 F*** You! - Cee-Lo Green
"It's rare to see consensus get built about a pop song. Music is one of those things that everyone has a different taste in. Very, very rarely is a song so good that everyone has to agree on it. But when I heard my #1 song, I spread it to everyone I knew and everyone loved it, and I've never seen that happen...the music snobs, the soccer moms, the teenagers, the sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sl*ts, bloods, waste-oids, dweebies, dickheads, everyone.
I wanted this to top last year's list, but...God, it just couldn't build up the momentum for mainstream acceptance. It was...it was built around the single bluntest profanity in pop history. No way could something like this catch on, no matter how good it was. But I just kept watching, and slowly, surely, it got there, capturing the hearts and minds of a grateful world.
And part of the reason Cee-Lo finally made it over the top is because Glee smartly put it in one of their medleys, but any gratitude I had to Glee for helping this truly deserving song capture the hearts and minds of millions was immediately erased when their version started to replace the original in the minds of the softer-headed in this country.
And by the way, the name of the song is 'F*** You!'; not 'Forget You!', 'F*** You!'
I seriously considered putting the censored version on the Worst list. Censoring it ruins the whole point. And besides, who could really be offended by this? This is a song for the entire world. Your kids can sing it. It's the F-bomb for the whole family!
If there's a single person in the universe who doesn't like this song, I haven't met them and I don't care to. But if you're out there, whoever you are, wherever you are...
...I disagree with your opinions.
And f*** you."

at Cee Lo not making it, he was so deserving and so close. None of my favorites from this set made the finale 
It's still an amazing one, though. Also slay @ tha write-up shouting out Glee as well.
