What’s your pick for the worst song oat? I’ll start
picking onision is cheating
Happy Ending by Hopsin
You can just say Hopsin
idk man, his xxl freestyle from back in the day slaps imo
Bro didn't get a good massage 😞
Fuuuuck i forgot about that one 😂
I used to love this guy no idea why. Can’t even remember his stuff anymore
I wasn't familiar with Jazmin Bean or this song so I just listened to it. It's not perfect but calling it the worst song of all time??? Really??? There are some good things about it and even if there weren't, I could name so many that are worse.
Yeah, I really did not want this to be the attention Jazmin got on this sub lmao
As somebody with WORLDWIDE TORTURE tattooed across his hands (their first album), OP's opinion is incorrect. They're not the greatest musician to ever walk the earth and i dont even like this song, but they're fun and I like the way (most) of their music sounds.
Idk if theyre even in my top 10 tbh but no song they've ever made was half as bad as most of the songs in this thread
It’s an opinion it cannot be incorrect lol
Yes they can if u are ever unsure just ask me what to think
Not a massive Jazmin Bean fan, but I ended up going to her concert with a friend and it was easily one of the best concerts I’ve been to, tied with Caroline Polachek and Young Nudy. This song is definitely not my favorite by her, but it’s listenable at the very least. To be considered worst song of all time, you gotta be at least “Dance Monkey” level bad.
I will never stop hating dance monkey
This is the one true answer for me. The voice is soooooo incredibly grating and the beat is not even danceable or interesting in the slightest. I'm baffled as to how it was so popular.
Heard it once on the speakers of a Taco Bell while taking a shit, worst shit of my LIFE
"Dance Monkey is so bad that I shat myself"
Annoying as fuck song, the premiss of the song is kinda ok, but every ideia is perfect on its creator's head.
I’m gonna be so honest, I wanted to rip my ears off the first time I heard that song. But it genuinely grew on me just a little bit.
I wouldn’t say I enjoy it, but it’s not as awful as I remember there’s parts that I actually kinda like
I started typing “‘i will never stop hating’ by dance monkey” in Spotify and then I realized this was just a sentence
I will never stop hating dance monkey could be a midwest emo song
brother by ronnie radkie (spelling?) is genuinely the most vile thing ive ever heard in my entire life. like its not corny like the other songs ive seen so far and its not even entertaining, its just rancid. terrible writing and performances
MY LIFE IS LIKE A VIDEO GAME
TRYING HARD TO BEAT THE STAGE
Trying hard to save the girl
That song is so terrible that it almost wraps around to being good. So bad but I just can't get "ITS JUST A GAME, THAT WE PLAY, AND FOR HEVEANS SAKE!" out of my head.
I LOST MY WAY AGGAAAIIIIINNN
it’s wild to me that i loved that mixtape in high school… i had forgotten about it but Brad’s video reminded me of its existence and wow… it’s bad
dude i get it. game over was unironically one of my favorite songs in middle school 💀
I LOST MY WAY AGAAAAAINNNNN
Yeah it’s kind of a work of comedic genius, it’s so bad, haha.
I LOSST MY WAYYY AGAAAIIINNNNNN
The Kidz Bop version of 7 Rings.
MAKE BELIEVES REBORN
no the Ariana one not the Sonic one
No amount of unlistenable music can prepare you for the malicious auditory afterbirth that is Earth by Lil Dicky.
This is the answer. There's nothing about this song that is not absolutely atrocious. The whole concept is awful. A group of like 30 disgustingly rich artists (that have nothing in common artistically) gather to showcase how much they care about environment, climate change etc. (Omg they're such good people!!). Main melody is at the level of nursery rhymes. Singing is below average. Lyrics try so hard to be funny but in reality they are vomit inducing. There are lines about anus, buttholes, cow's tits, dicks, cum
There's just nothing in this song. No creativity, no good ideas, no good writing, no good melody, no good jokes. Nothing. And It's 7 minutes long. And they got Kevin Hart just to say 'Im Kanye West' ???
