OnlineMusicBlog recently conducted a poll of OMB readers to determine the most annoying songs of all time, and the results are in. Below (with editorial comments) are the 10 most annoying songs as determined by our readers.

10. Meat Loaf, “I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)”: Won’t do what? Put us through 12 minutes of musical hell?

9. Los Del Rio, “Macarena”: Stupid lyrics plus a reinvented chicken dance equals annoying hit.

8. Aqua, “Barbie Girl”: Barbie meets Horny Robot Toy.

7. Crash Test Dummies, “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”: Can I buy a vowel, please?

6. Ricky Martin, “She Bangs”: Only slightly less annoying that William Hung’s version.

5. Right Said Fred, “I’m Too Sexy”: They were too busy being sexy to have any intelligent lyrics.

4. Gerardo, “Rico Suave”: Rico Who?

3. Eddie Murphy, “Party all the Time”: Donkey, shut up already.

2. Vanilla Ice, “Ice Ice Baby”: Mindless white rap for rap wannabes.

1. Billy Ray Cyrus, “Achy Breaky Heart”: Country music to clog the arteries.

Honorable Mention:

Britney Spears, “Womanizer”. How many times can a song’s title be repeated in a single song? Might work well as a new drinking game though.
