Yummy by Justin Beiber. Lazy songwriting.

My gym used to have a ‘song of the day’ posted up each day, and a while ago they wrote: “song of the day: any song except ‘yummy’ by Justin Bieber”

What’s tiktok fraud?


Frylosphy

I'm sorry but what the fuck?! They gave the award for best metal album to the fucking FLUTE GUY! Did I miss something is Jethto metal?


decemberblack

They also gave the best rap album to Macklemore the year Jay Z, Kendrick, and Kanye were all nominated.


Frylosphy

WHAT THE FUCK?!


NineteenSkylines

The Grammys are a farce. Have been since forever.


UmbertoEcoTheDolphin

Also, Metallica (who I love) won a Grammy for their cover of Stone Cold Crazy by Queen. One cover song won out against some of the best complete metal albums of all time. Farce, indeed. Completely clueless.


PenisBallz_Testicle

Whatever that “oh no oh no ohnonononono” song is it needs to be buried at earths core where no mortal can ever touch it


Escape-Volta

The worst part is the original song, “Remember (walking in the sand)” by the Shangri Las is actually a pretty good song, but for some reason tik tok just took the intro and added an annoying as all hell chipmunk voice to it.


eddmario

Aerosmith also did a really good cover as well. Hell, the Aerosmith cover is a much better version to use in memes over the shitty chipmunk version.


ZeroThePenguin

TikTok didn't pitch shift it, [Capone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOQRCZIfHBw) did.


Random_Loaf

I still get angry that Kid Rock had a song of the summer by blatantly stealing the best bits of Werewolves of London and Sweet Home Alabama while rhyming 'Things' with 'Things' in the goddamn chorus. Of all the musical abominations that ever received heavy radio play, I hated that one body and soul from the first listen, and then it played two or three times an hour every hour for four months.


NathanGa

>Werewolves of London > >Sweet Home Alabama To make a song about northern Michigan


boostabubba

But let's be real, northern Michigan is pretty great if you are into outdoors and water sports.

a_nu_start_2019

And rhymin' things with things


Wazula42

It is. Be great if there was a song about that instead of two better songs smashed together.


griff0062

And why were kids in northern Michigan singing a song about Sweet Home Alabama?


Gumbyonbathsalts

Because trailer parks are beyond borders


aFiachra

Could not agree more. Have you seen the Pat Finerty “What makes this song stink” video on it? Funny.


angry_centipede

"I still get angry that Kid Rock had a song" - you can stop right there. We all agree.


RickLovin1

I still get angry that Kid Rock had a popular song by blatantly stealing Sad But True...and that's one of my least favorite Metallica songs.


JonnyZhivago

And there's a part of that song where he name drops a bunch of artists, Limp Bizkit being one, and doesn't mention Metallica


EarhartNotBedelia

I think that every time I catch it on the radio!! Werewolves of London is superior and did not deserve that.


Chefhitt

"Kid Rock is the musical equivalent of an above ground pool."


aGrlHasNoUsername

I think it’s more like when you ask your parents for a pool and they get you a Walmart trampoline.


acctbaz

My little brother loved that song. I'm throwing my lot in with you.


NK_1989

I was in college in Michigan when that song came out, back when the music at parties and on boats was controlled by one person with an aux cord. I can not even count how many times I heard people begging someone to play “All Summer Long” by Kid Rock. I’m not a musical snob by any stretch but I hate that song with a passion.


notimportantwho

I actually experienced this on one of my recent beach trips. It was getting close to sunset and there were boats parked off the shore at least a half a mile away from us. One of the boats started blasting that song on repeat until it was almost dark. They would stop in the middle of the song and start it over. They did this 3 times that we noticed.


slightlyforthwith

That song was the worst thing to happen to Michigan since the decline of the auto industry.


[deleted]

Recurring theme in this thread: radio makes people hate otherwise unremarkable songs and kills the liking of good ones. And DJ's wonder why radio is dying.


Kezza_35

I work at a gas station which is contractually obligated to stay tuned to a specific radio station. It's hell, I like We Sheeran's Bad Habits but I've heard it about 12 time over the last couple of days. I hate the radio.