The only decent thing was Snoop being a marijuana plant
Just relistened it and you're absolutely right. I fucking hate this song
Hold up. Do people not realize that Earth by Lil Dicky is making fun of We Are the World and other songs like that? Like, its stupidity/uselessness is the entire point?
I never really got that from the song itself. Lil dicky promoted this thing as a 'awareness song' for climate change. See how he speaks about it on Ellen show. If it's really a parody, it fails at being one. It still sounds abysmal and the jokes are still the least funny thing ever. But I guess it puts a different perspective on it
Maybe it’s just me but idk how anyone can listen to this song, by famous comedian Lil Dicky, and not realize it’s supposed to be a parody of charity supergroup songs. Whether or not it’s actually funny is another conversation (personally I think it’s one of his weaker songs). I can see if you weren’t alive in the ‘80s how the We Are the World comparisons might fly over your head. It’s a dated song for sure.
I know it's terrible even to give that feeling but Lil Dicky has said time and time again that the things that he was talking about on the song are really important to him and he was trying to make a change, obviously it's comedic because that's his thing but I don't really think it was satire
Yeah I can see your point. We are the world is for sure the first comparison that comes to mind. Personally, Earth just never really stood out as a parody to me, given the fact that the promotion and reception of the song seemed sincere. But it seems like I might have been fooled by lil Dicky lol
Haha yeah I definitely don’t think it’s supposed to be sincere with characters like “Fat Fuckin’ Pig” played by Brandon Urie, “HPV” played by Lil Yachty, and “India” played by Meghan Trainor 😂
I honestly think he leaned a little too hard into the joke in terms of press and interviews. Reading some reviews, looks like it flew over a lot of people’s heads.
All that being said, I don’t think it’s particularly funny. I do think it’s supposed to be though.
Maybe its just me but idk how anyone can listen to this song
Not anywhere close to the worst song of all time. Cashmere Cat actually did a decent job as producer.
Although, the comedic aspect of it definitely ruins it for a lot of people, and having Leonardo cameo in the music video to say it’s the “best song ever” is beyond inauthentic.
i fucking love Cashmere Cat
Is it crazy that my science teacher played this song to my class in 8th grade because she thought it would be a way to connect to zoomers?
oh cmon, freaky friday is like 10 times worse. at least earth had energy to it and didn't venerate one of the worst persons in music
thunder by imagine dragons makes me want to vomit
Well as a fan, let me assure you. They put their worst foot forward with their singles 90% of the time. Not saying you’d actually LIKE the deep cuts, but you definitely wouldn’t hate them as much as the songs that chart.
Their best album is Smoke + Mirrors BY FAR. It’s not a particularly unique or ambitious pop rock album, but it does have a lot of variety, a lot of passion, good production (mostly), and a lot of aesthetic & atmospheric beauty.
And surprise surprise, it’s worst song is “I Bet My Life”. The only big single from the record. Such an aggressively mid song on such an otherwise lovely album.
Yeah Imagine Dragons isn't that great on general but there are some bangers on that album
Have you listened to them though? Their first couple albums are pretty darn good. Radioactive was one of the better pop songs on the radio at the time. I haven’t listened to anything new, but from my understanding they’re kinda bringing back elements from the beginning of their career.
Thunder is an awful song. That whole album sucks actually. But to say you don’t understand why they got so popular is strange since they were constantly churning out catchy hits that didn’t sound like generic pop music until Thunder came out
Look I mean I grew up with their music so some is nostalgia bit they definitely had some hits, especially in that faux cinematic pop vibe. Were they good? Well better than Thunder, but I don't know if they were good good, but if you played Radioactive when I'm around I wouldn't scoff at it.
W PFP
you Be speaking facts
Is that a pun?
no, puns are for the Common man…
I see it a lot pretty common
i'd argue there are worse imagine dragons songs tbh
For me Demons is worse, just the most cookie-cutter fake-deep shit. I think people overhate Thunder because of the chipmunk voice, I think it actually has an OK, Paper-Planes-ish vibe and at least stands out on radio
Their first album was good and then they sold out…
Facts by tom mcdonald and ben shapiro
yes, that ben shapiro
Ben sounds like an AI generated version of his own voice
He always does
This is the true answer surely. Not only is it a trash song, it's morally freaking reprehensible and represents the dirt worst of society. Shout-out to Jason Aldean: Try that in a Small Town for being just as gross but in balad format.
