My Top 10 Most Hated Songs by MrEnter on DeviantArt

Apparently, what made him "sick" was blowing out his voice reeing at cartoons. Some things never change, I guess.Enter said:Well, if you haven't been following along on my Twitter, I'm taking a couple extra days of Christmas break because I've been recovering from illness. Part of that is self-inflicted. What's the first thing I tried to do on my break? Write and record the Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the 2010's list. And I hurt my voice doing that, because... the 2010's bad cartoons were really bad and so on. So, in the meantime I thought that I'd give you something a little bit special.
Awhile back, I started on my "Top 20 Favorite Songs" and only got halfway because in making that list, I found a couple of new favorite songs and it got really awkward. But, I thought that one of the funnest things to do while being sick is make a list of my least favorite songs of all time. This is the kinda stuff I listen to if I want to be angry, or baffled, or just get that mood you know.
Everyone has music that they don't like, and it's usually some of the most popular stuff out there. When Desposito came out and was the most popular song of the year, it was the most hated song in history. And I'm sure that could be said for the number one single of every single year. What I'm trying to say is that musical taste is subjective, and we're probably not gonna agree on all, or even any of these choices.
I mean, for one, none of the songs on this list are probably the biggest most infamous songs of all time. The ones that make worst list after worst list. Nah, these are just my least favorite/most hated, based on my own personal experiences. It should be really, really fun. Maybe. So, without further ado:
10. Owl City - All My Friends [link]
So, personally I actually like Owl City. He was probably one of the first artists that I was ever really "into." I know a lot of people didn't like Fireflies, some even go as far as saying its their least favorite song of all time. But, I dunno, the kind of electronica music is something that I really like. Although my favorite song from him is "This Isn't the End", possibly my favorite song of all time. However, that doesn't mean that I like everything from the guy. I firmly believe there is some things that he shouldn't do. Like sing country.
That's the crux of this one. "All My Friends" is a country genre campfire song from Owl City.
9. Daniel Powter - Bad Day [link]
Oh boy this song. Now... overplay kills some songs for a lot of people, but Jesus Christ, this song was beaten to hell back in 2006. For better or worse (worse), this song was a major part of my adolescence. And... I guess it's a nice sentiment and all... sort of. It's a bad day song for bad days, and it's supposed to cheer you up or something. But... uh... the lyrics are not good. Like... at all. Like if someone was saying/singing the things to me in this song, it would certain make a "bad day" worse.
In the first verse, the singer's all "And they tell me your blue sky's faded to gray." And then it ends with "And I don't need no carrying on." Get it? Because he wants to stop hearing about your bad day. How else could you interpret that lyric? Like... "I don't need no carrying on" is a line that's repeated throughout the song. Like what the hell? This song's not about you, dipshit.
"Stand in the line just to hit a new low/You're faking a smile with the coffee to go" You know what helps me deal with bad days? Being reminded of just about every single bad thing that happened on my bad day. It really makes the sunshine come out. "The camera don't lie" And apparently Daniel Powter is capturing your bad day on his camera to make you one of the first viral internet sensations.
"Well you need a blue sky holiday" You gonna buy me one, asshole? Or are you just gonna keep going on and on about how I need a holiday? Because that don't help me much. "The point is they laugh at what you say" Wow, I didn't even know people were laughing at me. Thanks for that.
"Sometimes the system goes on the blink, and the whole thing it turns out wrong/
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well, oh, that Strong/
And I'm not wrong"
Ah yes, everything in my life is a failure and I might even die. And its good to have affirmation that you're not wrong. So... please tell me. This is a song for a bad day. Is it meant to cure one, or give one? Because the latter seems far more plausible.
8. The Limousines - The Future - [link]
So, this song is all about how its okay that we're going to die and be forgotten. I think its supposed to help people like me, with thanatophobia. There's a problem with that. Have you ever seen that meme/comic about the dog in the burning building? You know, the one where he's sitting and smiling, going "this is fine." This is the song equivalent of that.
"There's nothing we can say that people won't forget someday
There's nothing we can do that matters
And that's okay"
You wanna... tell me why that's okay? Like... any reason at all? Oh, you've had your house repossessed, you lost your job, got your car stolen, and had your limbs amputated? Well, don't worry, that's okay. Like, if you have any remote fear of death... do not listen to this song. And especially don't watch the video. If you got to listen to it, listen to... I dunno, this [link]. Beautiful album art, by the way, guys.
7. Enrique Igleseas - Tonight (I'm Fucking You) [link]
I... don't even know what to say about this one. This was another song that had a lot of... overplay back in the day, let's say. And yeah, a lot of the time it was the censored version, but I heard the uncensored version plenty of times. And back in the day, I was a lot... uh... more nervous around swears. I didn't like foul language, which might be a... surprise.
But... uh... this song is creepy. And it sounds like a threat. Like... one you're going to jail for. Also, this is just a minor nitpick but it sounds like the leading instrument in this song is a zipper.
6. Fergie - London Bridge [link]
As far as music goes, this is just about the worst song in existence. It's a complete mess, and it was... really popular over a decade ago. Also, if you want to sound tough, don't write a song with the same title as a nursery rhyme.
