    If it weren't for Christmas music existing, I would say half of Katy Pary's songs could be contender for worst song.

    Anything by Ed Sheeran but especially Shape Of You. Can't believe it was the most popular song for a long while. It's so repetitive and grating, and the lyrics are cringe af at best, objectifying and creepy at worst.

    An article about how the song was written: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/20/arts/music/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you.html

    Mr. Mac and Mr. McDaid weren’t convinced. “‘I’m in love with your body,’ on its own with no addendum, with nothing at the end or no preface, felt objectifying to me,” Mr. McDaid said. “It felt like that’s the thing — it’s just physical, it’s nothing else.”

    yup

    Mr. Mac gave the collaborators a challenge: to use the same four chords throughout, not switching to a major key for the chorus.

    Being bland and repetitive was an intentional design decision. That's why I hate it more than anything else.

    After about 90 minutes, they had recorded the complete song.

    :margot-disgust:

    Absolute gross slop.

      I agree that the song is obnoxious, but have you heard "the molecular shape of you" by Acapella Science? It's an incredibly good scientific parody of the song

    I'd suggest something by Dave Matthew's for the worst.

    Just cause you can play well doesn't mean you can write something good

    For years I worked in a warehouse and a different section blasted the same playlist every day, and it wasn't long enough to get through the workday, so it would loop a couple of times. At that distance, with that crappy Bluetooth speaker, played at that volume, I heard a shitload of just the distorted high notes of Hello by Adele, Downtown by Macklemore, and Shipping off to Boston by the Dropkick Murphys.

    So those three are all tied first for worst.

      Same, at Amazon, except one day I found out the speakers were Bluetooth connectable, and you could link multiple sections together. I put on 'Sixteen Tonnes' and let the bad times roll.

      I posted a video of it online, and it turns out South Park already did that.

    Believe it or not, the worst song is actually whatever your favorite song is. It changes a lot depending on who's reading this.

    I don't suspect anyone to be interested but I've kept an ongoing list of songs I absolutely can't stand - many feel like lowkey psychological warfare, because I've been hearing them in grocery stores, cars, and gas stations for my entire life, without any say in the matter. How many more times can you play the same classic rock hits....

    I think we're heading into the season which is a bounty of some of the worst songs in the world.

    I haven't worked in retail for so long but I still get the thousand mile thousand yard stare when the Christmas tunes start blaring.
    (How do you do, fellow Americans? Today while driving my pickup truck down the freeway to the gun range this morning, I was eating my usual breakfast hamburger with Starbucks when a deer hit the hood of my car. The cops pulled me over, outraged at the harm I had caused to my car so they engaged in the typical amount of police brutality against me before I was rushed to hospital whereupon I was promptly declared bankrupt, so now I am suing the hospital, the police department, and the fish and wildlife service for damages. Just another day in America, amirite?)

    There's only so many 8 hour shifts with a Christmas song rotation of like 20 songs that are all at best marginally better than this Christmas song.

    Is it cheating if i mention anything Seth Putnam put out?

    if you want mental damage

    CW: every bad combination of words

    name of band is also bad

    Look up the discography of "anal removed" and pick any song at random the title alone will be horrible enough to beat any song you pick

    He even put out an ironic love songs album that somehow is even worse

    It's actually 7 Years by Lukas Graham.

    edit: no, that song sucks, but the real worst song ever is Click Click Boom by Saliva.
