What songs do you just think are stupid?

ok...everbody sing along now....Chica-boom(don't you jes love it)..Daddy Dewdrop

also the ever masculine... Tiny Tim with Tiptoe through the Tulips
 
That incredibly saccharine "Candle in the Wind" remake that Elton John did for Princess Diana's funeral. All-time horrible.

Rescue by the Desparation Band.

I can't get over the lyrics, "This world has nothing for me"

At first sight you might think a song by a band named Desparation with lyrics about there being nothing in the world of any value is about suicide but NO... it's about Jesus.
 
Anything and everthing by My Chemical Romance drive me up the wall. God, the lead singer is so whinny when he sings...

Baby Got Back is kinda stupid however the clubs don't think so. They play that song still today.

But My Tractor Is Sexy. YUCK!! There is no way people even want to sing along with that poor excuse of a song. :)


well, i dont know that i think its stupid and i think that it is true. Some guys out there want a girl with a big booty, i guess. But the fact that they still play it to this day says that some people out there do like the song :p

I think you have to like country music and appreciate it the song for what it is. a goofy song that is meant to make people laugh.

but to each their own.

i dont like coldplay but some people tell me they are amazing

Sadly, every new "hot" band seems to be modeled the same way. Whiny, "I hate life" singer. Overactive drummer that's not as good as he thinks he is. Guitar players that can play pretty well but when they sing they show how talentless they are overall musically.
 
This one

It makes me wanna puke :(

Actually... she's generally all too fake. bleeeeurgh :(


Totally agree... what a piece of shit song. I'd compare it to a bunch of first graders making a song...

you think Pink is angry at Corey Hart for their breakup???? bitch got some serious anger issues...

i agree. while I'm all for being 'goth' and 'angry', the msic has to not make me wanna PUKE. Or shoot the very whinny 'i hate my life but make tons of money from being a fake goth' lead singer...

And of course, one song that makes me totally wanna throw up is:
Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne.
Someone shold tell the chick black and pink skulls don't make a punk princess... well maybe a fake one.
 
Saving the Stupid

I love this thread, as I love any music-related threads, and so I think maybe it would be interesting...possibly even fun to problematize the whole affair. So, the title suggests that deciding if a song is "stupid" is a subjective, individual process, and that probably no one is going to come up with the same song (though there is, as you might expect, quite a bit of nodding agreement with other choices.) And while I agree that my stupid is not your stupid, I wonder if perhaps we aren't confusing stupid and bad. Or, at least, blurring lines between the two.

So, do we have to hate our stupid songs? Are they necessarily bad songs, or just confused? As in all situations like this, we turn to Ringo.
Case in point, "Don't Pass Me By," from the White Album. Ringo's first successful (well...) stab at songwriting, it's a simple story we've all heard before, of the man who's love doesn't return home at the expected hour. He begins to believe she's tossed the relationship aside, but later learns that she was merely in a disfiguring auto accident, and will be home a little later than usual. Same old, same old. It seems as if this is a pop song that doesn't know what it means to be a pop song. The hand-wringing about being left behind is familiar, sure, but as soon as the final verse kicks in, the circuit closes. Oh, it was a car crash. Whew, we thought it was something serious that required some reflection and anxiety and so forth...you know, the kind of stuff that makes pop music go. It's self-annihilating; everything Ringo worries about in the first 3/4ths is taken care of swiftly, shrugged aside, and the status quo returns. "Don't Pass Me By" is a pretty stupid song because it's trying to be something but failing miserably. And yet, I love it. It bobs along on its ramshackle rhythm and Ringo's voice is the definition of earnest; how could you dislike it?

Contrast "Don't Pass Me By" with, say, Percy Sledge's "When A Man Loves A Woman," a song that's more firmly in the pop tradition, but which I cannot stand for more than a few seconds before it makes me want to pull out my teeth using only gravity. There's just something about it that I don't like...the arrangement, Percy's voice, the recording quality, the melody...I don't really know. But it's my anti-song. I don't think it's stupid, just awful. Bad.

So, to amend the subject question, what songs do you think are stupid, but which you love?