5. Simple Plan - Welcome to My Life [link]
I don't have a teenage kid, but I have a feeling that listening to this song is exactly like having a teenage kid. It is... the most stereotypical teenage thing in the world. "You've never had to work for everything. I'm the only one with pain, you don't know what it's like." I mean, it often asks the question "Do you know what it's like..." and the answer is... often yes, and then it ends with "no, you don't know what it's like."
"No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright"
Considering I've been like suicidally depressed, this song really pisses me off.
"No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back"
You know, except former friends and family. Like... I don't know what to say about this. I mean, I'd be more pissed about it if it didn't sound like a fourteen year old whining after dealing with their first break up. The only thing that saves it is that you can't take it seriously, which is uh... not what I think they were going for.
4. John Legend - Baby It's Cold Outside ft. Kelly Clarkson [link]
When I heard that there was a PC version of Baby It's Cold Outside, I was like... so what? They've been complaining about that song for years. It's not surprising. Then I listened to the song, and uh... it is one of the most hilariously baffling pieces of shit that I've ever heard. I mean, first of all it's incredibly slow and plodding and tedious to just listen to as music. But uh... let's see some of those lyrics.
"(your driver, his name is Murray)" One of the best songwriters of our time, ladies and gentlemen. Your driver, his name is Murray. Really brings in the Christmas spirit.
"If I have one more drink? (It's your body and your choice)" Yeah... that's how you know we're woke. Perhaps it's... a bad idea to use the "your body and your choice" phrase in a line about drinking. It kinda makes it sound like saying "it's your body and your choice" to drink while pregnant. In fact, this whole song can sound like John Legend is trying to get rid of his side girlfriend before his wife gets home.
"I really can't stay
(I understand, baby)"
Great... stop singing and go.
"So nice and warm (but you better go before it storms)" In the original version, it was really creepy with lines like "say, what's in this drink." In this version though... it's not that there's no chemistry. It sounds like the girl is like a vagrant that he's trying to get out of his house by any means necessary and she's desperate to stay.
"At least there will be plenty implied (oh, let their mind do this, and-)" Uh.... isn't that why you rewrote the song? So there would be... nothing implied?
My god, this is the most baffling piece of shit I've ever heard.
3. The Police - Mother [link]
Uh... what? I... uh... I have no words for this one. It is... one of the most unpleasant things that I've ever heard. It sounds like a deranged nightmare circus.
2. Beyonce & R. Kelly - If I Were a Boy (Remix) [link]
I never really liked the original "If I were a Boy" by Beyonce. Let's just say that the lyrics were... uh a little bit sexist.
"Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they'd stick up for me"
Yes, as we all know, no boy in history has ever been confronted for cheating. Like, ever. In history. It's something that doesn't happen. I'd refute all of the little pieces of misinformation in this song, but someone has beat me to the punch. One guy has decided to stick up for all guys everywhere. R. Kelly, who uh... what? R. Kelly is the guy who got arrested for peeing on a 15 year old girl.
Normally, I try not to let my opinions of an artist, or even their actions, dictate my feelings towards the actual work, but... uh... this is kinda one of the most "uh..." things that I've ever heard. It needs to be heard to be believed.
"If you were a boy
Then, girl, you'd understand
You need to stop listenin' to your friends"
Okay... the first thing that R. Kelly says sounds abusive as shit. Yeah... "stop listening to your friends"... uh... just uh...
"Love, respect, and trust your man" Once again, R. Kelly is singing this.
"So I go to clubs with the guys
And sometimes flirt with the girls
I should be able to roll out, as long as I'm comin' home to you"
And he's trying to justify cheating. Like... what?
"But you're not a boy
So you don't have a clue
How I work and pay the bills
How everything I do is for you"
Including going to jail... for peeing on someone who was under aged? You know, that sounds like another abusive shit line. "I'm only a evil sociopath sex pervert... for you. And the person I peed on."
If you want to have an uncomfortable time... listen to this song. It's uh.... uh....
1. John Cage - 4' 33" [link]
If you don't know, John Cage's 4' 33" is four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. What performers are supposed to do is basically sit there while it plays. This is a good example of why I hate the postmodernist "anything is art" shit. It's supposed to be all deep and meaningful as people are taken in by the symphony of the nature surrounding the performer.
That's what we call it in the art world. In the art world we call it "Daring." And anyone complaining about it justifies it, because it has created a reaction as all art should do. In the real world, we call this lazy, pretentious, and hackneyed. It's amazing how terrible this could be because it doesn't do anything. Any influence pieces like this has are bad.
And a lot of people complained that I don't get what postmodernism is. I know exactly what it is, although it has different definitions depending on whether we're talking about the art movement or the philosophy. Postmodernism, at its best, promotes skepticism. More often than not, it denies it. For example, the postmodernist would believe that John Cage's 4'33" is not just a song, but art, without question or skepticism.
The sad truth of the matter is that postmodernism... kind of kills itself, when you apply postmodernism to itself. Postmodernism rejects the idea that we can ever have reliable knowledge, and at its worst, states that objective reality doesn't exist. All we have is subject experiences. So... in my mind, postmodernism is pretentious bullshit that's done nothing but harm every medium of art that its touched, and it'd be just as accurate as any definition supportive of postmodernism, because according to postmodernism it is impossible to come up with an objective definition of anything, let alone postmodernism.
Although I think we're getting into post-postmodernism or something.