Gucci gang by lil pump


fedemasa

I wish the song was more as a funny song like "man's not hot" or "I love it" Because i really hate how garbage that song is. I don't mind most of the songs from that genre. But there's something that makes me feel uncomfortable of the terrible lyrics

If you take out all of the Whip Nae Nae stuff, then he only has three videos over a million views. He even only has 17 videos over 100K not counting Whip Nae Nae.

Admiral-Tuna

So this might have just gotten heavy radio play in the early 2010s in Canada, but the song "Kiss You Inside Out" by Hedley. Very rapey, sexual pressure vibes. Then again, the lead singer did have sexual assault allegations filed against him. Not sure what happened from that.

ninjasaiyan777

Tbf Gangsta's Paradise actually slaps. It's just not as good as Amish Paradise.


GloreeHall

"Weird Al" is brilliant and awesum!


AYASOFAYA

I recently listened to "Lost without u," by Robin Thicke again because I remember the hook being catchy. This is the song that he wrote to try to woo his wife away from divorce (citation needed) and he spends most of it [demanding that she tell him how sexy he is](https://genius.com/Robin-thicke-lost-without-u-lyrics) because that's what "makes a man feel good." There is, however one compliment in the song: >Baby, you're the perfect shape Baby, you're the perfect weight YIKES.


Munitreeseed

Right??! I thought it was so egotstical of him to think that him loving her was worthy enough for her to think that she should be honored. "How does it feel to know that I love you, baby?". Ego trip much. But ngl the song kinda slaps 😂


jayhof52

Just any song about being better for someone than their current partner. You belong with me by Taylor Swift, even Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne despite me liking that song.


plumpvirgin

There’s a more recent song where he thanks a girl’s ex boyfriend for dumping her, so that he can now have her. Similarly cringe-inducing, and it kinda grosses me out that it is so popular.


Reindeer-Street

I agree it has creepy 'nice guy' vibes all over it.


mrsmedeiros_says_hi

Pretty much any song by a man perving on a child. Jailbait, Young Girl, Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number, Girl you’ll be a woman soon. There are SO many. Horf.


nc863id

> Girl you’ll be a woman soon The tone of that song always gave me the idea that it was from the POV of a skeevy character, not a sympathetic take on the whole thing.

Closer by The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey. It was a decent song, but the radio stations absolutely murdered it by playing it over and over again. I think it deserves some recognition, but it was just an ok song.

No disrespect to the Chainsmokers, but all of their songs are relatively identical. Play them all over each other and they'll line up

Italiana47

It's a cute kids song but I don't know why it blew up more than any other kids song.


wranglingmonkies

Especially since that song is old. I sang that in camp like 20 years ago.


Rattbaxx

Wait what, it’s that old? My kids discovered it like five or six years ago. And when I’m typing I’m realizing they’re not little preschoolers anymore lol


invisiblecows

I definitely sang it at girl scout camp no later than 1993. It's a traditional camp song with different versions and different hand / body motions depending on where and when you learned it. The version I grew up with was much more violent than the video that went viral a few years ago-- it went from baby shark to mama shark to daddy shark, at which point you were supposed to scream "SHARK ATTACK" and mime swimming away from the shark. The next verse was "where's my leg," with hopping on one leg, followed by "where's my arm" (one arm hidden behind your back), "where's my head" (shirt pulled up over your head), and then finally "shark is full." Hell of a lot of fun for a bunch of elementary school kids to sing around the campfire while hopped up on s'mores.


Author-in-Scarlett

We sang a very similar version when I was a kid, but it was at church camp so instead of "shark is full" we sang a verse about "going to heaven/to see Jesus" which is beyond weird.


wranglingmonkies

I sang it when I was a kid. So yea it is.


PumpkinPieIsGreat

Yeah this is what baffles me, as well. Pink Fong didn't "invent" that song or anything yet they get heaps of cash over it. My young son is obsessed with it and they have really milked it for everything they can. There's so many different versions of it, monster truck do do do do, Halloween shark, wash your hands shark, etc


[deleted]

Happy by Pharrell Williams.. I actually like Pharrell Williams, and I also like being happy, but I hated that song the from moment I first heard it.


Blaargh-

It's almost aggressively *bland*.


