I'm not sure, but it's probably by The Fiery Furnaces.

The lovely lady lumps, of course. ~~Hands~~ humps down.

I feel so lucky: I don't think I've ever heard this.

"Shake It Off" - Mariah Carey
"Listen To Your Heart" - D.H.T. (The song sucked the first time around and did not need to be remade)
"My Humps" - Black Eyed Peas
"These Boots Are Made For Walking" - Jessica Simpson (I like the original. She totally ruined it.)

I'm not fond of Franz Ferdinand, Rogue Wave or the new one from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Kanye West is pretty unlistenable to me, also.

Holy hell. That's the first time I saw the lyrics to that song. So when Weird Al does it, is he just going to sing it verbatim?

Anyway, I'm not very good at this least favorite stuff. There's a Bright Eyes song that drives me nuts. About being perfect for each other or some shit.

Crazy Frog - Axel F

"You're Beautiful" by James Blunt. I want to commit murder every time I hear it, the kind of run amok with a chainsaw murder.

It's truly horrible. He has a whiney, falsetto voice, and the song makes no sense - he sees a girl on a train, he fancies her, he says he's got "a plan" but ends up by caterwauling that he doesn't know what to do because he'll never be with her. Lucky woman. We've been stuck with him for months...

I hate it. I absolutely fucking well hate it.

"Humps" by a mile. First song in recent memory to actually make me throw up in my mouth a little.

"Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On."

I don't really hang out in places where i would hear some of these bad songs, but I did come across a monstrosity while channel surfing through CMT, called "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk". I will humbly add it to this list.

I'll take a year of crazy frog over 24 hours straight of the "lovely lady lumps"... In fact, perhaps I'll try some crazy frog therapy right now, since everytime I see any -ump words the evil thing starts going in my head. I'm not sure a song ever made me feel like beating someone senseless before.

My nieces listen incessantly to country (and tend to turn it all the way up, and leave the room, so it's on all over the house). I can tolerate old-school country (Cash) and alt-country (kd lang), but damned if I can take much more "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off", "Girls Lie Too", "Jesus Take the Wheel" (my nieces put their hands in the air at the appropriate verse -- they don't get it as metaphor), "Some Beach Somewhere", etc.

Also, "I Love This Bar" (they actually prefer "I Love NASCAR" and think the "bar" one is the ripoff).

And I have a certain affection for songs as bad as "My Humps".
