1. Watch me Burn- Rihanna & Eminem (way to promote domestic violence, I'm sure anyone who has actually had bad skin burns would agree that they didn't "like the way it hurt." The stupidity of pop songs reigns!)
2. I wanna be a Billionaire- Travie McCoy
3. Dear Mr President- Pink Yes, by this stage most people didn't like Bush in office but this song is just a rave of depressing stories that no one person could change, no matter how much power they had.
4. Anything by Taylor Swift.
5. Kid Rock- All Summer Long. He really shows of his lack of talent by mashing two existing songs together. Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon and Sweet Home Alabama by Lyndard Skynard. Just in case you were wondering, he had eight songwriters to put this masterpiece together...
6. I'm so horny- Ashanti (enough said)
7. Bad Day- Daniel Powter. Not a terrible song until they played it 2789358790534894322678943027892 times on the radio in 1 month.
8. Cotton Eye Joe- Rednex
9. It wasn't me- Shaggy. All kinds of wrong all in one song.
10. Do you really want to hurt me?- Culture Club
Yes, Boy George I do really want to hurt you.
11. Tik Tok- Ke$ha. Aside from my immediate disdain of this girl just for putting a dollar sign in her name, she then goes on to title her song as such and produce a lyrical masterpiece about her getting drunk and being broke. Maybe, just maybe you wouldn't be so broke if you weren't always so drunk. Also...have you seen a picture of Mick Jagger this century?
12. Black Eyed Peas- After having two albums of awesomeness and diversity in their music, it all hit the fan with their latest offering. I gotta feeling, Boom boom pow, My humps...? What happened?
13. Apologize- One Republic and Timbaland. Massacred and splattered on radio stations nationwide, not to mention peddling an out of tune live show on So you think you can dance. Not good- it's too late to apologise for this song.
14. Over and Over- Nelly and Tim McGraw. Hip hop and country singer- immediate fail. We already have Kid Rock.
15. I know you want me- Pitbull. If you haven't heard this song yet, the lyrics are in the title.
16. DJ's got us Fallin' in Love Again- Usher.
17. art vs science-parlez vous francais. You aren't French, you can't speak French so why write a song in French?
hmmm most of these I agree with but 'parlez vous francais' is a fantastic song!!! have you seen the video clip - genius!!!
ReplyDelete...And not-so-secretly I quite Taylor Swift when in the mood :D
But a lot of okay or even great songs can be destroyed by overplay...
Back in Rach's office ???? :D :D
Hilarious list!! Due to not being up to date on modern pop music, I have only heard 5 of these songs, but evidently I'm not missing anything except a good laugh!!!
ReplyDeleteI quite like Taylor Swift though... and think the Kid Rock song is ok even though I find its rip-off-ness ridiculous. Tim McGraw teamed up with a hip hop singer?? Gah!! Delle showed me the PVF clip and I liked it too, but the song itself I could happily never hear again! :P
Thanks for reminding me why I don't listen to pop radio!
Well someone has to stick up for Shaggy! And its gonna be me! lol! And without the Black eyed peas I would have a few less songs to work out to - You turn on "pump it" or "lets get it started" - you will have a great start to your run! ...
