Worst song of the day: Our Lady Peace, “All You Did Was Save My Life”

But seriously, if you whole-heartedly, unironically love anything Our Lady Peace has done since 2002, or for that matter any lyric Raine Maida has written since 2001, you should go. Now.

Worst song of the day: Chickenfoot, “Oh Yeah”

I don't get it. Van Halen in the Sammy Hagar era was decent, Joe Satriani is a legend, Chad Smith is the drummer for the goddamn Red Hot Chili Peppers - so how the fuck did that collaboration result in a song called fucking "Oh Yeah!"? Taking "lowest common denominator" literally, it seems.

Worst song of the day: Silk, “Freak Me”

I’m not actually sure why this song is so bad. The lyrics are cheesy, but not abnormally so; the slow grind of the music is trying, but not irritating; and it’s old (if 1992 is old now), so it’s harder to accuse it of unoriginality. But for some reason, all of this adds up to create the kind of hypnotically bad song that seems to go on for 10 years and makes you sit around for all 10 of them, saying “This is so bad” but unable to change the station.

Worst song of the day: Green Day, “21 Guns”

This song actually isn’t so bad. Except that it sounds like Green Day trying to do “The Scientist”, which is just wrong. To top it all off, the radio played “Basket Case” right after it, which despite being 15 years older sounded much fresher. I guess it's good that Green Day is maturing, rather than desperately attempting to replicate their Dookie sound. But I don’t have to like it.

BONUS FACT: According to Wikipedia, “Basket Case” is a take on Pachebel’s “Canon in D”?! Damn

Worst song of the day: 3OH!3, “Don’t Trust Me”

Or, as it is known at my workplace (and probably on Google), “Don’t Trust A Ho”. The fact that they spell their band name 3OH!3 is bad enough. This song has heavy rotation on Virgin Radio and unlike, say, “Boom Boom Pow”, it never gets to the point where I can appreciate its ridiculousness. Also, every time he talks about his tongue behind some other girl’s teeth I throw up a little.

P.S. “Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips” is a pretty good line though. Maybe not as good as “You so two thousand and late”.
EDIT: Oh of course the only redeeming feature of this song is not in the radio edit!

Worst song of the day: Karl Wolf, “Carrera”

The verses and choruses sound like they were written at the same time in different rooms and then some third party suggested a key change would make them fit together. I know the chorus is the only thing that people like/remember of a popular song, but that’s a little extreme.

Also, I thought “carrera” was a nickname for a girl or something and was weird and ungrammatical, but it’s a car, so I’m not going to complain about that.

Worst song of the day: Kid Rock, “All Summer Long”

This song is the worst idea ever. If I wanted to listen to “Sweet Home Alabama”, I’d listen to “Sweet Home Alabama”, okay? LINK

Worst song of the day: Lady Gaga, “LoveGame”

A coworker told me today that Lady Gaga was born a hermaphrodite. I always did think her leotards looked a little boxy in front. Anyway, I was actually starting to like her music until I heard this song. LINK

Worst song of the day: Theo Tams, “Lazy Lovers”

This is music for people who like Josh Groban’s voice but find his music too experimental. I just found out that this guy is a Canadian Idol winner, which makes more sense. I guess the music itself isn’t terrible (it’s no “LoveGame”), but the title makes me cringe and the lyrics are, well, lazy. One nice thing about this song: the cover of the single matches my layout nicely. LINK
