "Hotel California", Judas Priest's "Breaking The Law", and probably some other songs I can't remember right now. Wow, I think this is the most positive commentary I've ever had towards a song in my worst songs list. 197. Selena Homez – “Bad Singer” (2017)Actual artist is Selena Gomez and actual song is "Bad Liar". Okay first of all, "Psycho Killer"? Really? That's one of my favorite Talking Heads songs! Second, I truly do not understand why she is so popular. She's a shitty singer, her songs are unmemorable, and she seems to have a very unlikable personality. She acts like she is all about mental health but someone with a big platform like her (isn't she like the most followed celebrity on Instagram or something like that?) should be doing A LOT more when it comes to helping others with mental health and social media. It's very performative and fake. But what really made me can't stand her was reading about this. Just a gross human being with zero talent. Well, I can't speak on her acting since I've never seen any of her shows and movies, but she sure as hell ain't talented in the music department! 196. Prince – “Whack Sweat” (2006)Actual title is "Black Sweat". Well this is sad, I HATED this when it first came out and it's still absolutely terrible. It's a really bad attempt to do the crunk sound that was popular at the time. But I say it's sad because not that long ago this would've been at least top 20 on my list and now it's near the very bottom. It just goes to show how much crap has come out in the last 17 years. 195. The Doors Suck – “Break My Ears (To The Other Side)” (1967)Actual title is "Break On Through (To The Other Side)". This had potential, but what ruins this for me is Jim Morrison's Demi Lovato-like screaming. USE YOUR INDOOR VOICE. GOD. 194. Neil Young – “Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? Got Mashed Potatoes? ” (1981)Actual title is "T-Bone". Julian and I discovered this together on an "Anything goes" episode of The Book Club that we did together in February 2021. I wanted to check this song out because Unkie mentioned in the Facebook Messenger chat (yes we use this now instead of Skype) that he listened to this album and this song drove him insane. Whenever someone in the chat mentions a song that's really good or really bad, I add it to my private "The Book Club" playlist on Spotify to remind myself to listen to it. Of course, this backfired earlier this year when I accidentally added "Any Road Back" by Universal Honey to my new music playlist, but I digress. But anyway, Julian listened to this and we were like what the actual hell. Not only is the entire song Neil Young saying, "Got mashed potatoes? Ain't got no T-Bone!", but it goes on for NINE. f*ckING. MINUTES!!! Ain't NOBODY got time for that noise! 193. Geezers – “(Is This The Way To) Amarillo” (2005)Actual artists are Tony Christie and Peter Kay. This is another one that would've been much higher back in the day. This one DROVE ME INSANE when Unkie and I used to listen to the UK chart show. It was #1 for like 900 years and it was nothing special. Nobody on URAPS liked it. Nobody on UKMix liked it I believe ( FreakyFlyBry can confirm or deny this), so it was like who tf is buying this and preventing all these great songs from going to #1?? Now I hear they did a cover of "Thank You For Being A Friend" by Andrew Gold and it's like WHEN WILL THE GEEZERS AND THEIR MADNESS STOP ALREADY. 192. Rihfund – “Bitch Better Have My Rihfund” (2015)Actual artist is Rihanna and actual song is "Bitch Better Have My Money". Brian Fiffik aka KP aka Bill Jupiter - was THIS SONG really worth losing all your friends over? I stand by what I said in that legendary and iconic play or trash thread - the same one that caused the idiot boy who looks for love on YouPorn to start that Billy Uranus shit - this song is absolutely terrible. The entire song she sounds so rough and angry, and not in a cool or badass way, to me it was just cringe-worthy. I know there were a lot of people in that play or trash thread who said this was her worst song, but there are actually two others from her that I find much worse than this. 191. The Doors Suck – “Hate Her Madly” (1971)Actual title is "Love Her Madly". Jim sounds like he's sleepy on this song. He's so mumbly and annoying on this that I can't tell if he's sleepy or just trying to be the original Random Mumble Rapper. 190. Unkie has said before that this sounds like a Christmas song. 189. DO DO DO DO 188. For some reason, a country crossover hit from 2017. 187. Late 2000's British duo. 186. I'd MUCH rather see Jerry do this than this talentless geezer! 185. An early feminist anthem that gives me bad memories of being an awkward preteen. 184. This came out 43 years after #185, which is scary because to me songs like this set women back. 183. Fastball goes off key! 182. A very faceless hit from 2009. 181. I believe this song was revealed to be made entirely from GarageBand? I'm one to talk though.