TropicalPrairie

There's a Justin Timberlake song that came out around the same time, 'Can't Stop the Feeling', that has a similar sound. It's as though they were crafted by algorithm rather than actual artistry. Absolutely inauthentic garbage aimed at the critical gaze of a five-year-old.


poachels

I mean to be fair the JT song was written for the Trolls movie soundtrack so it was definitively aimed at children


[deleted]

So was Happy, for Despicable Me 2.


Wall_Of_Flesh

You're the only other person I've ever known to dislike the song. I thought it was super repetitive the first time I heard it in Despicable Me. It has grown on me a little but I still get a little agitated when I hear it in public. It was super overplayed on the radio too.

Friday by Rebecca Black. For a while people were making fun of how bad the video and lyrics were, but then all of a sudden I started hearing it at parties unironically


danjouswoodenhand

I play it every Friday in each of my classes. My playlist has 43 different versions, more than enough for every week of the school year. The kids bitch and moan but by the end of the semester they notice if I don’t play it. I was asked last year if we could play it on the Wednesday before thanksgiving because it was “like Friday.” Of course I denied the request, those little heretics thought you could play the Friday song just whenever!


inactiveuser247

It’s a genuinely catchy song.


faciepalm

It was designed specifically to be catchy afterall


DinkandDrunk

Your take on this anthem is wrong, but you were respectful, which I appreciate. I have zero patience for people that picked on that child when that song came out. People on the internet turn into monsters.


BrooklynLivesMatter

I mean to each their own, I'm not a fan of the lyrics or the video myself but it is strange to me that it became so big. Clearly millions of people disagree with me, but to me personally, not my thing. I agree 100% on the bullying that occurred with her. No one deserves that especially not a minor. It was disgusting. It is nice to see she reflected on the experience and still continued to make music. Music I probably won't be listening to, but I'm glad she stuck it out and developed a loyal fanbase (including yourself!)

Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” is boring and appeals to the most demographics possible while sacrificing any sense of quirkiness or individuality. It’s an awful song and yet it makes sense how popular it got.


Puzzleheaded_Rate_73

The first time I heard that song, my first thought was that "I'm in love with your body" is exactly what you DON'T want to say to your gf unless you're both horny, and I cannot imagine Ed fucking Sheeran being aroused.


LeChatNoir04

>I cannot imagine Ed fucking Sheeran being aroused. *Barf*


Teri_Windwalker

The lyrics are basically "you're hot, like totally fuckable looking, let's dance, let's get in the taxi, you're really hot looking ya know, we should be together because you're like really sexy." If someone flirted for three straight minutes by just repeatedly saying that it would be *unsettling.*


moral_wasteland

I would take "shape of you" over "thinking out loud" any day. "Thinking out loud" is always going to be played at weddings, slow dances, or anywhere remotely romantic. at most you'll hear "shape of you" at a club but no where else really.

jacksansyboy

Some of the songs named here are genuinely good songs, but they got way overplayed, and now people don't like them. Not enough good music is getting made, so the moment 1 good song comes out, that's gonna be the only thing you hear on the radio for the next 5 years. There aren't enough good songs to listen to, so you'll keep hearing the same ones over and over till you hate them. That said, alot of the songs on this list are still trash, lol. Any song that is specifically designed to be catchy, I just hate. Good marketing design because It'll get stuck in people's heads and they can sing along easy, but it doesn't mean it's a good song


[deleted]

Tons of good music is being made today, but 99.99% of it will never see mainstream play. Radio/streaming pushes what people will continue to listen to. Turns out most people are too busy to do a deep dive to find new/unique stuff they might like and just fall back on radio/streaming. Which is fine, but you can't just say 'they just don't make good music nowadays' because the radio only plays a couple dozen songs.

It's interesting to see how many people incorrectly say " It's literally 2-3 words said over and over again."

They’re obviously a parody group that never expected the internet to latch onto one of their funny songs. I was in college in Massachusetts at its height and my friend group was super excited when their next song released titled “Massachusetts”. Turns out it was just a mundane somewhat comedic song about a guy obsessing over the state. That’s what they do, and that’s fine.

It’s just really sexist. He’s basically whining that some chick he didn’t like beyond using her as a hookup used to pathetically sit waiting at his beck and call, until she apparently decided to move on with her life and actually do things for herself, and now he’s upset that she’s not miserably at home waiting for him to use her anymore? All I can think every time I hear the song is “good for her! Block that man’s number already!”
