We’ve all been there before, those songs that you just can’t stand and makes you want to rip your hair out upon listening to them. I have compiled a list of my top ten most annoying songs. Be warned, this blog entry may bring back some horrible memories…

10. Wannabe – Spice Girls “Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want. So tell me what you want, what you really really want. I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want. So tell me what you want, what you really really want. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really really really…” WANT THIS SONG TO END. That’s pretty bad when not even 30 seconds into the song and you already desire to never hear it ever again. Whoever came up with the concept of the Spice Girls must have thought he had a good thing going. “Let’s take 5 hot girls and make them sing and dance and label each one with a shallow personality!” But alas, little did this person know that he unleashed a pure evil onto the world. This song makes me want to vomit all over myself.

9. Stacy’s Mom – Fountains of Wayne “I know it might be wrong, but I’m in love with Stacy’s mom.” Hurray for songs about finding your friend’s mother attractive! That’s what makes this song so annoying. You see, I have jackass friends who make comments like “Dude, your mom is a total MILF” or “If I were given the chance, I would totally be your daddy.” “Uhhh…this is my mother you’re talking about so if you could refrain from making comments like that, that would be great! kthxbai!” Needless to say, when I first heard this song, it really pissed me off. This song makes me want to run naked through a field of poison ivy.

8. Thundercats Theme Song “Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats! HOOOOOO! Thundercats are on the move! Thundercats are loose! Feel the magic! Hear the roar! Thundercats are loose!” When I first saw the opening theme where he extends his sword with lightning shooting down and a kickass electric guitar in the background, I was like, “Holy crap! This show is gonna be awesome!” Upon watching the actual episode and realizing its complete lameness, I figured out that the show wasn’t even half as exciting as the opening theme made it out to be. This song makes me want to extend a sword right into my chest.

7. Hollaback Girl – Gwen Stefani “This shit is B-A-N-A-N-A-S!” This song is S-H-I-T-T-Y! I still remember my first encounter with Hollaback Girl. I was given a ride by a friend and she had this song playing in her car. I literally said, “What the hell is this?” After this encounter, I never asked her for a ride again. There’s always a chance that she still plays it. “Would you change the CD please? If not, you can drop me off here. I’ll just walk the next 15 miles to my home.” This song makes me want to slip on a banana and fall down a flight of stairs.

6. I’m Too Sexy – Right Said Fred “I’m too sexy for my shirt. Too sexy for my shirt. So sexy it hurts.” Right Said Fred should be Right Said DEAD for creating such an abomination known as the song “I’m Too Sexy.” Not only that, apparently Fred and I have different definitions of sexy as well. Can someone explain to me how anyone can find this picture sexy? This song makes me want to slam my head into a wall repeatedly.

5. Barney Theme Song “I love you…You love me…We’re a happy family…” I’m not even going to give an explanation as to why I hate this song since it’s not necessary. If anything, the concept of a purple dinosaur that talks and spreads the powers of friendship and love is creepy/annoying enough to make this song on the list. This song makes me wish a dinosaur would tear me apart, limb from limb.

4. Witch Doctor – Sha Na Na “Ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang!” Repeat that same nonsensical, yet strangely addictive, chorus 50 million times in 3 minutes and you have a recipe for torturing even the most strong willed and toughest guys. Not only that, remember the cartoon Alvin and the Chipmunks? What could be better than 3 prepubescent chipmunks with really high voices singing this song? This song makes me wish my ear drums would implode within itself and then instantaneously burst into flames.

3. Ice Ice Baby – Vanilla Ice “Quick to the point, to the point no fakin’! I’m cookin’ MCs like a pound of bacon!” The only thing Vanilla Ice was cooking when he created Ice Ice Baby was a horrible song, an annoying chorus (ice ice baby x 3496830486 times), and a music video that makes baby Jesus cry. The dancing in the video was nothing short of pure garbage. I’m not even sure if you can call it dancing so let’s just classify it as “a pathetic collection of arm thrusts and quirky leg movements with dignity lost at each motion.”

2. Who Let The Dogs Out – Baha Men “Who let the dogs out? (Who, who, who, who, who?)” I think the real question here is who let this song be made? Horrible memories flood back into my mind whenever I hear it. Why? Because I was the school mascot for my junior high school (the Oglesby Washington Bulldogs) and during basketball games, in a gym that’s over 90 degrees, I was forced to dance to this horrible song to get the crowd pumped and cheering (and lose all hope of ever dating a girl in the process). This song makes me wish that a dog would bite me in the crotch so my mind could focus on that pain instead of this horrible song.
