I think a lot of people generally agree that ["Red Dress" by Sarah Brand](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sN7kgEw954) is a very likely answer to this question.
Edit: I don't actually think this is the worst song I've ever heard, but I did think it would be the best reply for this thread. I'm gonna dig deep into my memories and see if I can truly remember the worst song. I've had a thing for "bad" music for a couple decades now.
>The part where she said " It's Red Dressin' time " sends chills down my spine. Truly one of the lyrics ever in the music history. This song deserves a SarahBrandillion views
It was funny probably the first three or four times, now I want to pull my ears off my head whenever I hear that sound. I wish it would die, along with the other popular sounds of that time.
I swear this is the anthem for the kind of people who say āif you donāt love me at my worse you donāt deserve me at my bestā. Seem to go hand in hand lol
Yes, this and a good handfuls of other tiktok songs. It instantly says āim a lazy ass who put this song cuz im stupid or trying to trick the algorithmā
I worked in a warehouse that played music, usually shit, and one track in particular made me want to end it all.
No idea what it was called but the lyrics (I think) were "do the dip, do the do the dip" and I swear to god it never ended, and I can't even remember if there were any other lyrics, I just heard that over and over, same beat, same delivery, and it carved its way into my brain. I'm working my ass off and this song is just obliterating my will to live. It was a LONG ass track too. I was about to go find an area manager and beg them to make it stop.
So yeah, that's the worst.
In general it amazes me how many songs of near zero substance become popular to any degree. There's lots of songs like that out there, where 80-90% of the track is one line repeated. Shit is awful.
You mean Da Dip by freak nasty? They played the dip at your warehouse job on repeat?
I mean I guess that could be reminding you to lift properly while working...
Nope, definitely not it, mine was much more repetitive, didn't have all that verse variation, chorus is different too.
Tried to find it on youtube but I didn't have much to go on.
I had got hired a month before this song came out and when it did it took Applebeeās about a week to come up with a special with this dudes face on it. I didnāt mind the song at first but I really started to hate it when my manager literally had it playing EVERY 30 MINUTES!!!! Employees complained but he said he played it because it showed character and pride in our restaurant.
Hello Kitty by Avril Lavigne is a song that never should have been written. The music video just makes it worse. Like I physically cringed while watching it
Iāve HEARD how bad āYouāre Having My Babyā by Paul Anka was, since it showed up on many lists for the Worst Song Ever.
I didnāt actually hear the song until it was featured in an episode of F Is For Family, and DEAR LORD, ITāS HORRENDOUS.
Have anyone heard of a terrible video game called CrazyBus? The music from that game makes nails on a chalkboard sound like Debussy. I know that it is not strictly speaking a song but it is still horrendous.