"I BEEN CHILLIN IN THE MOUNTAINS OF PERU"
not thisss kidney healing shit 🙏
The Melanie Martinez “wheels on the bus” song is pretty awful.
Melanie Martinez is DDLG core
There’s a few good songs on that album, but it was clearly made for the intention of being turned into a movie and you can tell by the song writing. It’s lazy and rushed because obviously you need the music before you can start filming.
Melanie Martinez put out one really good album and then just went off the fucking rails lmao
Im ready for the majority of these replies to be just average songs that are overplayed
The worst song oat probably only has like 50 streams, I don’t like the chainsmokers or imagine dragons but the absolute worst ever is crazy
yeah at least its somewhat tolerable to mainstream listeners, like you said the worst song ever wouldnt even be listenable
All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. Pure torture to the ears.
I hate Me Too by her more. It's infinitely more annoying, and at least All About That Bass had a sort of novelty value to it
I don’t think it’s “why music today is awful,” but it does represent pretty much everything wrong with the music of the mid 2010s
My Father in law says he refuses to listen to modern music after hearing Soft Cell - Tainted love on the radio in 1981. Somehow he managed to cross paths with 'All About That Bass' and he said he really liked it. Go figure.
It got played so much and was annoying so that made a lot of people hate it.
That would be Mother.
I can't think of the #1 worst song. But this definitely makes the top 10.
Gotta throw "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry in the mix. I feel they don't get enough credit for being terrible.
I like how he explains all about the crazy bitch and then at the end of the chorus he summarizes his main thesis “you’re crazy, but I like the way you fuck me”
I’d also like to point out the audacity of them having a song called “too drunk to fuck” that has absolutely no relation to the Dead Kennedys song. And in that song they use the line “I got some pussy on layaway”, which I assume he thought meant that he has so much pussy there is some stockpiled for later, and not that he has some pussy set aside at the store that he is paying down in increments so that he can take it home some day.
It’s so underground that I’ve probably never heard it.
A lot of the answers you guys are giving still sound like music. Even annoying overplayed pop songs made by people who probably can’t make full decent albums are more “sound” musically than randomly smashing a few notes together.
As much as songs like Don’t Stop Believing and Last Night annoy me, they’re not atrocious beyond comprehension.
Probably the one by Tom McDonald with Ben Shapiro. I hate that we live in a world where that even exists.
Death To Mumble Rap
Mac Lethal is actually not bad, I pray that he was satirizing himself in that song in a really badly failed attempt at a self-aware joke.
Earth- Lil Dicky
Dance Monkey
Oh you monster that's a banger
That said, I nominate Twinkle Twinkle by Leah Kate
Snake Eyes by Demondice Peach Scones by Hobo Johnson The 9 minutes Lil Dicky song abt being prison raped Happy Ending by Hopsin
Every single individual who contributed to the making of you done goofed will go straight to hell
Holy shit I looked it up thinking "This sounds like a song I'll at least have fun listening to." Holy shit. Holy fucking shit.
Peach Scone by Hobo Johnson is physically and mentally straining to listen to
It at least has something interesting/weird going on
That's honestly why I like it
It at least seems a bit intentional and self aware about how awful it is
Dance monkey
This is a personal pick but my hate for Fireflies by Owl City was instilled at the young age after hearing 7 people sing it back to back at the school talent show
Even hearing it now, its still so grating and gets on my nerves
Lot of contenders by AJR
Dance Monkey
oppy day by lil mabu
ANYTHING by lil mabu
I think other songs up there for me in terms of worst songs oat include
Alone by Falling In Reverse
Almost everything off of Angelic 2 The Core by Corey Feldman (We Wanted Change’s a classic though)
Virtually everything Lewis Capaldi sings on
Thunder by Imagine Dragons
Everything off of Penith by Lil Dicky
Every Onision song
Peach Scone by Hobo Johnson
Happy Ending by Hopsin
Pop Champagne by Jim Jones
I’d Rather Die by Tramp Stamps (probably)
Dance Monkey by Tones And I (probably)
Snake Eyes by Demondice
Unholy by Sam Smith (probably)
Joker by Dax (probably)
I’ve heard plenty of bad bad music but I think those are genuinely good candidates for the worst song of all time
Also while We Built This City sucks, Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now is even worse. That song is some of the most shameless sappy, stupid, corny 80s slop I’ve heard.
