Holy gently caress, thanks for posting that! Haven't laughed that hard in a while. And no way would the algorithm have recommended it to me by itself. (Self-defeating much?)

So weird that I was thinking about Blurred Lines like two days ago and how absolutely godawful it was. I didn't even hear it again, it just dropped into my thoughts for no reason.

I agree with goons saying it's not just bad songs to talk about but embarrassing ones. The mention above of the NKOTB is really cutting to the heart. It's really just two categories:

"how cool/tough/amorous/important/in love I am"
or
"I'm an untalented hack"

The Lazy Song sucks but it also is a little tongue-in-cheek, and Bruno Mars is talented, so it's not really cringe. Just very bad.

Crush sucks because David Archuleta cannot loving sing, but it's also just a fluffy nothing, so it's only kind of cringe. (Ugh, I listened it again to make sure I had the right song name. It's like someone photocopied Jason Derulo too many times.)

I won't pretend this is the worst since I am sure someone with even less talent or greater conceit is out there, but I cannot believe this hasn't been mentioned yet:

Rude, by Magic!

Just absolutely godawful.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Strong memories of singing that song and doing that dance in kindergarten.

lol I'd never seen the clip before my entire exposure had been through a 1980s school PA system in a crowd of 5yos awkwardly following a teacher doing the moves.

Idk why people always poo poo on MacArthur Park so much, it's overwrought for sure and the imagery of the cake melting is funny but it's a perfectly serviceable song

I'll take a song about a cake in the rain over the 540 songs about girls that the Beatles and Beach boys wrote, along with almost every other band before and since. I don't particularly have anything against those bands, but c'mon, jfc, sing about something else.

I love MacArthur Park. It's fun to dunk on because it's from the vanity project of an actor but it's a Jimmy Webb song and it's great.

It's just such a narrow audience. Fine to hear a song about someone you know but I only know a couple of women from the 60s and they arent the ones from the songs.

Barbaranne is a pretty good song

And one they half-assed becaue Capitol was breathing down their neck about an album. The Beach Boys have a whole pile of dreck. Thankfully, little of it actually made a huge hit. Ten Little Indians from their first album did crack the top 50, though.

I haven't seen The Night Chicago Died listed yet

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.