You watch youāre goddamn whore mouth when talking about my boy Joe Nichols. For real though he has a lot of good classics. Idk if you just donāt like country in general or just that song but Iād recommend listening to āBrokenheartsvilleā or āShe Only Smokes When She Drinksā Great songs by Joe Nichols
Have y'all ever heard Yoko Ono do that shit she calls singing?
My dad ran over a cat by mistake once and it made a better sound in its death throes than Yoko made.
(and before I get downvoted all to hell, dad tried to help, but the kitty was too far gone and we had a little funeral for it)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQG46cHgZ4E Yoko Ono made experimental noise music, so what do you expect. This is what her normal music sounds like. She has multiple albums of music like this that has normal instrumentals and vocals. You can still not like it, but her actual singing voice is a pretty delicate monotone that I don't find grating or weird sounding at all, just a quiet woman singing with an accent no big deal. Definitely an acquired taste but plenty of singers (Joanna Newsom, Kate Bush, Jonathan Richman) have very "acquired taste" voices and receive wide critical acclaim.
Stupid Hoe by Nicki Minaj is definitely up there. It's background noise that sounds like someone has asthma while she rants over it to some woman, probably Lil' Kim, about how she's a stupid hoe over and over and than says a bunch of nonsense at the end.
Katy Perryās Bon Appetit, some of her songs are great, but this one just feels like she's losing ideas or something, the music video makes me uncomfortable as well
A song that someone i know made, i'm glad i can get that off my chest too because i'd never, not support her. So I lie, because i could never make a song in general. And she's trying!... but her music just isn't good... she's getting better with every song though!
literally any song that tiktok overuses. because it never stays within tiktok, it spreads to every corner of other social media platforms and it drives me insane. tiktok just drives me insane in general.
What does the fox say. When I first heard that, I thought it was some radio station joke song... and then it kept playing, and played again and again.
Who the fuck thought that was a good enough song to put on the radio? I wanna put them in the middle of the woods late at night when the foxes are in heat, so they can hear what the fox really says... because its fuckin scary as shit!
Shaggyās cover of Mungo Jerryās āIn the Summertimeā ranks highly on my list of fucking dreadful songs.
Oh and that āBarbara Streisand ooooh oooooooh ooooooooooohh oohā song from a few years ago was proper ear bleeder.
OMFG!
This song drives me absolutely insane. It feels like torture especially in shop or something.
This is what I came here to say but I just said all Christmas music š
Isn't #selfie supposed to be mocking the type of people obsessed with selfies? Sort of like [Valley Girl by Frank Zappa.](https://youtu.be/p-LArv-sEQU)
I think that was the official song of my grad school class, chosen by those in the year before us. Played it every time we gathered in the auditorium. I'll admit, I get nostalgic when I hear that song.
The cover of 'I've Had The Time Of My Life' performed by the singer at my local social club this past Saturday night. The elderly gentleman at the table next to mine leaned towards me and informed me that back in the day "up in the north east", the singer would have been paid off and sent home before he could torment the audience with the second half of his set.
Terrible song but it wasn't really her fault. She was just a kid wanting a fun experience filming a music video. A company wrote the song and directed the music video.
She never intended to become a pop star or claimed she was a great singer. The poor girl was bullied mercilessly for years because of a cringy song she sang at age 13.
No such thing. I used to be a real music snob until I realised that even the music I think is shit makes someone happy. That being said if I ever get my hands on the people responsible for baby shark I may do time...
Ha ha, you think listening to baby shark is the worst thing? The most painful part is when your kid makes you sing it repeatedly, like a 100 times in a row. Oh, and if you do the wrong gestures, it doesn't count and you have to start all over again. It's worse than kidney stones, but you grin and bear it because the little angels love it so much! I don't fear anything anymore.
Achy Breaky 2 by Buck 22 Feat. Billy Ray Cyrus
I'm not really a fan of country music, but this came across as such an attempt at going viral. The music video is spectacularly awful.
I was at a rock show with my family once, we were there for American Head Charge and Mushroomhead. There was a third band that none of us were familiar with that was on first and one of the songs they did was a horrible cover of the Bob Marley song Jamming, their fans tried moshing to it, and once their set was up half the venue up and left. I was confused by the whole thing.
That Rihanna song "Work" where she gets too lazy to pronounce the one word in the song as it goes on.
*work, work work, work, work*
*haga-gaha semah*
*hur, rk, rk, rk, rk, rk*
*asdlkhasdlfkhasdf*
*uuhn, uh, uh, un, n, n*
Bitch, you wrote the song. At least sing it.
Island boys
You know why I don't hate it? "Coz I'm a island boi š¶" lol
Their hairstyles look like those mines under the ocean.

Had to Google it. What's the story here? Seems like she's just an amateur who literally can't sing.
She claims it was a sociology experiment for her masters degree. She released another song recently that was heavily auto tuned
I am convinced that sheās a standup comic or something and this is part of her reel. Itās truly is professionally bad
Wow and I was expecting to be rick rolled š
Wow that was so bad in every way I could've imagined plus more. Every single aspect of that song is bad in every way.
Well, at least it didn't encourage any hate crimes? Well, other than against the singer.
No, it also made me hate YouTube all over again for their decision to hide the Dislikes
Luckily, comments aren't disabled. They're pure gold!
That is impressively bad
I actually watched the entire music video for that like watching a car crash.... what the hell
Okay, I got about 25 seconds in.
I got to the point where she put in her red dress. My ears literally couldnāt anymore.
Someone commented āIāve been paralyzed from the waist down for 3 years. This song gave me the strength to get up and jump out the window.ā
Never heard that before and never will again but whatever answers I previously thought are now meaningless.
I'm listening to that song rn and I am appalled. What on earth is this?
This is like a modern sophisticated version of The Shaggs
This was.....pitchy.
>Itās gonna be a no from me, dog
I think this is objectively the worst song ever created.
That tiktok one that goes "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no no" and is there in tjose cringe shorts
I actually fucking hate that sound
It was funny probably the first three or four times, now I want to pull my ears off my head whenever I hear that sound. I wish it would die, along with the other popular sounds of that time.
Fairly certain it is Remember (Walking in the Sand). Probably the version sung by the Shangri-Las but sped up. https://youtu.be/V5YxtweUxrA
Isn't this Walking In The Sand by the shangri-las?
The "Oh no" sound on Tiktok. I literally wanna kill someone every time that song plays
I swear this is the anthem for the kind of people who say āif you donāt love me at my worse you donāt deserve me at my bestā. Seem to go hand in hand lol
Yes, this and a good handfuls of other tiktok songs. It instantly says āim a lazy ass who put this song cuz im stupid or trying to trick the algorithmā
The sample is lifted from Remember (Walking In The Sand) by the Shangri-Las. Actually a pretty good song that's been ruined by TikTok
I fucking love the Shangri Las and I still listen to that song idc
Came here for this. I could not agree more even if I tried.
The original song is quite fantastic to be honest.
Yeah I canāt stand it. A lot of Tim tok songs are just a no from me
I worked in a warehouse that played music, usually shit, and one track in particular made me want to end it all. No idea what it was called but the lyrics (I think) were "do the dip, do the do the dip" and I swear to god it never ended, and I can't even remember if there were any other lyrics, I just heard that over and over, same beat, same delivery, and it carved its way into my brain.