honestly as bad as unholy is i dont think its NEARLY as bad the other stuff you’ve mentioned. in my opinion the only crime that song commits is being cringe
I get you to an extent but at the same time it just sounds fucking horrible
yeah its pretty bad, but i dont think its on the level of anything from angelic 2 the core or falling in reverse
Tbf I did have trouble coming up with songs, ‘cause I’ve heard plenty of songs that are very bad but it’s difficult to think of ones that could well be the worst. I guess I thought of Unholy because it sounds unpleasant throughout and there’s not anything I like about it. But hey that’s just me I guess. Yeah.
yeah i struggled to come up with a specific example too, like theres an unholy (haha) amount of awful music out there and its hard to narrow it down to the worst of the worst
Swagger Jagger by Cher Lloyd
Yummy by Justin Bieber. I could probably think of a few more contenders, but that song just fucking sucks so much and it has always been my go to for this question
there’s a country version featuring florida georgia line. I’m sorry
Mother by meghan trainor
you done goofed
chicken fried by zac brown band makes me want to die like actually
Either:
Good Girls Bad Guys - Falling in Reverse
Earth - Lil Dicky
EDIT: Started listening to Earth for 10 seconds and had to turn it off. That is definitely the worse song out of the two and probably my least favourite song of all time.
Rice & curry - dr bombay
Remember when he had enough of the racist Indian character so he did the same thing but Scottish and then Mexican
Florida Georgia Line, "Cruise"
dance monkey - tones and i
Dance monkey by tones and I Or thunder by imagine dragons
Any of those weird e-girl era songs from covid onwards + any song by corpse husband
Lil Uzi’s cover of Chop Suey
What a terrible day to have ears
That hobo johnson guy, I heard one of his songs by accident and wanted to rip my ears off
bla bla bla - måneskin
i hate that song with a passion lol
I mean, there could be arguments made for so many songs that are just bad musically, but I think the worst has to go to 'You Done Goofed' by Blood On The Dancefloor.
I'll spare you the details but lets just say that not only is it musically horrible, but it actually brought harm to another innocent person. I'll never understand what makes someone think that that was okay in any way. You have offensively bad, and just plain offensive albums such as Onision and Tom Macdonald, but they're just that, whereas this trashcan of a song went beyond just being simply offensive.
That dumbass ABCD song that somehow won a fucking grammy
any song from demondice, tom macdonald and adam calhoun are objectively terrible
CatatonicYouths core.
I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas
YES. everything about the song pisses me off and idk why, but I hate it
I just listened to it for the first time on purpose to analyze why I hate it so much
First of all, subjectively speaking, it was a big hit in 2009. I was feeling pretty lost, angry, and depressed during that time , so there's that
But also, My Girls by Animal Collective was also a big hit that year, and I think that song is beautiful, so it can't just be the timing...
It is objectively a completely unpleasant song. It's way too long for what it is. It's five fucking minutes long. Even though it's ostensibly a song about getting pumped up for a good night out, it is a drag and performed with a complete lack of passion or excitement. The lyrics are absolutely atrocious as well. Like when they are just listing the days of the week - WHAT? The autotune at the start sounds fucking dreadful too. I'm not an anti-autotune guy either - I think hyperpop is some of the most exciting music that's been made in the last five-ish years. It's just utilised in the most annoying way possible here. It constantly feels like it might be building up to something more exciting but never delivers. Just absolutely fucking awful. My day is worse for having listened to it
Luckily, Spotify thinks I should listen to Toxic by Britney after it, so maybe my day will get better because that song is a fucking BANGER
I always hated this song, ever since it came out
Just listened to Puppy Pound by Jazmin Bean for the first time because of this post and it bangs idc.
