The Six Most Annoying Songs of All Time

Bad 90's Music

Jendayi
The 90's was a time when music was good. The majority of the songs were fun and catchy but there were some songs that proved to be too catchy and nonsensical. For every good 90's song there were a few annoying ones.

Below is a list of the most annoying songs of the 90s beginning with the worst and ending with the least worst. These songs below were played so often that you were left with the choice of stubbornly singing along with them or throwing your radio out of the window.

1."Barbie Girl" by Aqua (1997) - When the song came out everyone raved about it because it was different from what anyone had ever done. The song features a women's voice as Barbie and a man's voice as Ken. The two converse in a sing song way throughout the entirety of the song over a synth techno pop beat. The lyrics are subliminally suggestive and suggest that Barbie is all Ken's to touch and play with if Ken only says she can be all his. The most annoying part of the song was the hook in which Ken continuously asks Barbie if she wants to go party to which Barbie never truly answers. It seems as though Barbie is just set on Ken seducing her.

2."The Bad Touch" by Bloodhound Gang (1998) - This song was just as popular as "Barbie Girl" every kid could be caught singing it. Everyone favored the hook, "You and me baby aint' nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel." This song was in the style of upbeat pop techno synth in which the lead singer appears to rap over. What made the song annoying was the repetition of the verse. The verse seemed to be bigger than every other part of the song.

3."I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred (1992)- This song was a massive hit, it could be heard in the movies, on the streets, on the radio, and on t.v. It was loved by many because of its comical content. The song is about a vain model who believes that he is too sexy for a numerous amount of objects; he's too sexy for his cat, his car and even his shirt ! He doesn't really sing in the song rather he talks in a snobby masculine tone. The track is upbeat and pop techno tinged. All though this song might have become annoying to so many in the 90's it will never become forgotten or truly despised. It's sheer comedy and a fun party song that everyone can enjoy.

4."Macarena" Los Del Rios- the Macarena is a dance pop Spanish song. A dance that involves hand and body movement accompanies the song. The song was released in 1995 and the whole world ate it up. This one single sold 11 million copies! In 1996, a crowd of 50,000 danced to the Macarena. The song was widely popular and for that reason was played in stadiums and arenas, and t at parties and in homes. This song was on constant replay in both video and radio format during 1995. What made the song so successful was that it was a highly interactive song with a good beat. This song was family oriented and everyone could participate in it.

5."MMMBop" by Hanson. "MMMBop" came out in 1997 as a up tempo pop rock song sung by three little boys who were mistaken for three little girls, because of their high pitched voices and flowing, blonde, shoulder length hair. "MMMBop" was Hanson's debut single and was extremely successful. It ranked at number 1 in 27 countries and was nominated for 2 Grammys. When this song first came out it was loved by many, but it soon became despised because of the massive airplay it received. The people could only take "MMMBop" for so long.

6."Who let the dogs out" Baha Men- This song is wrong in many ways. The track was released in 2000 by Baha Men and it is a reggae tinged dance track. The verse portion of the song is pretty decent. It is only when the group hits the chorus that the beat turns into a more dance beat and unfortunately is when the incessant repetition of the men asking "Who let the dogs out?" followed by the barking of the words who, who, who begins. It is almost unbearable. The song has been featured in many children's movies and that's where the song seems to perfectly fit. It is a beloved tune amongst children. Maybe if the song emphasized more of those Caribbean instruments and minimized the asking of "Who let the dogs out" then it wouldn't be so annoying. Just like "Macarena" this song was popular in arenas and stadiums
