5 WORST SONGS RELEASED 2011
My worst songs of 2011 list doesn't involve laughing your ****ing ass off, standing under the mistletoe or moving like Jagger; this is the list of the 5 worst songs
I've heard and I go out of my way to avoid listening to songs that I know I'll hate. That said, consider this list... The 5 Worst Songs of 2011 (Released By COMPETENT Musicians).
5. Rihanna- Birthday Cake
Sure to be included on numerous "favorite songs" lists, Rihanna's Birthday Cake is the only song on Talk That Talk bad enough to warrant a place on this list; fortunately, it's only an interlude and not a real song. I don't find it a fun, sexy or enjoyable song/interlude/whatever-the-Hell-it-is. This minute and a half long piece of audio repeating the word "cake" and the phrase "I love it" as though Rihanna has Tourettes' would have been better off if it had been
left off.
4. Lady Gaga- Americano
The live piano version is the only version of this song I can tolerate. Gaga's accent in the song is irritating, and the production is headache-inducing. Americano is the only bad song to come out of a Gaga-Garibay collaboration; not even Godibay saves this mess of a song that gets me to hit the skip button faster than you can say "I don't speak."
3. Rebecca Black- Friday
It's on pretty much everybody's list
for good reason, but it's surprisingly not at the top of mine.
2. Britney Spears- How I Roll
There are a few songs on
Femme Fatale that I don't particularly like, and then there is How I Roll. When I first listened to this, I had to struggle to listen all the way through. Then I deleted it from my iTunes- the first song I have
ever deleted from my iTunes. How I Roll is completely unlistenable, and gets the crown of worst pop song of the year, and it'd rank first overall if it weren't for...
1. Tobey Keith- Red Solo Cup
It's a party song; it's a viral song; it's a Tobey Keith song; it's about plastic cups. Any one of these things individually makes a bad song; combined, they make the worst song I've heard in years. This song is literally equivalent to Friday, except it's actually
approved of by the music industry. To my great detriment, my father loves this song and is aware of the fact that I absolutely loathe it.
