Music Suggestions 2 - driving fast in my car

This song is a great example of how cocaine addled producers and musicians make shit music.

Edit: I say this as a generalization of an era, not the people who made this song.

But sometimes we get “Party All the Time” by Eddie Murphy. It’s a knife that can cut both ways.

I always enjoyed the original, but never felt any depth to it. Felt like the mash brought some needed elements.

I can’t find it now but there was an old post on R/HipHopHeads on Reddit where a guy went into detail about how he had a playlist of two songs, Panda and Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2 which if you remember is basically Panda with a Kanye verse. He basically was driving himself insane by listening to it nonstop and getting the lyrics stuck in his head, one of the funniest Reddit posts I know of.

Back to “worst” song, I couldn’t understand the amount of love for this.

Really? Wild. I think the original is actually pretty bad ass for as much as I mocked it over the years. Decent tune. Caught them live once on accident (on tour with The Bled) and the rest of their set sounded like something I didn’t want to be a part of, but they piped in the kids singing the drowning part and I’m man enough to admit that it was big.

I liked that record. Went back to it recently and it does not hold up. Hahahaha.

In terms of Billboard Hot 100 I think this could be the worst song in the past decade to go #1. I get what the message of the song was trying to get but I think it misses the mark and I hate her singing in the song. Could just be from it being overplayed but I’ve always hated it.

I had successfully forgotten that this “artist” existed until now.

I had to search on incognito mode for this because I didn’t want it fucking up my YouTube algos.

But even the opening fiddles are hideous. Good god.

it is speculated, in “some” communities, that Meghan sampled “All about that Bass”, from PHiSH!
EDIT, the below I think is a great, fun little tune. Great tune for the little ones, too.

One more Phish tie-in.

If you want to know where OliveLoaf comes from :

Harpua->I’m Gonna Be(500 miles)->Harpua
Its a story, maybe a bad one. Don’t feel obligated. BUT, OliveLoaf, comes from here.
Edit, to fix link

YES this was the #1 worst song on WXPN’s 88 worst songs countdown (our local NPR music station).

They did the 88 worst songs countdown in 2014 right after they finished the countdown of 885 best songs ever as voted on by listeners.

I won’t stand for the Rockstar slander on this Worst Songs list, I won’t do it!

Also, if you’re going to put 1 Buffet song on the Worst Songs list it has to be Cheeseburger in Paradise, it just has to.

Nickelback with two in the Top 25 is probably understating them.

They’ve got way more than 2 of the worst songs.

This song is complete dog shit. Unoriginal, uninspired.
