Worst Songs of ALL Time
Jul 22nd, 2008 by The Piler
Blender.com released a list comprising of the 50 worst songs of all time. It’s pretty hard to make a list like this that will make everyone happy. We know from experience. I have some issues with a few on the list, as well as some they left off. “Make Em Say Uhh” by Master P checks in at 36. Not that I think that it’s a great song, but it sure is fun to sing. It also has fun memories from my glory days at Wrighstville Beach. One of our boys took down some slut and we were singing this song at her all night. Apparently (I was very black), we left voicemail messages screaming the chorous and calling her a slut on her cell phone all night long. When she showed up the next day to drop my buddy off, we were sitting on the porch getting ready to go the beach and laid into a “Make Em Say UUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH” and she immediately broke into tears. Fun times. A song that brought so much entertainment to my life can hardly be one of the 50 worst songs of all time. Did I mention there is no Hanson on this list? Um Bop, seriously? “Two Princes” by the Spin Doctors at 21. The Spin Doctors were badass when I was in 6th grade. They’re still bad ass now. Sort of. Where’s the “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba? My cousin liked that song as 6 year old and played it on repeat for week one year during our family reunion. Well, he played until I picked up his cd player and threw it over the front porch and it shattered into little pieces. During a dark period in American pop-culture during the fall of 1997, Sugar Ray, followed by Smash Mouth, followed by Chumbawamba sat atop the Billboard Top 100 list for Modern Rock. There are some less that stellar songs on here, but give me just about anything over that tragic ‘97 era. So Brahs and Fembrahs, what else is missing?
I agree with the Spin Doctors call. I lot of misplaced love happened because of that song. Two that come to mind right now are “Truly, Madly, Deeply” by Savage Garden and “Cha Cha Slide” by Mr. C the Slide Man. “Make em Say Uhh” kicked the Dirty South into high gear. You are correct sir, yes.
Of all the shitty music made over the history of the world, there is no reason a Beatles track should be anywhere near this list.
Is “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” a great song? Not really, but there are thousands of worse songs out there … beginning with the entire David Hasselhoff catelog.
Who Let the Dogs Out….Wooof….Wooof!
This has to be Top 5. Any song that just has a chorus that blows and is on repeat for 3.5 minutes is awful. So I guess every Destiny’s Child song would go in the same category.
The Macarena by Los Del Rio anybody? It’s a crappy song AND a crappy dance…
Anything by Ace of Base - anyone jamming their car speakers to an Ace of Base song was a tool (and there were plenty of those guys…)
“shine” by trey anastasio. total crap.
I’m cool with most of what is on the list, but I’m very much not down with all the crap that has been omitted. “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is worse than every American Idol song ever recorded? “The Sound of Silence” is worse than “The Pina Colada Song”? What about some of that hair band crap from the 80’s? There’s not a single worse song from Poison, Ratt, and Cinderella (combined) than “The End”?
Brahkowski, serious error in judgment criticizing the ‘hoff. Perhaps you haven’t seen this.

@Sam — my God, that was worse than being Rick-rolled. What the hell was that garbage? Perhaps the single funniest video I have ever seen….
BTW, I was at Amedeo’s last night and there was all kinds of crap that should have been on the “50 Worst” list: Cyndi Lauper, Chicago, Milli Vanilli, Bryan Adams….
Just horrendous. How the fuck can you put Right Said Fred as “not worse” than anything the Beatles did? He has one song.
By placing said song at 49 and the Beatles at 48 — even if it’s the single worst Beatles song of all time — you are still saying, in some sort of weird way, that RSF is better than the Beatles.
I know, it’s a weird level of shitty, but still. Uncool.
Also, Blender: fix your fucking loose bold tag, guys.
Anything by Queen and Elton John should make up a lot of the list. I don’t care that Freddie Mercury & Sir Elton are gay. Their music is just so fucking horrible it makes me want to burn my head off.
Almost all the tunes listed were vastly popular (at least for a while) and make a lot of bucks in the process. You remind me of the academy awards, in that you probably like no name or unheard of bands or artists, and feel good about yourself while looking down your nose at the “comon herd”. stfu.
