Shape of You by Ed Shareen. I worked at a shitty warehouse that managent pumped with a top of the charts radio station. Shape of You was played more than once per hour some days

Any modern country song. That shit should legit be suppressed.

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.

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

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

It's Two Princes by Spin Doctors.

Is it cheating if i mention anything Seth Putnam put out?

if you want mental damage

CW: every bad combination of words

Is the song so bad it triggered the libs to write a whole article about it 30 years later?

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.

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.

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

There speaks one who has never heard "The cheeky song (touch my bum)"

sorry it's actually "the long and winding road"

exhibit A:

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear, I've seen that road before
It always leads me here, lead me to your door

the prosecution rests

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

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.

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)

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

If it weren't for Christmas music existing, I would say half of Katy Pary's songs could be contender for worst song.

If we dont count stuff such as Nazi Black Metal- That racist ninja song by that one white lady comes to mind. Maybe not the worst of all time but its up there with some of the worst. Racist, cringe and shameful

I dont want to look up her name and I dont want to look up the song again. Sorry.

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....

____ by Blink-182

why would you inject that into my brain

A lot of you haven't been following Dax's country rap turn and it shows.

"Just Haven't Met You Fett" and it's Boba Fett

"Just Haven't Met You Nyett" and it's Russian
