10 Most God Awful Songs You’ve Ever Heard

10. Jeremih – Birthday Sex

Not only can this guy not sing but the lyrics are just terrible. If he had any talent at all, the song wouldn’t need the constant auto-tune. It isn’t just that the song is a blatant song about sex, I’m all for that when it is done well, but this song just falls flat across the board. Can you believe this track made it to number 1 on the billboard charts? Who is buying this nonsense?

9. Donovan – Mellow Yellow

Now, maybe I’m wrong, but this song has to be one of the most boring and completely dull songs ever written. It was rumored to be about hallucinogenic drugs, but that has been debunked. I’m not sure what the real motivation was behind this song but musically it falls so flat and comes off as a very bad “I Wish I Was The Beatles” song. In fact, most people think it is a Beatles song but they are sad and very dim witted people indeed.

8. Hanson – Mmmbop

I know its wrong to hate on kids who are doing something they love, and hey, they wrote the song themselves, but really, why did anybody ever listen to this? It is nonsense. People will buy anything that is simple and repetitive, I guess.

7. Lil Wayne – Fireman

Look, I like Hip Hop when it is done well but what the fuck is this? I’ve heard people say that Lil’ Wayne’s beats bang, they don’t. I’ve never heard people claim he can flow and that is simply because he can’t. At least the song isn’t full of Auto Tune bullshit. Bleh.

6. George Clinton – Atomic Dog

Now, I have to admit, I don’t know why this song was ever popular. It goes back to people will like anything that is repetitive and simple. What really bugs me about this song is that I actually like it. I don’t know why but I do. I’ve heard it in a million places and when I hear it, I don’t go “oh god, not Atomic Dog.” No. I smile and I bob my head and I shake my butt. Okay, I don’t really shake my butt. You know what drives me nuts though is the “futuristic bow wow” at the end. What the eff is that? And who ever heard of a pop song being ten freaking minutes long?  The one good thing this song did was it influenced almost every hip hop artist ever. Wait…

5. Nelly and Tim Mcgraw – Over and Over Again

When you take two very opposite genres of music and shove them together in the preferred genre of one of the musicians, you are going to get a pretty horrible sound. Tim Mcgraw sounds completely bored out of his skull on this track and is only featured briefly. That’s the good news. There is absolutely no redeeming qualities of this song. None.

4. Blind Melon – No Rain

When I hear No Rain, I am reminded of my teenage years. Maybe, back in the 90s, being bored was the hip thing. I don’t remember. This song leaves me completely flat and feeling like I’ve been staring at a wall. I love the video, though. Weird.

3. Lady Antebellum – Need You Now

I don’t care what anybody says Drunk Dialing is not romantic. There should not be sentimental songs about calling your ex in the middle of the night because you are drunk. This song is disturbing and shows a distinct and disturbing obsession on behalf of the lyricist. 

2. The Vapors – Turning Japanese

I know it was made in a different time but I can not accept a racially inappropriate slang term for masturbating, and we certainly don’t need songs about it. Seriously.

1. Right Said Fred – Don’t Talk Just Kiss

And you thought I’m Too Sexy was bad… There aren’t enough words.