Yeah OP's wrong for this one. Jazmin's a great artist in general as well, this is one of their earliest songs. I really want Fantano to review their album they put out in 2024.
Soul Sister by Train
Puppy pound is fucking great wdym
Women song by onision
Just stumbled upon this thread and….Jesus Christ. Where the FUCK did you guys find all this shite?! 😂
This is realy not that bad
Strut - Steven Seagal. Me wan da poonani.
Idk that one tones and I song that was all over the radio.
How Am I Supposed to Live Without You. The Michael Bolton version is painful listening, and if Hell exists, that song is playing nonstop. .
Those commercials for the mix CDs always had that song on it and it's just the worst
Dance Monkey
anything Megan Trainor has ever shat out except for that one song she made for the Peanuts movie.
Jail Part 1 by Lil Dicky. I heard it on a Brad Taste In Music video and JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
any song by pent up pup. ropepuppy takes the cake as worst for me honestly
Lil dicky - Earth
.... what does the fox say?
Enemy by Imagine Dragons
I hate this fucking song so much, and my son, 8 at the time wanted to hear it all the time. Pretty sure my wife and daughter just enjoyed torturing me more than encouraging his musical tastes. The production, vocals, lyrics everything about the song is pure Hell. I would kind of curl up into a mental ball until it was over silently wincing to myself.
Jail, Pt. 1 by Lil Dicky
I haven't heard that one but Hello Kitty by her sounds downright awful
I would say any song by Onision, but his songs are so bad, they don't even sound like music to me, so i'll pick DDLG by ppcocaine.
Nope - that song with drove a Chevy to the levee. Don McLean? Worst song ever.
I usually don't judge music tastes but if you really think that this is the worst song of all time...
Stay by kid laroi physically hurts my ears due to the pitch. It's probably not like the worst but in terms of physical pain no song brought me that much turmoil
Probably anything off angelic to the core. Unskinny bop by poison is quite ridiculous. Like what the heck is that about? LFO Abercrombie song too
Why you never became a dancer is up there for me.
That earth sound by the dick guy
rn it’s make you mine by madison beer
I like this song 😕
“Revolution 9” by The Beatles, not even a contest. Even The Simpsons spoofed it, that’s how bad it is. Thanks, Yoko.
The song on TikTok that goes "Did your boots stop working, did your truck break down"
I really don’t know what is but I feel like Switzerland by Borgore is up there somewhere
I had new gore order on this morning (self harm) and he's no doubt one of the biggest hacks in EDM
Oof. Shit, I assumed he was bad but damn. You’d think EDM had enough hacks, haha. Damn. Yeah.
I always find impossible to pick something like this, just like I can't even choose my favorite song oat lol
red dress by sarah brand! ahah what is that..
Blood On The Dance Floor and MSI probably have a couple of songs I think are up there (or down there) in the worst
tantric bile eni
MissionSuicida de Bbtrickz
the 12 days of christmas
Bro what did it do to you
Straight Outta Vagina
We Wanted Change
"I want to be Ninja" by Jennifer Murphy is what you yet if you replaced Hopsin with a 40 year old white woman.
Mother by the Police
Audio
Yeah, lyrically this song is pretty exhausting with the dog theme. When the beat started barking at me I laughed and clicked off.
Friday by Rebecah Black. I’m sure her newer stuff is much better but Jesus Christ she got screwed on that one
The Scuttlebutt by Awkwafina, Daveed Diggs
Probably 4 wheeler by Yuno miles(language warning)
Idk if it counts tho
Chaccaron.
This is entirely personal but 3 AM in NYC by SEB pisses me off so insanely bad whenever I play at my job. It reminds me of a guy trying to get into a girl’s pants by pretending he cares about Star signs, maybe that’s the point even but it’s still annoying to listen to.
I'm going to have to say Motley Crue's new single. It's all ai making it soulless.
It's a 100 way tie between any of Onision's songs
