For some reason, people still think that they can be the next Justin Bieber. By that I mean that people keep putting videos of themselves singing on YouTube. More often than not, these people are bad but not offensively bad. However, there are those time where someone posts something that makes you wish you were deaf. And that brings us to today’s Worst of Music song. It’s a teenage duo going by the name of Double Take who are trying the Rebecca Black method of getting famous and cranking it up to 11 with their song Hot Problems. Continue reading

Worst of Music: Paris Hilton – Drunk Text
What happens when you lay a track of lyrics read by a completely robotic sounding celebrity heiress slash sex tape starlet over an annoying electronic beat? You get this week’s edition of the Worst of Music. This week, the award goes to the woman who repopularized the celebrity sex tape in the 21st century, Paris Hilton, and her spoken word track Drunk Text. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Rihanna and Chris Brown – Birthday Cake (Remix)
For those of you hoping for my normal critique of what is wrong with today’s music industry will be disappointed today. Yes, I will be talking about the song but that’s not today’s focus. You see, this week’s Worst of Music song is a remix of Birthday Cake by Rihanna featuring Chris Brown. The history between those two is well documented but the problems with this song go well beyond the infamous incident of 2009. Continue reading
Worst of Music: The Cult vs. Flo Rida – She Sells Sanctuary
Before everyone gets really defensive, I’m not naming The Cult as this week’s Worst of Music. I’m also not naming Flo Rida the WoM winner either. This week’s winner is really Budweiser and their marketing department. While Bud usually gets praises from the advertising world for their Super Bowl ads, this year, they committed an atrocity on the music world by mashing up The Cult’s classic She Sells Sanctuary with Flo Rida’s Good Feeling. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Madonna – Give Me All Your Luvin’
Over the last 72 or so hours, Madonna has played the Super Bowl halftime show and released a new single. It’s only appropriate that I give her latest comeback the recognition it deserves. That’s why the winner of this week’s Worst of Music award is Madonna with her new single Give Me All Your Luvin’. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Keshia Chante – Table Dancing
This week’s Worst of Music doesn’t come from the usual suspects on the Billboard Hot 100. Instead, it comes courtesy the producers of Canada’s New Year’s Eve show from Niagara Falls. The first act of the night was R&B turned dance singer Keshia Chante. Good Canadian artist seldom have any trouble getting a break in the US market. However, there’s a reason that Keshia hasn’t gotten into the US and that’s evidenced by her most recent hit song Table Dancer. Continue reading
Worst of Music 2011: Pitbull – Give Me Everything
Another year has come and gone. That means it’s time to name the worst song of 2011. There were a lot of worthy contenders. Rebecca Black looked like a strong contender with Friday. B.o.B’s Strange Clouds made a late year charge for the 2011 WoM. Frequent airplay of Maroon 5’s abomination Moves Like Jagger kept it right in the hunt all year. But in the end, there could be only one winner. The worst song of 2011 is Pitbull’s Give Me Everything. Continue reading
Worst of Music Retrospective: DJ McFLY – 2011: The Aftermash
Since we’re close to the end of the year, new song releases are thinning out. So I thought this would be a good time to post another year-end song mashup as a retrospective for the year that was in bad music. DJ McFLY did his own DJ Earworm style mashup of the top songs of the year according to the Billboard Hot 100 for 2011. He mashed-up 30 songs (and one remix) into his 2011: The Aftermash. Of those 30 songs, 19 of them were named the Worst of Music. Hit the jump for the song and a list of what’s mashed-up into it. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Spike Jones – All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth
We might think that Christmas is a great time to turn on the radio and listen to some music. After all, the standard top 40 fare has to split airtime with Christmas music. Normally, anything that reduces the airtime that’s given to the likes of Rihanna, Lady Gaga, David Guetta and Pitbull would be a good thing. However, not all Christmas music is worth listening too. And that includes this classic song that wins a Christmas Worst of Music. It’s the Spike Jones Christmas classic All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth. Continue reading
Worst of Music: Mashup-Germany’s Top Of The Pops 2011 Mashup
With all due respect to the folks at Mashup-Germany, their mashup of the top songs of 2011 is tailor-made for our weekly Worst of Music post. It’s not really of their doing, though. They did the best they could with the source material. And that source material included ten previous Worst of Music award winners. Hit the jump for the first of many year-end song mashups.
