i've always like "thong song" - had it down as "favorite song" in my 5th grade yearbook - but i never really noticed how well it functioned as a straight-up r&b song until i heard it alongside the rest of shipley's top 50 r&b songs of the decade list

Anslem Douglas' original of Who Let The Dogs Out? might have shaded it but Sisqo is the pick of this bunch.

2x eurocheese novelties, 1x weird amateur internet earworm, 1x pop-r&b party classic, 1x pretty great pop-rock hit?

"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.
― lex pretend, Friday, 1 April 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
("pieces of me" is not really anything like ashlee's best, though, or even the best off her debut album)

"Better Off" is A+++ amazing.
"Piece of Me" is one of her weaker singles I think, and only really makes much sense in the context of Autobiography, but its song-writing is still great: "Make me happy it's your mission/And you won't stop till I'm there" - the guy loves her so much that he tolerates all her flaws AND enduringly keeps going till she gets her orgasm.
― PΓ☼LΞG☼ (prolego), Friday, 1 April 2011 22:53 (twelve years ago) link
I really really really dislike the verse and the chorus of Pieces of Me. in fact, if we did a Worst poll, it'd get my vote.

like i know the song is about sex, but surely the construction of the song isn't a cutesy way of saying "i want to orgasm on the kitchen, on the floor."

Baha Men is the only one of these I have no good feelings about on any level, so I'm pleased to see it come last
my belated write-in vote is for the Gameboy version of "Thong Song" which was briefly an internet meme circa 2000, or maybe it only was in my head: http://www.biglionmusic.com/music/arrangements/other-arrangements/thong-song-gameboy/

still "Thong Song", though I suspect "Pieces of Me" and "Friday" would slide down and that underrated *classic* "Mambo #5" would skedaddle up to #2 if this was polled again
"Thong Song's" mandate only grows.
