3. Black Eyed Peas - "I Got A Feeling"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSD4vsh1zDA Truth be told, there are about a dozen or so songs by the Black Eyed Peas that belong on this list, but this is perhaps their most egregious contribution to my personal list of Terrible Songs Someone Must Be Held Accountable For. Now, I know some of you were probably quick to call this one of--if not the--worst song ever recorded. But that's simply an overstatement. Because as bad as this is, it's far too benign to be considered "the worst." There's literally nothing to this song. It's rice cakes and popcorn farts overtop a dance beat. It's aesthetically a high energy pop song, although the canned "singing" and heavy use of auto-tune strip any honest-to-goodness energy out of it. It's nauseatingly repetitive, sure, but the lyrical content (or lack thereof) is so bland that it could only offend someone who respects proper rhyme scheme. (They rhyme "up" with "up," "out" with "out," and "Mozel Tov" with "off." All in one song. Good God, ya'll.) It's a super-dumb non-anthem by a band who had gotten so confident in their image and their beat maker that they knew they could put out something this obnoxiously uninspired and still get drunk kids to dance their hearts out to it every time it came on. And it worked. But hell, if it keeps Smash Mouth's "All Star" off the jukebox just a little bit longer, then so be it.
