"thong song" is a legitimately great song -- the production on it is amazing
i fuck w/ "who let the dogs out" too \(o_O)/ -- "pieces of me" is aight
"mambo #5" is corny & not even in an acceptable way -- "friday" is of course totally awful
― J0rdan S., Friday, 1 April 2011 20:30 (thirteen years ago) link
& the thing about "thong song" is that it's a bit ridiculous but it's sort of a hilarious endpoint (or close to one at least) of a type of song that rappers/singers have been making for decades & in that sense the ridiculousness works for it in terms of being a 'serious' song (if that makes sense)
"who let the dogs out" & "mambo 5" & of course "friday" are just straight novelty tho

I'll confess... look, I didn't mean to ok, it just happened. I let the dogs out. I thought I closed the gate but it didn't latch right or something. Anyway, that's not an excuse, just an explanation. I AM sorry, but I can't believe after all these years this is still an issue. We found all the dogs too BTW, it was only like 4 dogs, ok! I'm not gonna say anymore I just wanted to own up to it, that's all.

Shakey pulled Ashlee Simpson's name out of thin air as someone famous for being successful despite lack of talent, but that's more for the SNL debacle than her actual music (although "Pieces of Me" is a total piece of shit, just not a notorious one like "Friday" or even "Who Let The Dogs Out")

"pieces of me" and "thong song" are legit great (also, i thought we as a society were past the whole shameful ashlee-as-figure-of-fun phase?). i don't know how either could crop up when talking about the worst of anything. "friday" is highly entertaining. "mambo no 5" was annoying but it's based on a good tune. "who let the dogs out?" is actively hateful.
