What's the worst song you've ever heard?

3Oh!3 had some hits a few years ago with some absolute horseshit, this was the worst one:


fortunately the twiddly synth intro gives you plenty of time to change over to another station if it comes on the radio

and this is a strong contender for the single most excruciating thing I've ever heard:

 
Strictly speaking in terms of more popular songs, I cannot stand the indie horseshit Some Nights. There isn't a single thing about it that isn't annoying to me. The guy's voice, the weird echoy parts, the lyrics, how much it got played on the radio...ugh. I hate most songs I've heard from Fun. but this takes the cake, I think.

The fucking autotune in that always makes me laugh though.

This has probably been posted already but...


It's just...grating. In a bad way.

I get teased constantly about my hatred of Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky.'

What is so bad about it is that it begins well, with a promising retro beat, kind of classic. I expected something worth listening to when I first heard it. But the crappy mindless chorus 'We're up all night to get lucky! We're up all night to get lucky!' repeated ad nauseum is such a disappointment.

Not posting a video because everyone on earth has heard the stupid thing nonstop for 2 or more years.

Aside from Simple Plan's "Untitled" (which was already posted), this is probably the worst song I hear at work:


So sappy, yet so dull at the same time.

You know what, disregard that post. I now only find that mediocre. The worst song I now hear at work is this shit:

Fall Out Boy - "Centuries"

I'd rather listen to Christian and the Hedgehog Boys.

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw "the worst song you've ever heard". Seriously, this sounds like several awful songs being played slightly off key and at the wrong speeds, all at once. With the Suzanne Vega sample mashed into the middle of it. I don't tend to listen to the popular music radio stations and I don't have a tv, so I hear new stuff either in my friend's cars or on the radio at work. I'm constantly shocked at how appallingly bad the most popular things are. I never thought some of the worst of 80s/90s stuff I grew up with could ever be matched, but even Billy Squire seems better than "fallout boy"

.... gonna throw in "Lucky" by Britney Spears. Everything about it is so annoying--- her bleating, rattly sheep voice, the whining about how she has everything in the world but it's just not good enough...I hate Britney Spears. Her thick neck, weird forehead, retard ears are all rather off-putting too, but that has nothing to do with the music.

This is definitely up there as one of the worst-songs I've heard recently. Does it beat last years "Brush your Teeth" song? Not sure, not going to listen to compare.

This excessively polished turd is one amusingly epic, terrible, homoerotic love song, but it's worth a watch at least once because the video is goddamn hilarious. Dr. Dre, maimed to a vegetative state from a motorcycle accident, can only be revived to a strength stronger than his previous form by the powerful outpouring of heartcries from his one true love and bitchboy, Eminem, who has been summoned by an apparition watching over Dre in the hospital.

This (and any lady gaga crap) is like the anthem of the "trying too hard" generation... Remember how there was always that one kid in high school who one week was goth, then a hippie, then a born-again, this and that and whatever, and it was never just a natural evolution of personal interests or style, it was this in your face "RECOGNIZE ME AS THIS THING!! THESE LABELS DESCRIBE ME!!" combined with the "i'm such a non-conformist, fuck your labels." thing... This is all of that, times a million. Anything remotely cute or interesting about it is completely overshadowed by just how excessively hard she seems to be trying to be weird. The song is terrible, the weird baby clothes are gross (WHAT is it with younger kids now and this like...fixation with baby stuff? not just "cute" or "kawaii" but straight up frills and baby bonnets and shit?)

Honorable mention: Anything by Fallout Boy or Jimmy Eat World. I cannot believe how popular this music is, it literally makes absolutely no sense to me how this type of sound got such an intense following. It's awful.
