the Moldy Peaches were the equivalent of a seventh-grader from gifted class screeching “Cheese monkey!” at bullies until they were too sad and confused to give him the beating he so clearly deserved.
clearly this is whiny speaking from experience right?

it's kind of nice to know that my wholly unfair prejudgment of The Moldy Peaches was absolutely 100% accurate

as tom ewing said on twitter, "who's got the crack?" is 47 places too low on this list. what a vile song.

I'm hoping that Ashlee Simpson, The Goo Goo Dolls, and Smashmouth didn't make the Worst of the 00's list, since they're all listed on the barfing iPod.
― dabug, Tuesday, 20 October 2009 18:29 (fourteen years ago) link
(Ashlee for not having any songs that are anywhere in the vicinity of the 50 worst of the decade, other two because any badness worth anything happened before the decade started.)

and who cares about any other SM songs
Ey, all I'm saying is that there have been some REALLY awful songs this decade.
― dabug, Tuesday, 20 October 2009 18:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I know no SM song exists that's worse than Bree Bree.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 20 October 2009 18:35 (fourteen years ago) link
In fact, I bet there have been 50 worst-of-decade-worthy songs released this YEAR, according to this thread.

i hope jordan has done that thread proud in his selections!

There's gotta be some weighting for general importance, though -- something off of Brokencyde's new album should be worth more than something off of one that they self-released, in the same way that trolling MySpace or CDBaby for awful songs would seem to be a waste of time.

I'd like to suggest that those who can also comment directly on Idolator; Whiney (and Maura!) can respond directly to commentary there.

holy lolz I never read the lyrics to that
"it's that clubs fault that I humped a 14-year-old girl on stage (let's pretend I never threw that male fan into the crowd)"
― the blackest thing ever seen (HI DERE), Tuesday, 20 October 2009 19:30 (fourteen years ago) link
I had never heard "Control Myself" prior to Maura's post and I was somewhat floored by the production. Yes, all other elements of the song are concentrated dumb evil, but man, that beat.

^Spoken by someone who learned love from Charlie Sheen. (In a postmodern world, the good is bad. Weird, I just listened to this song today for the first time in like two years.)
― dabug, Tuesday, 20 October 2009 20:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Is "Intuition" the one that goes, "I see a burning bush to my left / I see something something to my right / You're not in sight. / You're not in sight?"
― Mordy, Tuesday, 20 October 2009 20:28 (fourteen years ago) link
That's "Standing Still," the awfulness of which I had long forgotten until this new regrettable moment.
― Brad Nelson (BradNelson), Tuesday, 20 October 2009 20:29 (fourteen years ago) link
I hope "Standing Still" appears on this list.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 20 October 2009 20:29 (fourteen years ago) link
oh I had also forgotten about that song and yes, WAY worse than "Intuition"
― the blackest thing ever seen (HI DERE), Tuesday, 20 October 2009 20:34 (fourteen years ago) link
Dear God that "Bree Bree" song is the worst fucking thing I've ever heard in my life.
― Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 20 October 2009 21:19 (fourteen years ago) link
there's something about songs being presented as "LOL THE WORST" that makes me end up liking them in a weird way. as if preexisting knowledge that something will be bad just sets you up for backward-dissapointment, "oh c'mon this isn't so bad." as stupid as the lyrics are the akon song is not even one of the songs akon released this decade. but yeah "why doesn't anyone wanna take blame? -> i'll take on all the blame -> even though it's on you" is hilarious.
― samosa gibreel, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 04:27 (fourteen years ago) link

The missing word here makes this assertion wonderfully mystic.

i'm not sure if whiney's timely expulsion will bode well for this thread. i'm with kshighway; dude can be a bit of a caricature of himself, but i think the laffs outweigh any annoyance or resentment engendered. huge lols on the article, though, like especially the decade breakdown.

I am assuming "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" and "Stars Are Blind" are going to pop up on here eventually (low 40s for Das Racist, high 20s for Paris).
― the blackest thing ever seen (HI DERE), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 13:29 (fourteen years ago) link
I thought Whiney really genuinely liked the Das Racist song

2) that LL was purposely recycling his "Going Back To Cali" flow for old school points
actually the flow seems straight jacked from "Funky Cold Medina"...I'm always tempted to insert "like Mick Jagger said I can't get no satisfaction" in the verses.
that said, I love Control Myself and will rep the hell out of it.
― musically, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 14:14 (fourteen years ago) link
well LL did "Cali" but not "Funky Cold Medina" and he did a bunch of interviews namechecking "Cali" when "Control Myself" came out so
― some dude, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 14:19 (fourteen years ago) link
oh look at that whiny is blogging
― am0n, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 14:29 (fourteen years ago) link
i know LL didn't do Funky Cold Medina, i'm saying the flow is identical.

― access flap (omar little), Wednesday, 21 October 2009 14:57 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah...but if I'm talking about what LL was "purposefully" going for and referencing his own words, while you're saying "actually" like you're dropping a truth bomb or contradicting what i was saying at all
