I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Uncle Kracker - Follow Me appeared in my head the other day. Just a boring rear end ballad by a kid rock adjacent shithead.

I'm with you, goon friend.

There are a LOT of possibilities, and I remember the first time I heard Wannabe, and being unable to understand how anyone found it good. That was my first experience with an embarrassing hit. But I've made peace with it. At least it's not boring.

But I think I'd have to give it to that loving Uncle Kracker song. God, this piece of poo poo is such a goddamned awful, plodding, bullshit song. It is the worst thing a song can be, which is incredibly boring.

This bland, inane waste of time. Christ, this song was everywhere. This whole thing was a complete waste of time for everyone involved, except, y'know.... $$$.

Two honourable mentions in the category of "why the gently caress did anyone bother with this?" are "Wasting my Time" by Default (what a bang-on name, there) and "Hey, Soul Sister" by "Train".

I didn't know Steven Seagal not only released an album, not only 'sang' in a very fake Jamaican accent, but started off his big 'hit' with the line "me want da poonani".

I wish this knowledge was still hidden from me.

I worked in a mall in college when this song was being played non stop. I only hate Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" from that period of my life more.


This song is especially egregious because it tricks you into thinking it's a good song before smacking you with kid rock

This is kind of great because he’s fully going for it. This is not like like the Clash or the Police or Blondie or whoever where they’re inserting ideas they borrowed heavily or outright stole from Jamaican music into their punk/new wave music, this is Stephen Seagal in a loving dreadlock wig spitting patois and drat near pulling off legit dancehall reggae, tasteless and ill advised as that is. lol Punanni.

I felt this way when Eminem hosed up the single decent Aerosmith song.

edit: Now I'm thinking about Revolution X... take Aerosmith's worst songs, compress them to fit on consoles, then put them on short endless loops

I ran this thread through a series of complex algorithms and have determined the most embarrassing "hit" to be posted thus far is Starship - We Built This City on Rock and Roll and the most embarrassing thing posted so far is the isolated David Lee Roth vocals from Running with the Devil.

I've listened to Temporary Secretary several times since learning about it in this thread, and honestly it loving rules. It reminded me in spirit of the weird rear end theremin song from the beginning of Bill and Ted 3, which was also kind of awesome.

Edit: Yeah my vote for most embarassing hit song is Kid Rock - All Summer Long. Trash music for trash people.

I said in another thread that "Video Games" by Lana Del Rey sucked rear end, and a goon immediately said it must be because I'm misogynistic.

So yeah, I nominate that and also "Hallelujah" by whichever poo poo-hipster is covering it this year.

I was in a basement cover band with these guys and we played a sissy punk version of this. Actually we played a sissy punk version of everything. Our guitarist/singer was aggressively mediocre. One mutual friend once said she's never seen someone try so hard and be so proud of being so average.