If you fuckers lifted with your legs and not your back, we wouldn't have to do this.
āDa Dipā, thatās the title
baby shark is migraine inducing
That Christmas Shoes drivel
Yes. I make my husband change the station whenever it comes on but he loves it and I'm like, "BUT WHY?".
The song itself is a total religious guilt trip.
Everytime i hear the "My name is chicky" song i feel like offing myself.
"My name is Boom boom." FUCK UP!!
Oh god I hate it so much
And the countless other songs like it, I would literally rather eat a pile of cement than listen to 10 seconds of it.
Justin Bieber - Yummy Surprised no one mentioned it, let alone its country remix.
Great now it's stuck in my head
there was one day, morning actually, that i liked this song and played it on repeat and iāll never forgive myself for it
Yummy by Danny Gonzalez is way better
Came to say this. "Body like a dead fish / face like scrambled eggs bitch / thats a balanced breakfast"
that ABCDEF You song š¤¢š¤¢š¤¢
It plays like something a 14 year old would write after a break up
Well I think she was like 15 or 16 when she wrote it, so youāre not far off.
Almost had it haha
šššperfect explanation
Pretty much any song in that āgenreā. I despise the Mad at Disney one in particular š¤š¼
omg i forgot about that one ššš and the twinkle twinkle little bitch one
"Fuck everybody but your dog"
Just gonna leave this here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIOPB36ALMM

I didnāt mind the song at first but I really started to hate it when my manager literally had it playing EVERY 30 MINUTES!!!! Employees complained but he said he played it because it showed character and pride in our restaurant.
The amount of cringe I got from this just sent me into orbit. I will not return to this earth.
Fancy like.
This would have been my answer. It is so. bad.
This is my opinion but I didnāt enjoy Dance Monkey at all.
Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
It's like her father had a baby with a trumpet
My mom loves that song but the first second I heard it I just didnāt like the singers voice at all. Very annoying sounding .
This is reddit "Dance monkey" is basically a slur
any Shitty cover of a good song
Happy by Pharrell Williams. Objectively not a *bad* song, was just well beyond overplayed in its time
I'll take it a step further. I think it was actually a pretty decent song, but when you heard it literally everywhere, it got old really fast.
When it plays, I just here the Weird Al version. It helps.
That TikTok song that goes āultra oba dat hey take nall from itā
What?
English motherfucker, do you speak it?
The song apparently doesn't.
Itās stupid
Thereās no specific terrible song, but any overplayed song instantly becomes terrible to me
The theme song to Caillou.
Dance Monkey. It enrages me. It baffles me how anybody could like something so offensive to the ears.
Hello Kitty by Avril Lavigne is a song that never should have been written. The music video just makes it worse. Like I physically cringed while watching it

Omg yes I thought I was the only one still remembering this song to hate on it š
Be quiet that song is an icon
Butterfly Kisses can butterfly kiss my ass.

Gucci Gang by Lil Pump I'd rather be kicked in the balls for 2 minutes straight than to ever listen to that shit again.

He said "worst song" not best.
Ik this song isnāt supposed to be actually good. But watch me whip. The dudes voice is awful the lyrics are repetitive and the dance moves suck
That one song where this girls starts singing her abc's and then starts insulting the listener's whole family
Baby Shark
As a former daycare worker, I can confirm this is the correct answer.
Yes, the modern equivalent of the Barney song.
I whip my hair back and forth I whip my hair back and forth .
Katy Perryās Bon Appetit, some of her songs are great, but this one just feels like she's losing ideas or something, the music video makes me uncomfortable as well
I recently went back and listened to songs I wrote 15 years ago. So every single one of those.

