might have to be this massive chune big up the uk

Anything by Ed Sheeran but especially Shape Of You. Can’t believe it was the most popular song for a long while. It’s so repetitive and grating, and the lyrics are cringe af at best, objectifying and creepy at worst.

An article about how the song was written: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/20/arts/music/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you.html

Mr. Mac and Mr. McDaid weren’t convinced. “‘I’m in love with your body,’ on its own with no addendum, with nothing at the end or no preface, felt objectifying to me,” Mr. McDaid said. “It felt like that’s the thing — it’s just physical, it’s nothing else.”

yup

Mr. Mac gave the collaborators a challenge: to use the same four chords throughout, not switching to a major key for the chorus.

Being bland and repetitive was an intentional design decision. That’s why I hate it more than anything else.

After about 90 minutes, they had recorded the complete song.

:margot-disgust:

Absolute gross slop.

I’d suggest something by Dave Matthew’s for the worst.

Just cause you can play well doesn’t mean you can write something good

For years I worked in a warehouse and a different section blasted the same playlist every day, and it wasn’t long enough to get through the workday, so it would loop a couple of times. At that distance, with that crappy Bluetooth speaker, played at that volume, I heard a shitload of just the distorted high notes of Hello by Adele, Downtown by Macklemore, and Shipping off to Boston by the Dropkick Murphys.

So those three are all tied first for worst.

Believe it or not, the worst song is actually whatever your favorite song is. It changes a lot depending on who’s reading this.

White people

it’s spelled Michael Bublé (boob-LAY) but it’s pronounced Michael Tittyfuck

I don’t suspect anyone to be interested but I’ve kept an ongoing list of songs I absolutely can’t stand - many feel like lowkey psychological warfare, because I’ve been hearing them in grocery stores, cars, and gas stations for my entire life, without any say in the matter. How many more times can you play the same classic rock hits…

“Just Haven’t Met You Fett” and it’s Boba Fett

“Just Haven’t Met You Nyett” and it’s Russian

The speed with which people forgot Tones and I is impressive

Especially since she has another song I keep hearing on the Woolworths radio (it’s not great)

It’s actually 7 Years by Lukas Graham.

edit: no, that song sucks, but the real worst song ever is Click Click Boom by Saliva.

why would you inject that into my brain

My hero by foo fighters

Good life by onerepublic

Its going to be best day of my life song

Fuckin any maroon 5 song

The kid laroi and justin beiber song

Heat waves by glass animals

White iverson and circles by post malone

That jelly roll song

I dont know the name but it goes like “when i went to Chicago” WORST SONG EVER DIE DIE

My Way by Frank Sinatra was a catalyst for several murders in the Philippines so maybe that one

I think we’re heading into the season which is a bounty of some of the worst songs in the world.

I haven’t worked in retail for so long but I still get the thousand mile thousand yard stare when the Christmas tunes start blaring.
(How do you do, fellow Americans? Today while driving my pickup truck down the freeway to the gun range this morning, I was eating my usual breakfast hamburger with Starbucks when a deer hit the hood of my car. The cops pulled me over, outraged at the harm I had caused to my car so they engaged in the typical amount of police brutality against me before I was rushed to hospital whereupon I was promptly declared bankrupt, so now I am suing the hospital, the police department, and the fish and wildlife service for damages. Just another day in America, amirite?)

There’s only so many 8 hour shifts with a Christmas song rotation of like 20 songs that are all at best marginally better than this Christmas song.
