Not sure if it even qualifies as a song but it cracks me up for some reason even though it isn't that funny.

The first two both started as a way to torture my cousin.
He works for me on occasion and it's very easy to get songs stuck in his head.
So of course I would sing the most annoying songs possible to him repeatedly then just sit back and enjoy hearing him hum them to himself for the rest of the day, interspersed with cursing me for getting them into his head. Of course the plan has backfired long term as I now enjoy these ****ty songs. Proven by the fact that I've listened to them all the way through (maybe twice) while writing this post.




This one got stuck in MY head while working in various Macys stores around California this past year. I would hear this song every single day, multiple times. Can't count how many times I caught myself singing it to myself throughout the day.

Lot of weird takes here. Like, there are a lot of songs that I love that people don't like, but I'm not embarrassed about it. Examples might be:

- Party in the USA
- One Night in Bankok
- Sk8r Boi

There are songs that I feel like should be embarrassing for me, but they're not:
- We Built This City
- Ice Ice Baby
- Barbie Girl

The two that I can think of that actually bring some level of embarrassment while I rock out:
(Already mentioned):

This!

I'm not proud, but, I dance like a fool anytime Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke comes on. I *dare* you to listen without singing the "hey, hey, hey!" part.

That's great. Hadn't seen it. I had heard the Kanye porno story tho, but not the drake feud or hoops game.

Hers a pre-die antwoord video I like.



It's really catchy and I lol at the dippy part. It's really nothing like die antwoord.

Europe - "The Final Countdown"

I'm even embarrassed to post it.

Is Africa by Toto ****ty enough to qualify?

Toto was pretty good for 80s pop.

Another uninspired, lazy Drake release that I can't get outta my Head.

WTF? Africa is an amazing song. This isn't a thread about terrible videos.

It’s interesting how subjective this discussion always is. I find Breakfast at Tiffany’s to be about a hundred times better than We Built This City.

Lol Africa is a great song. Love the harmonies in the chorus.

Looks like I'm going to need to make a few rulings here.

Party in the USA - this is an excellent example.
Sk8r Boi - I don't know what this is and I'm not going to find out, must be trash based on the name alone.
We Built This City - this song is incredible and you should be proud to belt it out.
Ice Ice Baby - solid thread candidate.
Barbie Girl - horrible candidate, this song is pure gas.
Breakfast at Tiffany's - excellent choice, this song is utter vomit.
Europe - "The Final Countdown" - GOAT song, fu.
Africa by Toto - superb song, just played it on youtube. gtfo.



DOGS - please report to the re-education camp by 0900 tomorrow for reconditioning. None of this is subjective.

Other songs that are ineligible for this thread:






If anyone actually liked these songs, they would be good examples:

You’re just demonstrating the proof of my point. What are you, an euterpean fascist in disguise?

Hey hey folks, I'm saying I like Africa. I guess its better regarded than I thought.

had never heard it before. now I cant stop watching the video.

half these songs are awesome. bangles. proclaimers, paul simon, total eclipse are all great.

that rich girls song is atrocious tho. a

and wtf at the llama song with ron jeremy, tho I think I might listen to it a lot more.

Maybe these two songs might actually be awesome(?), bc Weird Al kicks all sorts of ass, but I thought the originals sucked.
Im mostly just embarrassed to admit I still know all the lyrics to them



ok the original was actually pretty good for that one

+ 1

The Paul Simon tune, Africa, and the Proclaimers are all perfectly reasonable songs.

Additional thread nominations from me are Please Mister Please by Olivia Newton John and Sexy Eyes by Dr. Hook.

Africa is closer to the GOAT song than a song you should be embarrassed about liking.

Toto is awesome. Seen them in concert twice!

My Humps just may be the worst song in recorded history.
