Not songs you hate, this thread is for posting your favourite terrible song. Songs you like but which you either acknowledge are actually terrible or know that most people don't like. I'll start with the one I posted about in that other thread linked above: Sk8er Boi Right from the opening lines you know that this song is going to be dumb:
She was a girl Can I make it any more obvious? He was a punk She did ballet What more can I say?
She'd never tell Secretly she wanted him as well Now we jump ahead a bit to the best part.
She sits at home Feeding the baby, she's all alone But the best thing about this imaginary future is that, in it, sk8er boi still isn't over the girl who wouldn't go out with him in highschool!
Singing the song we wrote About a girl you used to know  So anyway, what bad songs do you like and why?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGvsR9nfgWc I know about this thanks to Todd in the Shadows mentioning it in one of his videos. "You're being a penis....colada, that is". It works in a weird sort of way. e: The entirety of Ringo Starr's 1977 foray into disco, Ringo the 4th. There are several songs where Ringo sounds sloshed. It's not a great album at all but I have a "so bad it's good" fascination with it. F_Shit_Fitzgerald has a new favorite as of 21:11 on Jul 29, 2023 |

I don't think that explains anything? I know what a pina colada is. I know that song. It doesn't make sense of the line in U Hate It.

Tiggum posted:This is bad, but fascinating. I don't want to listen to it ever again, but I would like to hear the author's thoughts. What was the intent? Were people supposed to like this, or is it intentionally bad as some kind of statement? What does "peenyis colada" mean? What are we supposed to understand from that phrase? Both the pronunciation and the combination of words seem deliberately meaningless, but why? I had to look at the Wikipedia page to refresh my memory. Liz Phair wanted to move away from the alt-pop stuff she had been doing in the '90s, so she apparently went to the wall with her managers and record company to release an album (Funstyle) of more experimental stuff. Someone evidently didn't like her work and this song was dedicated to that person. Personally, I think "peenyis colada" is hilariously stupid, but maybe that's just my peculiar sense of humor. e: I also like Disco Duck, even though it's a loving stupid song.

When the song first came out, people deliberately mispronounced it that way. That's all I got. Mister Kingdom has a new favorite as of 14:16 on Jul 31, 2023 |

Starship's We Built This City. The lyrics are terrible: "Marconi plays the mamb[a][/b]." It is far, far from being the worst #1 ever. Silver Convention's "Get Up and Boogie." It's a joy. The entire lyrics are "Get up and boogie" and "That's right." Perhaps my favorite disco song because the studio version is infectiously happy. Paper Lace's "The Night Chicago Died." Maybe I'm impressed with the sheer stupidy of it.

"Obviously" by McFly is the dumbest, sappiest song of all time, and I love it so much. The lyrics are poo poo and it is the epitome of stereotypical boy band nonsense, but I like it enough for it to be on my "songs of all genres that are my jam" Spotify playlist AND my "pleasures that I'm not guilty about" one, because I never don't want to hear it. The sappy rear end chorus:quote:'Cause obviously,  "I Will Come to You" by Hanson was a song I already liked, but it's also the first song I ever sang for karaoke, so it also has a special place in my heart.  Just vapid cheesy saccharine corniness with lyrics so bad I can't even think of a highlight. They're all just bleh. edit: I just want to also add that this thread title is very misleading. edit2: I will also quote myself here, from the Songs You Hate thread YeahTubaMike posted:I don't know why I like "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons -- it's catchy, has a fun tune kind of reminiscent of (or stolen from, who knows) "Send My Love (To Your Lover) " by Adele which I also like, I just like it, I don't know.

Why is it so much easier to explain why I DON'T like a song?

Tiggum posted:Suggest a better one. I don't know, it's just that the "admire from a distance" feels kind of...like you're finding the goodness in terrible songs on an objective level, sort of? Like, appreciating the talent of the performers or the production quality or something. It's entirely possible that my reading comprehension is just poo poo. But yeah, without saying "guilty pleasure" outright, maybe I'd have named it something like "Songs you know are awful but love anyway"? Really it's the "admire from a distance" part that's the vaguest part.