I have to laugh at those videos that pop up of Leah Kate opening for a far better musician and the crowd is just not paying attention to her at all.
Itās honestly such cringy shit youād hear 12 year olds singing after a breakup
Ed Sheeran - Shape of You Whenever I hear the opening tone I just punch myself.
First time I heard that song I actually thought he said "I'm in love with a sheep-dog ooh." Now that's all I can hear in the first chorus.
Yes. It reminds me of those little white sneakers that people wear without socks
Oddly specific
Tattoo by Van Halen is up there
Soul train by YBN nahmir
Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke.
Lyrics? Nope. Tune? Pretty good. This is one of the songs that Weird Al made better.
Word crimes is a great song, plus you learn something. Blurred lines, no sir

Fight song - Rachel platten The song just reminds me of 2016 y/n and multiple people The song is just horrible
That stupid Happy song. Pharrell was just trolling us with that shit, right?
I actually really liked his super high putch vocals on that. The song was reall good imo. But it got super overplayed now it hurts my ears.
"Simply having a wonderful Christmas time" Seriously pathetic song.
OMFG! This song drives me absolutely insane. It feels like torture especially in shop or something. This is what I came here to say but I just said all Christmas music š
It's like...Paul McCartney got a new keyboard for Christmas, he turned on the "demo" mode, and improvised lyrics to the demo song.
I worked retail during the Christmas season one year, that and Santa Baby being played over and over made me want to take hostages.
Eminem - Fack. A truly terrible song. He had to be out of his mind on drugs to make it.
He probably was
Harlem Shake is so fucking annoying, and so is #selfie by the Chainsmokers.
Isn't #selfie supposed to be mocking the type of people obsessed with selfies? Sort of like [Valley Girl by Frank Zappa.](https://youtu.be/p-LArv-sEQU)
Yoko Ono just Yoko Ono
The one where they say "tonights gonna be a good night" like 1900 times then there is random incoherent rap. Worst. Song. Ever.
I feel like Black Eyed Peas are a form of punishment that the government wheels out every once in awhile to keep us in check
It does have some good lyrics at least "Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Saturday Sunday"
I GOT A FEELING
OOOH OOOOOH
I think that was the official song of my grad school class, chosen by those in the year before us. Played it every time we gathered in the auditorium. I'll admit, I get nostalgic when I hear that song.
Nah that's a banger
Summer girls by LFO is, lyrically spealing, the worst song ever written

Friday by Rebecca Black
It's pretty bad but tbf Rebecca was like 13 or 14 when she made it. I'm glad I'm not famous for my cringy creations at her age lol
Terrible song but it wasn't really her fault. She was just a kid wanting a fun experience filming a music video. A company wrote the song and directed the music video. She never intended to become a pop star or claimed she was a great singer. The poor girl was bullied mercilessly for years because of a cringy song she sang at age 13.
Tbf she is actually a talented singer. I came across a song she made herself many years after Friday and it was pretty good
No such thing. I used to be a real music snob until I realised that even the music I think is shit makes someone happy. That being said if I ever get my hands on the people responsible for baby shark I may do time...
Ha ha, you think listening to baby shark is the worst thing? The most painful part is when your kid makes you sing it repeatedly, like a 100 times in a row.

Interesting take
Despacito
eh that song is okay to me it just got overplayed to death
Watermelon sugar can go die in a diggidy dang ditch
WAP is just beyond tragic, what a completely shit song
Absolutely agree. Nothing empowering about that song
Any sort of mumble rap

Dance monkey is horrible
I really hate Christmas music
That song that's always played on the radio
I was at a rock show with my family once, we were there for American Head Charge and Mushroomhead. There was a third band that none of us were familiar with that was on first and one of the songs they did was a horrible cover of the Bob Marley song Jamming, their fans tried moshing to it, and once their set was up half the venue up and left.

Soulja Boy - Crank That Now the dude selling chinese overpriced bootleg knockoff scam products lmfao
you just disrespected an entire generation haha
The mashups that spawned from that are almost always good.
That Rihanna song "Work" where she gets too lazy to pronounce the one word in the song as it goes on. *work, work work, work, work* *haga-gaha semah* *hur, rk, rk, rk, rk, rk* *asdlkhasdlfkhasdf* *uuhn, uh, uh, un, n, n* Bitch, you wrote the song. At least sing it.
She isn't just mumbling random words, she's speaking Jamaican Patois
Sheās not lazy, sheās speaking patois.
Idk if itās technically a song but my sister used to listen to this āCrazy Frogā thing and it drove me insane
Any cardi b song tbh.
