Worst Top 40 Songs Ever

[GMRELIC]

Have you ever heard a top 40 hit and wondered how in the world can anyone like that, it is just terrible, and everytime you hear it you want to kick in your radio. I was just curious what some of you thought was the worst top 40 hits ever, The ones that made you mad or want to vomit when you heard them, I am listing 10 of those that had that effect on me, just wanting to know what ones had that affect on you.
1. Don't worry be happy by Bobby Mcferron
2. Rythem Nation by Janet Jackson
3. Acky Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyress
4. Rappers Delight by The SugarHill Gang
5. You are my Lady by Freddie Jackson
6. Rapture by Blondie
7. If you wanna be my Lover by The Spice Girls
8. Can't Touch This by MC Hammer
9. Light up my Life by Debbie Boone
10. Puttin on The Ritz by Taco

I know most of these are pretty old, but so am I, But these probably have that angering affect on me worse than any other top 40 hits.

1. Anything by Missy Elliot-- uugggh... hate it.
2. Anything that was new-wave in the 80's... it gives me chills.
3. Wanabe- Spice Girls
4. Barbie Girl- Aqua
5. Anything by Eminem
6. Alot of Hip Hop Stuff- the list would be way too long to mention.
7. That New Snoop Dogg song
8. Girls Just Want to have fun- Cyndi Lauper
9. Like A Virgin- Madonna
10.Everybody wants to rule the world- Tears for Fears

I've seen that top 40 list, and its kind of funny how most of those hits landed somewhere on the Billboard's top 40 at one point in time. Heck, some of them probably hit #1.

 

[Sketcher]

Last Kiss (remake) by Pearl Jam
I Want it That Way by the Backstreet Boys
Please Remember Me by Tim McGraw

I had to put up with those last two at a former job constantly - supermarket work - so I have a special hatred for them. As for Last Kiss, it was just so bad that I had to give it the top spot.

 

[MissRowboat]

Picture or whatever that song was with Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. UGHH I hated that song.

 

[superdave]

Picture...

Yeah that song stunk to high heaven.....ugggh.

Twisted Sketch,
Pearl Jam on the Top 40 worst???? I don't think so! I love "Last Kiss" infact, nothing PJ has put out has been herendous to me.

Terrible, man. Terrible. Have you heard the original? It is MUCH better.

 

[ILTDude]

I know a lot of people who like the origianal Last Kiss better than Pearl Jam's version, but I would hardly consider it one of the worst top 40 songs ever ( I like both versions about equal)

 

[Links234]

"Last Kiss" is a good song, but it depresses me.

"Turning Japanese." Um, guys, have you listened to the lyrics?
"Barbie Girl," Aqua. This song is fun (and filthy), but gets old after a while.

"My Girl Wants To Party All The Time" - Eddie Murphy
"Slow Motion" - Juvenille

i love last kiss from pearl jam.

ummmmmmm anything pop, like britney, spice girls

 

[Western Deity]

Any AC/DC, Queen, Metallica, NIN... the list goes on and on.

 

[ChrisWins]

This is so subjective as it's already been pointed out! Any song typed to this thread will be someone in this world's Top 10 Favorite song ever.

But i'll play along anyway and say - anything ever by 'N Sync or any boy band ever invented.

 

[Wroth]

Terrible, man. Terrible. Have you heard the original? It is MUCH better.

If the original singer could hit a note, I might give you that. However, Pearl Jam's version blows the original out of the water. Sorry.

 

[Roo6339]

i'd have to go with the ketchup song or who let the dogs out...

 

[Qyöt27]

1. Don't worry be happy by Bobby Mcferron
9. Light up my Life by Debbie Boone

These do annoy me quite I bit.


5. You are my Lady by Freddie Jackson

I don't think I've heard this one.


I don't really pay much attention to the Top 40 anymore, but as for pop culture, most of the mainstream pop or rap music that's been made in the last three years makes me want to bash my head against a wall.
