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.
Not Since Carrie: Forty Years of Broadway Musical Flops
And that’s the premise behind VULTURE’S LIST OF THE 150 SCHLOCKIEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN, They’re all popular songs that we all know, songs that we’ve all heard millions of times but make fun of anyone who says that they’re their favorite songs.
Just because we love ’em, doesn’t mean they’re any good. Let’s take a look:
- Over the Rainbow
- Purple Rain
- Don’t Stop Believin’
- He Stopped Loving Her Today
- American the Beautiful
- Endless Love
- How Deep Is Your Love
- Both Sides, Now
- Old Folks at Home
- Only the Lonely
- Are You Lonesome Tonight
- I Have Nothing
- I Will Always Love You
- Danny Boy
- The Winner Takes It All
- After the Ball
- I Want It That Way
- I Will Survive
- My Mammy
- All in Love is Fair
