10 Popular Songs That Are Actually Terrible

I've never met anyone called Stacy before, but I feel sorry for anyone with such a name. To be haunted by such a song, to have it sung at you through all times of the day (I assume), in fact anyone is a victim once it's deemed you have a milf, this song has no remorse. Just hope your parents gave you an awkward name.

Written in 2003, the real-life subject of 'Stacy's Mom' is in fact the grandma of bassist Adam Schlesinger, with a friend of Schlesinger having a crush on her when they were kids. The song is a standard slice of American cringe on its own, but the added information that it's about his nan somehow makes the song even worse. Imagine your mate coming up to you and saying your nan was fit. How would that make you feel? Only dirty.

It has since been certified gold and earned the band a Grammy nomination, which isn't bad especially when you consider everyone thought Bowling for Soup sung it. My own personal grudge against this song is that a very young and innocent me had to ask my mum what the little boy was doing at the end of the video. Her saying "he's having a wee" and quickly changing the subject still haunts me to this day.
