The OOT Worst Song Ever Poll

[mack23]

Let's settle this, pick the worst 5 of these 20 songs discussed in the other thread and we'll see which song gets the most overall votes:

[Senor Cardgage]

I honestly don't see the problem with "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

I was a teenager when it was popular, and it was so severely overplayed it is ridiculous. That, and it is just [censored] annoying.

It's amazing that these two posts are back to back

BECAUSE

"What's Up"'s verse is BLATANTLY plagiarism - the melody is taken directly from "Don't Worry, Be Happy"

Try it for yourself (there are some syllable differences, but the main melodic movement is nearly identical):

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill
of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood
of man
For whatever that means


Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry
be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry,
be happy...


Linda Perry admitted to being very paranoid about her songwriting later because she was afraid her songs might sound like another song. She didn't steal the melody on purpose, but there's no mistaking the similarity.

As for this poll, neither song deserves to be on this list by a long shot.

Ouch. I took the most mentioned songs from the other thread combined with what I considered to be the most annoying songs from 3 website lists of worst songs ever. Tried to be as diverse as possible. I suppose a more appropriate title would have been: "Most annoying song that at one time was quite popular" Poll? Suggestions welcome, criticisms unnecessary.
