Formerly of Australian boy band Westlife, Brian McFadden is well versed in how to get his date rape on. Classy!
If you couldn't get enough of this shrieking harpy on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," now you can put her nasal drone right on your iPod. Has there ever been a more generic dance song? Ever? (Crabby sez: come back Paris Hilton all is forgiven, Next up Kim's version of The Breakup Song)
LMFAO - "Party Rock Anthem"
It seems like simple, mind numbing fun now, but I have no doubt that in 15 years, this will be the song that people listen to ironically at late 2000s-themed parties. They'll wear clothes from American Apparel, glasses that do nothing to protect from the sun or improve sight, and reminisce about how silly this shit was. I hope I'm wrong; with any luck it'll just be forgotten.
Design the Skyline - "Surrounded by Silence"
True, I don't have the taste for metalcore, but this is asinine, faux rage from the suburbs done by skinny white kids, so weak that even I could kick their asses. Good job, Victory Records. Are you proud of yourselves? It seems like these dudes were scooped up for their "look" and were told the whole music part will come in time. (Crabby sez: Ugh! The worst piece of crap music, screamo, emo, bad Linkin Part earnest harmonies, and Autotuner to boot, personal to Victory Records congratulations you just passed Curb Records as the worst sucky label ever.)
Brian McFadden - "Just the Way You Are (Drunk At the Bar)"
Bruno Mars - "The Lazy Song"
This is a song about jerking off and sleeping in a Snuggie all day. So rather than staying home and doing that, Bruno Mars wrote a song about it, and we have to listen to it. (Hey, has he caught that "Grenade" yet?)
Rebecca Black - "Friday"
Viral video turned virus.
Kim Kardashian - "Jam (Turn it Up)"
Jack White and ICP - "Leck Mich Im Arsch"
Everything Jack White touches is gold. Usually. Now, he's a failed alchemist who left this big, steaming pile of feces sweltering in the summer sun and called it satire. Not funny. (Crabby Sez: He did good things with Wanda Jackson that should account for something.)
Hot Chelle Rae - "Tonight Tonight"
This song is bad, but the lyrics are the worst of 2011. There's a classic episode of Zach Galifianakis' internet interview series "Between Two Ferns" where he interviews Charlize Theron. He tells her "[My girlfriend] looks a little bit like you and a lot like Dog the Bounty Hunter." So, Hot Chelle Rae decided to rip the joke and put its author as the butt of it. "I woke up with a strange tattoo/Not sure how I got it, not a dollar in my pocket/And it kinda looks just like you, mixed with Zach Galifianakis."
Lady - "Yankin"
What does "Yankin" even mean in this context? Whatever. Vulgarity gets you attention. NSFW. And crappy rapping on a cheap beat box too. Repulsive.
Limp Bizkit - "Shotgun"
They're baaaack. Thirty seconds in, this song sounds like it's been going on for three minutes. Then, it proceeds to carry on for well over four. It's kind of a metaphor for their career.
Limp Bizkit and ICP in the worst ten of the year? Same as it ever was.

Crabby: Don't know ANY of these Xcept maybe "Friday" -- if it's the 1 I'm thinking of, it IS pretty annoying, tho summa the lyrics R funny. If a song can make me laugh it gets past 1/2 my defenses no matter how bad it is (like "Hooked on a Feeling" or "Disco Duck").
Heard something else fairly recent this past week that ain't totally terrible -- hip-hop # with female vocals, asks why everyone's so serious, "we just wanna make the world dance/forget about the price tag/it's not about the ch-ching ch-ching/it's not about the buh-bling buh-bling/we just wanna make the world dance/forget about the price tag...." (Don't mean ta violate any copyrights here.)
Any idea who it is? I wouldn't BUY it, but it ain't hideous & I like the "life's too serious" message, & I don't usually go 4 much hip-hop stuff....
hey Tad, Since I'm not much into top 40 can't help you on the song in question. I can tolerate Friday by Rebecca Black more than Take On Me or anything Pink does but it isn't something I'd listen on a regular basis. That Design By Skyline is total pukedrool when I saw the link and video and could only stomach about a minute of it although the beginning wasn't too bad. As for Limp Bizkit, they haven't alter much since 3 Dollar Bill Y'all, which the title has to be the best thing they ever done, naming the album that. They're just here to annoy and irritate and they still do a damn good job of that ;)