The only songs there I don't mind are The Doors, and I find it hilarious how much you hate on them. By the way, The Doors suck. , and Neil Sedaka, and I will admit, the off key anthem comments are hilarious too. I mean, he'd been around since the 50's and had Elton John on backup, couldn't he have learned to sing on key by then? I prefer "Laughter In The Rain" though. LOL Henhouse Five Plus Too, the Crazy Frog of the 70's. Ray Stevens was one of the dumbest artists of the 70's (The Streak also sucks), but this took the cake as one of the worst. LOL Perfume Genius, the ultimate death sounding anthem! Selena Gomez is such an annoying whisper queen and "Bad Liar" was extremely annoying and repetitive. Easily one of the worst singers out there, and to think, I actually liked (and still like) a lot of her earlier stuff despite this! As much as I like Prince and feel he's a legend, "Black Sweat" just was weak for his standards and I felt it came across as too try-hard. I am still completely dumbfounded how offbeat Neil Young was in the 80's. I feel I'd WTF at a lot of his genre roulette that decade, but "T-Bone" was easily his worst... I mean who does a 9-minute ode to mashed potatoes? Legend he may be, but this one was awful, I'm sticking with his classics. "Amarillo" was absolutely awful. I mean, of all the 70's songs/artists to make a comeback in 2005... why this one? This gives geezers a bad name as Tony Christie was just awful and didn't have the appeal of the good 70's whore stuff that we like. "Bitch Better Have My Money" was simply horrendous. I already had an extremely low opinion of Rihfund by this point, but this just was annoying and had no redeeming qualities. Still one of her worst ever. 190 can't be Click Click Boom, that's iconic and legendary 189 has to be Light My Fire. 188... Bebe Rexha/Florida Georgia Line - Meant To Be? 187.. The Ting Tings? I could see you doing a combined entry for "That's Not My Name" and "Shut Up And Let Me Go". 185. Helen Reddy - I Am Woman? 184. Mehgan Trainor - Dear Future Husband? 183. Machine Gun Kelly & Camila Cabelno - Bad Things?

190. The Doors Suck – “(Please Do Not) Touch Me” (1968)More off key crap from everyone’s favorite overrated 60’s band! The vocals and music in this one are just brutal. But still not as bad as… 189. The Doors Suck – “DO DO DO DO LIGHT MY FIRE” (1967)In my opinion, this is the second most overrated song of all-time (the first will not be appearing until much, much later). I have tried to get this but I don’t. And the long version is even worse! DO DO DO DO LIGHT MY FIRE DO DO DO DO 188. Sam c*nt - "Body Like A Whack Road" (2017)Comparing a woman’s body to a BACK ROAD? Really? That’s what we’re doing now? I should’ve known, since this is coming from an artist who sounds like a 5th grade dropout, both vocally and lyrically. 187. The Ting Tings – “That’s Not My Name (But Nobody Knows It Because We Suck)” (2008)I remember there was a brief time in 2008 where I tried to get into “Shut Up And Let Me Go”, but when this one came out I didn’t even bother. This is so damn annoying!! WE GET IT. THAT’S NOT YOUR NAME. GOD. 186. Ray Shitvens - "The Streak" (1974)So let me get this straight - of all the things you could write about, you did a song about a STREAKER??? Between the cheesy lyrics and overly obnoxious twangy country elements, this one really never stood a chance with me. Awful. 185. Helen Reddy - "I Am Geezer" (1972)The one positive thing I will say about this song is that I know it broke a lot of barriers and helped a big women’s rights movement in the early 70’s. Having said that, I never cared for this song for two reasons. 1) It’s really, really cheesy, and 2) It brings back some bad 8th grade memories, as explained in this post from 2015: 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. 