'Sometimes When We Touch'

Dan Hill

There isn't enough room to run down the oversharing, self-mythologizing and total sissy-ness displayed here.

iTunes | Lyrics

39

'Physical'

Olivia Newton-John

An entire generation's leg-warmered, pastel spandex shame is laid bare in just under four minutes.

iTunes | Lyrics

'I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)'

Meat Loaf

Won't do what? Who's asking? Is this an opera? How many real songs are slammed together here, and why?

iTunes | Lyrics

Meat Loaf Bat Out Of Hell II Back Into Hell

37

'I Love Rock 'n' Roll'

Britney Spears

Doing her best to single-handedly set the women-in-rock movement back 20 years. (Joan Jett rules, BTW!)

iTunes | Lyrics

36

'Party All the Time'

Eddie Murphy

If only Eddie Murphy knew an amazingly sharp, funny, music-loving comedian to help rip this "song" apart ...

iTunes | Lyrics

35

'Tubthumping'

Chumbawamba

Please, let's all keep knocking them down. I don't care what they say, eventually they'll stay down for good.

iTunes | Lyrics

34

'Jump, Jump'

Kris Kross

Don't blame the kids. Look behind the curtain for the true villains, songwriters Treach and Jermaine Dupri.

iTunes | Lyrics

33

'Informer'

Snow

We're bringing in a ringer to take this one apart for us. Please welcome Jim Carrey, performing 'Imposter.'

Kylie Minogue

If this and 'C'mon N' Ride It' each leaves the train station at the same time, which gets to Sucktown first?

iTunes | Lyrics

'Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm'

Crash Test Dummies

Not only bad but amazingly monotone and depressing. Absolutely the last song to play for your sad friends.

'Pretty Fly (for a White Guy)'

The Offspring

What we learn here is that you can be the joke teller, and still, somehow, be the butt of the same joke.

iTunes | Lyrics

29

'Axel F'

Crazy Frog

Without a doubt, the best remake of the 'Beverly Hills Cop' theme song by an animated frog, ever.

iTunes | Lyrics

28

'Livin' la Vida Loca'

Ricky Martin

The No. 1 reason cruise ship bartenders and DJs quit their jobs. Also the last song you want to hear when hungover.

iTunes | Lyrics

27

'Wild Wild West'

Will Smith

Look, make your dumb "robots in the Wild West" film, get millions, God bless. Just leave Stevie Wonder alone!

iTunes | Lyrics

'Afternoon Delight'

Starland Vocal Band

If this guy can sing this cheesy song, and still somehow get some in the middle of the workday, we bow to him.

'I'll Be There for You' (Theme From 'Friends')

Rembrandts

The most dangerous song on this list. Like a panther, it can strike anywhere that reruns of 'Friends' roam free.

iTunes | Lyrics

24

'Hangin' Tough'

New Kids on the Block

As badass as they are here, remember when they went all street and became NKOTB? Even tougher!!

'Nookie'

Limp Bizkit

He did it for the nookie, huh? We hope he got it, 'cause he's clearly going home without artist respect today.

iTunes | Lyrics

'We Built This City'

Starship

You say you can't undo a legacy? Well, here's Grace Slick, singer of 'White Rabbit' proving you way wrong.

iTunes | Lyrics

'One Week'

Barenaked Ladies

Smug: "Exhibiting or feeling great or offensive satisfaction with oneself or one's overly clever lyrics."
