The list below may not make your ears bleed as bad as mine but I think we&#8217;re all in agreement that some of these choice cuts are something you could play at Guantanamo to get a confession.<\/p>\n<p>There are classic horrible songs like; <em>We Built This City<\/em> by Starship or <em>Friday<\/em> by Rebecca Black. Rebecca Black is just a kid so she gets a tad bit of a pass. It&#8217;s like Hanson&#8217;s <em>Mmm Bop <\/em>or anything by Aaron Carter, these are minors and can&#8217;t be held to the same let&#8217;s burn-them-at-the-stake ideal as adults. <em>Barbie Girl<\/em> by Aqua (and other foreign acts) get a pass because of them being foreign. If a song sucks, and <em>Barbie Girl<\/em> does suck, I can usually be less pissed by them being foreign. Canada is too close for that rule. Being Canadian just hurts your cred a tad right out of the gate.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The below list are by artists who should know better. Sure, there are joke songs like <em>Who Let the Dogs Out<\/em> by the Baha Men or Right Said Fred&#8217;s <em>I&#8217;m Too Sexy, <\/em>we all knew those were bad to begin with. The list below are songs people at one time (and still do) thought were good<\/p>\n<p>A lot of these songs came out at a very impressionable time in my youth, 1998-2003 which I honestly feel this is the worst 5 years in music history. I&#8217;m a rocker at heart and that&#8217;s why Shania Twain or Big n&#8217; Rich don&#8217;t make the list. That genre isn&#8217;t mine. Limp Bizkit and Creed I felt as an attack. They were getting too close to my wheelhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get to the torture shall we?<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a thread about the songs I&#8217;ve chosen. A lot are covers. If a song sucks to begin with, why cover it!? There are solo artists in here that came from big acts that make me question anything from their prior bands. But the main visual and audible flaws in these videos are; Doughy white guys with bad facial hair trying to rap. Videos filled with dumb skits with a &#8220;we&#8217;re so funny&#8221; wink to the camera. People cruising around on small vehicles in suburbia having way too much fun. Some videos are taking themselves way too seriously. There&#8217;s also the drama student motif with way too much shit going on, too many props, or other actors milling around.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>No. 10 &#8211; Len: Steal My Sunshine<br \/>\n<\/strong>White guy + Yankees hat + Rapping = nomination to this list.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Len - Steal My Sunshine\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E1fzJ_AYajA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>No. 9 &#8211; Crazy Town: Butterfly<br \/>\n<\/strong>Douches with a touch of douche.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crazy Town - Butterfly (subtitulado)\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T7cRo48Y2ac?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>No. 8 &#8211; Barenaked Ladies: One Week<br \/>\n<\/strong>So glad we got outta there before they played this atrocity.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Barenaked Ladies - One Week (Official Music Video)\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fC_q9KPczAg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>No. 7 &#8211; Uncle Kracker: Follow Me<br \/>\n<\/strong>You know what would make this video good?