184. Mehgan Trashnor - "Dear Future Ex-Husband" (2015)Get used to seeing her name a lot, as this is her first of SIX appearances! The only songs from her that I don't completely hate are "No" and "Like I'm Gonna Lose You". Actually, "Let You Be Right" was alright as well. But everything else she has done has annoyed the shit out of me, especially because literally EVER. f*ckING. SONG. of hers is about how hot and wonderful and amazing she is. It comes across more conceited than empowering to me. This song is problematic in so many ways I don't know where to begin. The lines about buying groceries and "acting crazy" just sound straight out of the 1950's, and she is pretty much expecting the "future husband" to basically be her slave. Take a look at this: After every fight Just apologize And maybe then I'll let you try and rock my body right Even if I was wrong You know I'm never wrong Why disagree? Why, why disagree? Spoken like a true conceited narcissist! 183. Machine Gun Douchebag featuring Camilla Cabelno – “Bad Songs” (2016)Actual title is "Bad Things". This song is very boring and MGK's part in this song does nothing for me. However, neither of those factors are bad enough to include it on this list. What makes this "worst song" potential is Camilla's INCREDIBLY off-key and pitchy vocals in the chorus, which also samples the 1999 Fastball hit "Out Of My Head". She is honestly one of the worst singers I have ever heard in my life and I am completely dumbfounded that someone gave her a record deal. This is the only appearance for MGK on the list, but Camilla has one more solo song and one more with Fifth Harmony (and it's NOT "Work From Home"!) 182. Iyaz – “(Let's Not) Replay (This Autotuned Crap)” (2009)Dated, faceless, over-processed auto-tuned crap. NEXT! 181. Suckja Boy – “(And Let's Not) Crank That (Either)” (2007)This song sounds like it cost a grand total of $5 to make. I feel like I shouldn't be saying things like that though given that Pipa uses GarageBand for most of my music, but meh. Everything about this is just cheap, annoying, and obnoxious to me. 180. Off-Key Anthem ‘84 179. HOLY f*ckING f*ck. That body of yours is just absurd! 178. I'M HOT AND SEXY AND AMAZING! (Part 238) 177. The highest appearance from a band who sucks. 176. Charlie Puth and Shawn Mendes were just too basic for this list, but the other member of the Basic Boys was able to make it in with this one! 175. Speaking of basic boys, a 2017 hit for this basic band who makes Nickelback look like Soundgarden. 174. If you told me this 2020 song was by Miley Cyrus, I would've 100% believed you. 173. His fans unite! 172. The song that started the "INDIE." rants! 171. A huge beloved #1 from 2008 that I will probably get a lot of shit for having on here.

Again, I don't mind the Doors songs but for "Light My Fire", I'll only take the 3-minute edit. That does not have to be 7 minutes long! I can tolerate to some extent "Body Like A Back Road" (at least then - I wouldn't listen to it now). "That's Not My Name" was nothing special at all. "The Streak" is just one of those dumb novelty 70's songs. Seems like with 70's novelty, I either love it or hate it and I hate this one now. "I Am Woman" was just ok to me, she definitely had better though. I never liked "Dear Future Husband" so good call on that one. Definitely very problematic lyrics! Not only did it sound like 50's doo-wop, but it was complete with outdated values! "Bad Things" was absolutely atrocious. Thankfully Machine Gun Kelly redeemed himself since when he switched to rock, but Cabelno's herpes-inducing voice is one of the worst I've EVER heard. I hope "Never Be The Same" is the solo song she has still to come, because her vocals in that were painful! Surprised "Replay" is so low! It was nothing special to me. Wow, "Crank That" is way too low! I really, really hated that one, easily one of the worst rap "songs" ever. 179 has to be Moron 5, but which song? 178 is another Mehgan Trainor song. Can't be Made You Look or All About That Bass, those are much higher 177 is The Doors, again not sure which song 175. Imagine Dragons - Thunder? 174. Gabby Barrett - I Hope? 173. JP Suxe f/Julia Michaels - If The World Was Ending? 172. Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know?

