rolling fuck this shit worst songs of 2015 thread

oh man that J Sutta thing is like a perfect storm of stupid people watching Twigs and thinking "we can do this" plus some kind of Cats-the-musical-goes-BDSM nightmare

haha forks i knew you would be the one who would like it

*shrug* i wouldn't go so far as LIKE IT but i listened to it once and don't feel scarred, please pass me my "this guy loves autotuned sasquatches" shirt

I'm not watching the J Sutta video but I am listening to the audio; the song is incredibly embarrassing, like "Corey Feldman with a production budget"-level embarrassing

It's good how the cat intro was acted in English, then dubbed into Chinese and subtitled in English. That's dedication.

I think we've had worse. But in the interest of fairness, I'd like to see "Feline Regurgitation" extended to include a list of credits and ads for merch.

ok in principle i am not really opposed to a video all about a loving little consensual BDSM scene where someone has a profound cat/milk fetish. but why does it turn into a creepy murder scene after that? i guess the plot is that this scene went awry and that our protagonist has mixed feelings about it? or is the whole thing some stupid metaphor for resenting your mother? not well thought out.

it's always weird when these featherweight dopey songs, with not a lot going on in the 'main' video, bother shooting a whole separate prologue and a long instrumental break. like maybe they could have used that footage for the verses or something, relieve the monotony.

the song itself is garbage but only the way that everything else is.

I heard an awful song that Shazam told me was Grouplove "Ways To Go" but turns out it's from 2013.

Also I've grown to REALLY hate Jason Derulo "Want To Want Me," but I feel like a decent percentage of ILX probably enjoys it.

So with that said, here's Rod Stewart:

shazam has appeared on my computer somehow and when a car drives past it tells me the name of the antagonistic sounds that i can just about block out. cars are bad enough for the environment as it is but there is no need for these sounds not only to follow me home but to identify themselves in this way

what a shit world we live in where phones can identify songs on command. this is truly the end of times.

I went two blissful years without a phone but have had to relent and buy one, I keep it at arms length as much as possible, but this was my computer that is keeping me informed about the garbage that is proliferating from these cars

holding out a sliver of hope but this is a very disconcerting sign of what may come with 'chiraq' http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/this-terrible-new-song-from-spike-lees-chi-raq-cant-pos-1741795557

you drive around with your computer on?

oh I see, when a car drives by your house.

I feel like it's time to bring this thread full circle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFalCPji7uk

and the song that brought them to mind

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2haRSNr08M

I guess that ruins the point of "full circle." or else this liz/sophie song is so bad it un-closes the circle

there's still december!

There is the germ of a good song in that Liz track...

the germ that infected the good song with a debilitating disease

This was being circulated as a contender on Twitter a few days ago but...it's...growing on me...

For 10 seconds of the first verse, as her voice gets lower, I don't want to kill anyone involved in that song. Those ten seconds end.

I actually really love that Girli track.

The terrible bits are aggressively terrible but the sung parts are pretty catchy.

As we move to the end of the year, I'd like to drop a quick note to encourage any readers / lurkers / ilxors to post their least favorite tracks from this year to the thread so that I can hoover them into the ongoing spotify playlist. Last chance for any accessible stragglers that may not already be in the lexicon.

what was that one hysterically bad song about (iirc) Tinder dates, that got taken down within hours of the internet discovering it? I wanna vote for that based solely on memories of the one time I watched it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPS9Op5dhCw

no, that's the tobacco PSA one -- this was some weird earnest shit with a guy and a girl standing side by side staring into the camera singing while acting out their tinder date or something -- does anybody remember what I'm talking about? pretty sure it had its own thread, we may not have discussed it ITT

i think that video was taken down within hours of being posted. they were able to take it down before dying of embarassment, i guess

sounds about right:

The Horror of 'Tinder-Inspired Indie Band' Swype Right

I'm just gonna throw out some obvious choices for the playlist:

Fetty Wap - 679
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzz4Z-O7710

PSY - DADDY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrG4TEcSuRg

"679" is awesome wtf

i like 679

xp

I haven't liked any of the "Trap Queen" followups either.

i will also roll for 679

alfred won't you come my way

btw tonight I watched just far enough in the "(Let's) Marvin Gaye (& Get It On)" lyrics video to reach the line "Karma Sutra, show & tell" at which point I pedantically corrected the video by turning it off

... I didn't even stick around long enough for Meghan Trainor's guest verse(?)
& I feel bad that I lolled over the "We've got this king-size to ourselves" lyric

WE WUZ ROBBED

2015 might be the year I finally LOSE MY DAMN MIND if shit like this keeps being called country music.
