Released: 2022
Rating: 16890993671409306
First of all, CORPSE’s voice is so unique and wonderful, it's giving rainbows and unicorns. Even though this song is not CORPSE’s most listened to song, it is still amazing and deserves to be in the top three because it is so good. Not to mention the amazing collaboration with Scarlxrd and Kordhell.
Harry Potter in 99 Seconds, Jon Cozart
Released: 2011
Rating: 9999999
This is so impressive! The speed and quality is amazing, not to mention the performance in the music video is amazing. The way Cozart explained the whole plot of all eight books is so detailed. Cozart even sings with all the suspense that the Harry Potter movies and books have. Dumbledore would be impressed.
i’m A Scatman, Gummibär
Released: 2007
Rating: 1,995
This song is unbelievable, from the carefully configured lyrics to the amazing beat and seriousness of the song, Gummibär has done it again! He really is a scatman, and the best scatman of them all! Gummibär is the world's only singing and dancing gummy bear in the world, and he never ceases to amaze. I'd give this a one-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ninety-five immediately.
Dua Lipa, Jack Harlow
Released: 2022
Rating: 10000
First of all, Dua Lipa herself is amazing, but now that Jack Harlow made a song out of her–I'm amazed. Jack Harlow is so respectful of her and his singing is just so beautiful and romantic. This will have you falling head over heels! The way Harlow’s voice sounds with the beat, it just makes the perfect ballad. I truly think this song is so sweet and lullaby-like.
Baby, Justin Beiber
Released: 2010
Rating: 1oooo
Ok this song is my favorite, I love this and will willingly excuse all of the Haley Beiber and Selena Gomez drama for this song. Even though Justin Beiber was young when he sang this song, it makes it even better because it sounds so nostalgic. His chorus is so amazing that I will also forgive his 2010 hairstyle. I mean “baby, baby, baby, oh” is so original, I can't even imagine how much brain power it took for Beiber to think of that lyric. Also, I can't forget Ludacris’ part in this song, it fits so perfectly with Beiber’s voice, their lyrics and singing voices are perfect together.
Let it Go, idina Menzel
Released: 2013
Rating: 9000000
Frozen is superior to all other Disney movies. The movie, characters, and plot are all amazing but the music is even better, “Let it Go” being the best of the best (in Frozen 1). Frozen 2 does have some better songs than Frozen 1, but “Let it Go” is the best of Frozen 1. Idina Menzel herself is a queen, and no one, NO ONE, is better than her. To anyone who hates Frozen and its music, LET IT GO!
Friday, Rebecca Black
Released: 2011
Rating: 12/10!!!
OMG YESSSS!!! This song is the best 2000s song!!! It just makes you want to do some “partyin.’” I don’t want this song to end! Her lyrics are so unique, for example, when she says: “Seven a.m., waking up in the morning/ gotta be fresh, gotta go downstairs/ Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal./” Who would have thought she ate cereal? These lyrics are just fantastic, and to go with these fantastic lyrics are amazing freestyling. Black’s voice is so calm and natural, definitely no auto tune here.
Heat Waves, Kidz Bop Kids
Released: 2022
Rating: AMAZING 10/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This song, although originally made by the Glass Animals, is so good. The harmonies are perfect! I have never heard anything more angelic. Your kids will go crazy for this song. The way the kids singing this song perfectly capture the emotion is just so amazing. This song is kind of melancholy, and they totally sing like it. Glass Animals who? I only hear Kidz Bop now.
U Gurl, Walker Hayes
Released: 2021
Rating: BROKE. THE. SCALE.
Ok, everyone loves country, especially me, but this song dominates country music, and so does Walker Hayes himself. I don’t wanna stop listening to this song. A love song is so original! No one is doing love songs nowadays and we really need more country love songs. The repetitiveness of this song isn’t even annoying, it just makes it more catchy. The description of this “Gurl” is so descriptive and beautiful, it just makes me love the song even more.
The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?), Ylvis
Released: 2013
Rating: ∞
This song is amazing and I will belt it in the shower until the day I die. in fact, play it at my funeral. it was so amazing– from the riffs to the onomatopoeia, I am in LOVE! I mean come on, Ylvis is right, what does the fox say? This song is perfect for all ages, genders, and people! You will have so much fun singing this with your family. This song may be old and underrated, but it is the true secret to music.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Now that you have read about the best songs ever, here are some of the worst songs. Never listen to these songs, they are so bad. I think these artists were taking something, I don't quite know. But here they are, anyway. If you do somehow choose to listen, be prepared for your soul to break down. –Mackenzie L.