180. Shit Harris – “Sugar Don’t Bite (But This Song Does)” (1984)Actual artist is Sam Harris. I first heard this years ago on XM's 80's On 8 station (just goes to show how long ago this was - it was before the Sirius merger!). I thought his voice was absolutely horrible, especially during the chorus. You wanna talk about off key?? THIS was the off-key anthem of the 80's! He does have a token good song in "I'd Do It All Again", but this one... no. Just no. 179. Moron 5 - "Memories (Of When We Didn't Suck)" (2020)Maroon 5 have been crap for awhile now, but a lot of their new stuff like "Girls Like You" and "Wait" just barely missed out. This is their only appearance on the list, and to this day I am completely dumbfounded how this became such a big hit for them. IT'S. SO. BORING!!!!! 178. Mehgan Trashnor – “Lips Aren't Movin’” (2014)She definitely has had worse and more obnoxious songs than this, but it's still annoying. It still gets overplayed on the radio and at retail stores to this day, and I really, really hate it when artists use the phrase "Blah blah blah" in their songs. By that logic, Kesha's "Blah Blah Blah" should've made this list. Meh. 177. The Doors Suck – “L.A. Woman” (1969)Their worst song. THIS DUDE CAN'T SING! Jim sounds absolutely terrible on this song. It's just trying way too hard. 176. Doofus Graham – “7 Years (Of Being Boring And Off-Key)” (2016)This song is so boring and depressing, and to add insult to injury you have a dude who can't sing to save his life. 175. Imagine Douchebags - "(I Am A) Believer (That This Song And Band Sucks)" (2017)One of if not the worst group to come out of the 2010's. The sad part is this isn't even close to their worst. All of their songs are so bland and soulless to me. The only song of theirs that I don't completely hate is "Demons", but even that isn't anything special. 174. Gabby Borett - "I Hope (I Get Singing Lessons Soon)" (2020)Actual artist is Gabby Barrett. I heard this one a lot back when I was hosting the M4B Radio Top 40 and I f*cking hated it. She sounds EXACTLY like Miley Cyrus which, coming from me, is not a compliment at all. She's a horrible singer and adding Charlie "Basic Boy" Puth to this just made it even worse. I included the original version here though since I heard that more than the Basic Boy version. However, there is another song from my run of the M4B Radio Top 40 that's much worse than this, and that is... 173. JP Suxe & Julia Michaels - "If The World Was Ending (I'd Learn To Sing)" (2020)THIS. WAS. SO. FREAKING. BAD. I don't think I have liked anything Julia Michaels has put her name on, and JP Saxe is an awful singer who sounds bored out of his mind on every song I've heard from him. Just a basic and soulless song that overstayed it's welcome and became a running joke on the top 40. 172. Foster The Indie Douches – “Pumped Up Kicks” (2011)Look, I know it's about a very serious topic, but you can do a song about a serious topic without it being so damn bad. The chorus is nothing special, and the verses, I don't know what effect was used on the singer's voice but it makes this song absolutely horrible. "Sniper" by Harry Chapin is a MUCH better song about a school shooting. This ain't it, but I did like "Sit Next To Me" from 2018. 171. Coldstop – “Viva La Vida” (2008)I know a lot of people on here love this song, but like mostly everything Coldplay has done, I just don't get it. It builds up to something so bland plus it got so freaking overplayed. Hell, it's STILL overplayed! 170. The closest *NSYNC will ever come to appearing on this list. 169. An iconic pop star who has been in the news a lot these past few years, featuring a mediocre try-hard Australian rapper. 168. I prefer sushi tbh. 167. The only appearance for the artist I stanned for when I first joined the boards. 166. Speaking of Harry Chapin's "Sniper", when I commented on it on the Book Club, I praised it for how emotional and heavy it was without being corny and over dramatic. I used this song as an example of something that's corny and over dramatic. 165. 2011 had a lot of repetitive ass songs, but I think this one takes the cake. 164. One of the oldest songs on the list, this one is from the 50's! 163. The ONE good thing I have to say about this song is that this is the song that ended "Amarillo" and it's reign of terror on the UK charts. 162. I'm still completely dumbfounded that this TikTok nobody has her own Funko Pop. 161. Remember Jawshii's friend Elf? He'd love this song.

I forgot Sam Harris existed - yeah, that was an off key anthem. Mehmories was just dull and lifeless and Adam Levine just couldn't sing on that one! A boring off key anthem is definitely worse than a normal off key anthem. "Lips Are Movin'" was meh, nothing special. "L.A. Woman" I will agree with you on, and mostly because it's just way too long and just drags out. That said, I don't mind Billy Idol's cover of it. I liked "7 Years", was a #1 on my chart. I also liked "Believer" and "I Hope". JP Suxe is awful, and that song just went nowhere. That said, it's fun to make fun of him as a meme. I didn't mind "Pumped Up Kicks" and liked "Viva La Vida". 170. Justin Timberlake - Sauce? 169. Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea - Pretty Girls? 167. Madonna - Bitch I'm Madonna or Medallion? 163. Akon - Lonely? 161. Beck - Wow?
