49. I'm Too Sexy, Right Said Fred (1992)
50. My Heart Will Go On, Celine Dion (1998)

Hey now, some of those songs are pretty good, I think. Some suffer from overexposure; they were overplayed to the point people became sick of of them, but that shouldn't take away from the song's original greatness.

Then again, some of those songs on the list are pretty awful.


50. My Heart Will Go On, Celine Dion(1998) - Come on! That's a good song. I'm not afraid to admit I like the Titanic song!

49. I'm Too Sexy, Right Said Fred (1992) - He's too sexy for his cat! That's funny!

45. Mesmerize, Ja Rule featuring Ashanti (2002) - So bad! Ja Rule can't sing and Ashanti can sort of sing but she just sing the same song over and over...

44. I'll Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That), Meat Loaf (1993) - But I love this song!

41. We Didn't Start The Fire, Billy Joel (1989), 42. The Sounds Of Silence, Simon & Garfunkel (1965), 43. Follow Me, Uncle Kracker (2000) - Why are these songs included?

33. Barbie Girl, Aqua (1997) - This is a silly song! How can anyone take it serious enough to hate it?

25. I'll Be Missing You, Puff Daddy, featuring Faith Evans and 112 (1997) - Why did Puff Daddy have to ruin a great Police song with his awful singing?

22. Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue (The Angry American), Toby Keith (2002) This song is terrifying! It makes "God Bless the USA" seem subtle.

9. American Life, Madonna (2003) - One rap about soy lattes and everyone's against you

4. Rollin', Limp Bizkit (2000) - It's a horrible song, but I don't think it's Limp Bizkit worst. That song about breaking stuff is worse

1. We Built This City, Starship (1985) - It's lame and just really strange in some parts, but is it the lamest? The strangest? I don't know

I can't believe they put the Beatles and the Doors on that list. How dare they! We Built This City on ROCK AN' ROLL!
