We all have those select few songs we can't stand. Songs that, when they come on your car stereo, make you seriously consider jerking the car into a ditch just to make the pain stop. Songs that a wily FBI profiler could blast at us to stop a hostage situation.
Not that anyone is planning to take hostages. Ahem.
Perhaps its the mega popular song from the 90s which made up for its blatant lack of lyrical content with its mindless, catchy chorus? Or it could be that doozy from the 80s, when space exploration could inspire the lamest of songs and former members of a once respectable band could form a new, fantastically shitty one just to fit in with the changing times?
Music has the power to inspire or afflict in a unique way. These are the songs that I believe to be the ten worst songs ever written. They're all embedded, too. Enjoy.
10. "Hey There Delilah" - Plain White T's (2007)
One of the more recent songs on this list, "Hey There Delilah" falls prey to being exhaustively played once it hit big back in 2007. It's a ham-handed cornball of a song that relies on a sing-a-long chorus and a simple acoustic guitar chord. Not to mention it's a whiny little ditty about a girl going to school in exotic, far away New York City -- a tired concept that is as trite as it is uninspired.
