Thanks for doing this poll Forks. The countdown should be fun! I will be sending a ballot, it's just been affected by Christmas. Not because it's a busy time, but because the music in shops has made all this stuff seem kinda good.

Coolio. Right now it's three ballots; twenty would make it interesting and more would make it more interesting!
Again, you want to mail forksclovetofu at gmail dot com your top five worst songs of the year. Your #1 gets five points, #2 gets four points, #3 gets three points, #4 gets two points, #5 gets one point. Simple stuff, so vote.

You could always extend the deadline a while past Jan 1st... For this poll, prolonging the agony is highly appropriate.
Meghan Trainor's "Better When I'm Dancin'" is an improvement, dare I say it? Though she does fail to pronounce the word "music". She calls it "moozic", for some reason.
Melody Thomas discussed the badness of "Dead Future Husband" or whatever the title is, on Radio New Zealand's Matinee Idle.
Thanks to all contributors for an entertaining and informative year of crappery. On some level, the world probably needs bad moozic, in order for there to be so much great moozic.
For my ballot, I would have voted for the properly hateful shit, but it would've meant a very grim ballot topped by "I Love Females". And as heinous as that song is as a (mis)use of music, I feel bad giving it any credit at all. Even in this.
So instead, I went for the super awesome funny-but-crap option. Songs that remind me of talent, even if they display little of it. They're also the ones that gave me the most laughs, which is why I enjoy these threads after all:
5: Baby Dic - "Death Metal Dizzle"Baby Dic is one outrageous dude. A totally outrageous paradigm.
4: Black Eyed Peas with David Guetta - "Awesome (This Is Awesome)"It's not awesome. BUT hearing a band desperately pad out a song to four times its official "full" length... that's awesome.
3: Roslyn Moore - "In the Burbs"The sub-burbs really aren't as cool as Roslyn thinks, nor as hellish as she makes them sound. Tune's okay, in a kind of annoying way.
2: Chris Holmes - "Born Work Die""Shove this tuner up your ass". Six minutes long.
1: AronChupa - "I'm an Albatraoz"All kinds of daft. This song's stupidity has also infected the Wikipedia article about it:
Ekberg raps about a woman who she calls a mouse and refers to in a vulgar way.The word albatraoz is a made up word, created to reference an albatross[4] and the group itself. Mouse is also a play on words, as the Swedish for mouse is 'mus', which also means vagina, or pussy, which can also mean 'cat'.

Why not just use this one? (Once it gets enough votes.) I think this is only the second year when there's been any 'Worst Song' poll.

Shit, I actually signed up for spotify for the first time so I could scope all these terrible songs. Is it Dec 31 by midnight? If so, I think I can do this on my commute tonight and tomorrow.

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 30 December 2015 23:17 (eight years ago) link
By my count (and i'm doing a lot of counting with this nonsense these days!) that honor was bestowed on Fall Out Boy, Fetty Wap, Ellie Goulding, Sam Hunt, Demi Lovato and Joanna Newsom.
― Does that make you mutter, under your breath, “Damn”? (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 31 December 2015 00:49 (eight years ago) link
er, that is the artists were nominated for both. If you mean the exact song, that would be "679" from Fetty Wap, "Take Your Time" from Sam Hunt and "Cool For the Summer" by Demi.

Niels could explain more, but the Danish "Blak & Jimillian" lyrics, when translated into garbled English, seem to be very Thicke-esque. (Or Thicke's-ghostwriter-esque or whatever.)

Sent. Worth noting that Elle King - My Neck, My Back is not included on the list above, but IS on the spotify playlist so I voted for it. Her and Meghan Trainor should win some kind of white dude in the old man hat voice prize.
