I put it to a vote. What is the most annoying song ever? My vote went to Who Let the Dogs Out? and so far, after nearly 4,500 votes, it’s in the lead. My Humps – Black Eyed Peas is in an understandable second place, but one I just don’t get is in third.
Nickelback’s Photograph is getting tons of hate. I understand the catchy-popness to it – many of Nickelback’s songs are like that. But worse than Barbie Girl? Worse than Mmm Bop?
As an author, all I can do is shrug and say that’s what the public hates. I only included to song because it got so much hate, while leaving off songs that I personally despise. Dave Matthews was on Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago and after a couple of minutes of listening to it, I had to change the channel. His voice is super annoying, the instruments are all over the place, and I’m utterly baffled as to how people like that music.
But what I’ve found is, like commercial jingles, there are some bands that people either LOVE or HATE, and there’s little gray area. So if I’m on one side of a band like that, that’s better than being the only one to hate a very good band.
