the perez prado original mambo is kind of blazing btw, the trumpets especially

"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.

("pieces of me" is not really anything like ashlee's best, though, or even the best off her debut album)

The corrxt answer is who let The dogs out. Stupid

ford lopatin (dog latin), Friday, 1 April 2011 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link

Who let the dogs out is one of the best tunes of that era. Fuiud.

"Friday" has given me some pleasure (as opposed to none), so that.

Ashlee Simpson. Prefer inoffensive MOR to extremely offensive and annoying novelty dreck. And "The Thong Song" is largely tuneless...

ok Geir's here, lock thread

San Te, Friday, 1 April 2011 22:44 (thirteen years ago) link

"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 (thirteen 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.

(ilxor, do not take this as a cue)

Always amazed at how much shakey is the actual personification of a strawman who doesn't get anything.

Tim F, Saturday, 2 April 2011 02:05 (thirteen years ago) link

Thong Song is better than pretty much anything ever

gospodin simmel, Saturday, 2 April 2011 02:50 (thirteen years ago) link

I'm drunk like a motherfucker, but I stand behind the Thong Song!

fuck this thread so much for getting mambo no. 5 stuck in my head

"combo #5" might be my favorite dad joke ever

Waht is that at taco bell

San Te, Saturday, 2 April 2011 03:05 (thirteen years ago) link

wait actually this song is kind of really racist n/m -- for some reason i always remembered it as just being about fast food

J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 April 2011 03:05 (thirteen years ago) link

oh wait for some reason the only version on youtube is some racist version making fun of chinese ppl and not the weird al version n/m

J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 April 2011 03:06 (thirteen years ago) link

hmmm maybe there never was a weird al version of "combo #5" -- i might've just imagined this whole thing

J0rdan S., Saturday, 2 April 2011 03:07 (thirteen years ago) link

Lolz

San Te, Saturday, 2 April 2011 03:09 (thirteen years ago) link

"Thong Song" or fu imo

Jordan: wikipedia sez the Combo #5 song was mistakenly attributed to Weird Al so maybe you werent alone in that one

VegemiteGrrl, Saturday, 2 April 2011 05:33 (thirteen years ago) link

also Friday is the only song I would remotely tolerate hearing right now

VegemiteGrrl, Saturday, 2 April 2011 05:34 (thirteen years ago) link

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."

Mambo No. 5 is great! I don't how anyone could hate it, unless you hate novelty dance tunes in general. Hating it is like hating Macarena!

No one likes this song. You are lying.

I'm one of the twenty plus Tuomas. Silly little pop song - I've always been surprised at the hate for something so fluffy and fun.

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/

Hey, the Baha Men did a cover of "Dancing in the Moonlight" before Toploader!

Mark G, Monday, 11 April 2011 11:28 (thirteen years ago) link

more votes than most Beatles polls, I notice

cockroach shakespeare (Noodle Vague), Monday, 11 April 2011 13:17 (thirteen years ago) link

nine years pass...

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.

it's like a euphemism for "she takes giant shits" or something

well presumably she wasn't wearing the thong during this, shouldn't matter
