the 10 worst songs of 2001
According to VoteFortheWorst.com, which is clearly a very reputable source, here are the 10 worst songs of 2001, complete with videos, which almost make the songs even worse. In case you’re too lazy or not so much inclined to watch the videos, I’ve summed them up for you:
First off: C’MON. Why are all the “worst songs” the ones that always fill up my playlists?? Except that damn Afroman song.
#10 – Nsync’s Pop: How did America not know that Lance Bass was a ‘mo?? We need more boy bands. Seriously.
#9 – Mariah Carey’s Loverboy: Mariah Carey is a skank. Sorry, Nick Cannon.
#8 – Britney’s I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman: You know you wish she would have done a nosedive off that cliff at the beginning of the video. Wasn’t this from the hit movie “Crossroads” starring Dan Aykroyd as Britney’s father? Yeah, I knew that without looking.
#7 – Shaggy’s It Wasn’t Me: “We were both butt-naked Banging on the bathroom floor” is the lyric I’m going to have in my head for the next three weeks. Sorry in advance for singing it around the office for the rest of the week.
#6 – 3LW’s No More: Who the hell were these people? The poor thug’s Destiny’s Child? I had to look them up on Wikipedia just to figure out what else they did or what they were or anything at all. I love that they were about to release an album called A Girl Can Mack.
#5 – Destiny’s Child’s Bootylicious: This is clearly a mistake, because I am so ready for this jelly. You know that video is what sealed the deal on whether or not Jigga really wanted to marry Beyonce.
#4 – Crazytown’s Butterfly:I think this band is/was supposed to be hardcore. Except they’re standing in a jungle full of fairies (faeries) singing about butterflies and the video has sparkles edited in everywhere. You fail at hardcare. But if Hanson would have sang this song, I totally would have been down.
#3 – Afroman’s Because I Got High: This may have possibly been the only horrible song in 2001. In my opinon, of course.
#2 – P. Diddy’s Bad Boy for Life: Starring Ben Stiller in the middle of the video… what kind of a bad boy uses the star of Night at the Museum at the end of his video? Sean Daddy Puffy Combs Diddy, I don’t like you, dude. We’re talking close to Afroman-level, son.
#1 – O’Town’s Liquid Dreams: MTV’s first attempt at doing this make-a-band thing… long before Diddy took it over. Because he’s a Bad Boy for Life. I love you, Ashley Parker Angel.
I was totally supposed to be doing freelance work right now. Instead, I watched all those videos. I win.