Livin on a prayer, Bon Jovi
Released 1986
Rating: -2
It’s not the absolute worst song in history, but I don’t understand why it’s one of the most popular 80’s songs. The 80’s must have had horrible taste. They just say “Woahh we're halfway there”, but where, exactly? Very unclear song, and makes no sense. It also hit past 1 billion views on Youtube? This is why it’s on our list of the worst songs.
Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen
Released 1976
Rating: -50
This song is so dark and sad. It’s kind of freaky, also giving the illusion that Freddie Mercury might kill someone. “Mamaaa, Just killed a man/ Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger/ now he’s dead” I'm sorry, repeat that again, “Now he’s dead?,” This song is so deadly! Definitely one of the worst songs.
Sweet Child O’ Mine, Guns n’ Roses
Released 1987
Rating: -65
I just think this song is so overplayed. Right when the guitar starts, it’s just an immediate no. It's giving how everyone feels about the drums for “Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster the People. Take it from Youareannoying magazine, “This song sucks. it sounds like a 3 year old screaming and scratching up the cat!” You read it. ScRaTcHiNg Up ThE cAt. There is no reason to enjoy this song. Let it die out, I guarantee that in 15 years this will become such an old, unwanted song. Let it die out, please, my friends.
Somebody Told Me, The Killers
Released 2004
Rating: 0
This is the closest rating to the Good Song side. I think it is a wonderful song. The pause in the music with only the beat of the drums, DUN DAN. That was prodigious. But then, on the other hand, it’s really not. WHO told you about the boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend, like what? There was also another song from the album, Hot Fuss, which is titled Brightside, which is about a girl with another man….
Either way, this song has horrid lyrics, but the beat is pretty solid.
Love Story, Taylor Swift
Released 2000
Rating: -24
To all of you Swifties as you call yourselves, why do you like this song? It’s just too lovey dovey, and ew love is gross. Man, this girl must have had some sort of breakup while writing this song. I'm assuming she based the song off the Romeo and Juliet story, and that is actually a really clever and fun idea, but definitely not the right play to base it off. I understand everyone LOVES Taylor, but why this song? To Cb, who suggested, why this song…
Like A Stone, Audioslave
Released 2002
Rating: -9
This song is also about death, coldness and emptiness. I actually took TiME out of everything to research this. The bassist of the band “stated that the song is about an old man, waiting to be reunited with all of his friends and family, whom have passed on,” from Steemit.com. But also, why is your website called STEEM-iT? That is a very, very bad name in my, personal opinion. I do feel bad because the lead singer committed suicide, as for him there was a lot to live for.
Kill Bill, SZA
Released 2023
Rating: -68
YET ANOTHER, song about death, and wanting to kill your ex. Like, I understand that you're all mad, but like that’s not a reason to say you are going to go out and just kill him! And his new partner too? That’s mean, and really no reason for it. Go ahead, go put yourself in jail and have fun locked away with your mind and emotions and…it’s just a song. *Just a song, I say as I take a breath to calm down from my rant. *
Good 4 U, Olivia Rodrigo
Released 2021
Rating: -19
This song is too boisterous and emotional, and pop. it was ok when released, but it just became so overplayed. Girl is too emotional, from veering between a quiet vocal range to extremely loud in a matter of seconds. Rodrigo was only, 8 when she released this song, explained FOLKLORE.EDU. I don’t know why she was given all this love when the song deserves to be crumbled up, torched to ashes, thrown into the waste bin and drowned to the bottom of the ocean. This song went far to the left, landing in this part of the article.
Smells Like Teen Spirit, Nirvana
Released 1991
Rating: -45
I liked the song when it was covered in Black Widow , the Marvel movie starring Scarlett Johansson. That’s it. The cover was way better than the actual song in the movie. But also, the cover of the main album? I just think Kurt Cobain was very antiquated or it sounded like he was smoking….He just went ahead and belted that strange voice out, for all to hear.
Break My Soul, Beyonce
Released 2022
Rating: -63
Overplayed, and not the best Beyonce song. She’s an astounding singer, and such a huge figure to look up to. But the best thing about this song is when her voice goes into a rasp while she's saying “Everybody.” I understand why everyone loves Beyonce, I do too, just not this song. It sort of sounds like a little kid hitting a cowbell continuously. There is no reason to love this song, it’s too old now. Or does this just show where popular music is going to go in the future? All cowbell-like and poppy?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Well, there you have it, folks. The best songs to listen to, and the absolute worst. The future is certainly bound to be amazing with music, as country better stay on top! Well there isn't much more to say, so how about a joke?
