The Worst Songs Ever Written

We love listening to our favorite, personal playlists.  We all have songs on there that we love to sing along to, that we love playing at full volume in our cars, at parties.

They’re not necessarily GOOD songs, but they are songs that we love… and love to mock.

The 20 Most Common Words in Song Lyrics

You can’t stop yourself from singing.  You may not be very good at it, but you typically know all the words to your favorite songs.

There’s a reason why, after all these years, you’re still able to recite the Preamble to the Constitution, thanks to Saturday Morning TV.  Take some words, put them to music, and voila! Instant memory!

Top Paying Jobs for Women

Laurie Anderson released the song “BEAUTIFUL RED DRESS” (from her album Strange Angels) in 1989. Some of the lyrics included these lines:

well they say women shouldn’t be the president
cause they go crazy from time to time
well push my button baby here I am
yeah look out baby I’m at high tide

I’ve got a beautiful red dress
and you’d look really good standing beside it..

ok! ok! hold it! I just want to say something
you know, for every dollar a man makes a woman makes 63 cents
now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents.
so, with that kind of luck,
it’ll be the year 3,888 before we make a buck

Cee-Lo Green makes an awesome radio-friendly single (if “radio-friendly” means “nsfw”)

The song F*** You, from Cee-Lo Green‘s upcoming album The Ladykiller. How can you not want to blast this at full volume as you drive down the road, singing along with the windows rolled down? 

That’s what Web Watch has been doing – join in the fun!

Besides, Web Watch likes any artist who will rhyme “Ferrari” with “Atari”.

Full NSFW lyrics below the break, if you don’t want to read ’em in the video itself.
