Songs that are good but bad

You might have liked them for a while. You might even have loved them. But even good songs when overplayed start to get on your nerves a bit. Now you hate them and so do millions of other people.

I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) - Meat Loaf

We're talking about 12 minutes of song in which the chorus is repeated about three million times. In fact, two minutes into the song, you start to think about other things, but by the fifth minute, those things you're thinking about have taken their own storyline. Well, there's still more than half a song left.

Baby - Justin Bieber ft. Ludacris

Justin Bieber may not be a legendary artist, but it's fair to say that his first hit song was a powerful and haunting one. However it is often the first song that comes to many people's minds when they are asked about a song they hate.

Friday - Rebecca Black

An inexplicable phenomenon, how did this giggly young woman, whose best-known song was a cute teenager's anthem, end up being more hated than a song composed by Satan?

Mambo Nº 5 - Lou Bega

One of the catchiest songs in history and one of the most memorable. However, in the modern world, there is no place for a man dressed like that bragging about his romantic conquests.

La Macarena - Los Del Río

'La Macarena' has an added problem, in addition to the fact that listening to it a million times is tiring, but then you have the obligatory dance moves that go with the song. It's difficult to enjoy this song sober.

Baby Shark - Pinkfong

It's a nice, catchy song that people with children have listened to on loop over and over again, as if it were some kind of medieval torture. There are videos on Youtube in which the song is looped for 10 hours. Welcome to Hell.

Gangnam Style - PSY

A global phenomenon and another silly dance to go with it. It happened with PSY and with his most famous song, 'Gangnam Style'. Very catchy, very silly and in the end very annoying.

Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO

The song was excessive but catchy. Redfoo and Sky Blu were excessive but funny. LMFAO were played a lot, and talked about  a lot. All over the place. They came on strong and the fall out was tremendous.

 

You're Beautiful - James Blunt

The ballad had everything to succeed and it did. James Blunt is one of the nicest guys in the industry... but his song was played several million times more than a human being could bear and ended up getting on our nerves.

Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus

If we asked an ordinary person who knows Billy Ray Cyrus,aside from being Hannah Montana's father, most wouldn't know. But we do. This song was everywhere and so was he. I think it's safe to say who has the talent in this family.

Cotton Eye Joe - Rednex

Mixing techno with bluegrass was a good idea, and the song by Rednex was a good, flashy, but so repetitive that it was tiring... and the banjos and violins didn't help with their stridency either.

John Lennon - Imagine

Let's be honest, 'Imagine' may be considered a masterpiece, and one of the most influential songs in history, but... it's a downer. In all honesty, it's hard to finish listening to it. Is it or isn't it?

 

With or Without You - U2

It is the song we associate with Ross and Rachel, the one that was played at millions of weddings in the 90s and the romantic song par excellence, until it wasn't. If Rocío Jurado said that her love wore out from using it so much, the same thing happened with this song - so much so that even Cupid himself ended up disliking it.

 

Viva la Vida - Coldplay

'Viva la Vida' took the world by storm in its beginnings and became a 'feeling good anthem', but it did so to the point of exhaustion and ended up being overplayed. When did you last listen to this song? I rest my case, your honour.

Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen

She took over from Justin Bieber. On the plus side, the song was a hit, she was a sweetheart (and still is) and she took it by storm. On the downside, she couldn't control this snowball of a song and 'Call Me Maybe' ended up being hell for many people.

Yellow Submarine - The Beatles

'Yellow Submarine' is like your favourite cake. You love it. You'd eat it every day, and then one day when you're  eating it you realise, maybe it wasn't such a good idea. Maybe this cake isn't so good after all.

 

Who Let The Dogs Out - Baha Men

Does anyone like it when every 5 seconds of the song, the band starts barking? Even children's songs about dogs don't have that much barking. How much is that doggy in the window? I don't care. In the end, even dog lovers wanted to put a muzzle on this song.

I'm a Gummy Bear (The Gummy Bear Song) - Gummibär

It's a song as catchy as it is inexplicable. Yes, it's aimed at young audiences, but the sharpening of the vocals to give it a more childish edge only makes it more likely to be hated by some.

Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke feat. T.I. & Pharrell Williams

Is it necessary to explain why the world ended up hating this song and its author?

 

Axel F. - Crazy Frog

On the one hand, the bass of 'Axel F.' is mind-blowing and could save this track. On the other hand, the frog, and the sounds it emits, make you want to tear your ears off.

Party in the U.S.A. - Miley Cyrus

It's hard to believe that today's Miley Cyrus, an icon on every level, would release such a typical, clichéd song. Certainly, this step was part of her maturation process, but the toll she paid was so high that this 'Party in the USA' will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Aserejé - The Ketchup song

Another song that requires little explanation. It had its moment of grace, which shouldn't have lasted more than a couple of weeks, but the joke went on for months and some people even stopped using ketchup in protest. You can't blame them.

 

What Does The Fox Say - Ylvis

And finally, a song by D-Billion, so much onomatopoeia, so much strident sound and so much disguise that it sounds like something out of a children's band. The bad thing? It's very catchy. Veeery catchy.
