@junior these guys said to hold thier beer, cos they are under-age...
Great call. And I'll never, ever forgive Hanson for leaving Sam Cane on the bench ahead of that 2019 World Cup Semi Final.

Potentially good thread just becoming lists of novelty songs or good or ok songs people got sick from over exposure.
Of those mentioned. Definitely Smash Mouth's 'All Star'.
As in does actually quite well represent the era of the late 90s in its sub-genre of alt rock and hip hop blend.
The lyrics contain the quite (now cliche) but then probably quite 'now' phrase of "get your game on".
Combined with absolutely timeless cliches of "all that glitters is gold" and"only shooting stars".
Then making "mold" into 3 syllables.But jesus christ. The lyric are bad.
The tune is just meh, and of it's time.
I find the singers voice offensive too, it’s like he’s gargling staples.

Worst songs of eras, decades, genres, or of all time if you like.
Starship's We Built This City is always a favourite here.
This is worse:
Feels wrong to give you an upvote for that fucken awful song but there you go.
Smash Mouth say “Hold my beer….”
I'm not going to check by clicking on either of those links, but...
Are Barenaked Ladies and Smash Mouth the same band? -

Are Barenaked Ladies and Smash Mouth the same band?Judging by the quality of the music you’d think so

I'm pretty sure I couldn't name a song by either.
But - I think I vaguely remember the "style" of music... it matches their "style" of fashion/image remarkably well?
Summery-late90s-douche-baggery with a lingering aroma of certain-date-rape? -

@mn5 Cochrane is an all time legend....
.... in Canada
Wiki tells me he was part of The Red Riders (also legends ... in Canada) before going solo
He has won a plethora of Awards .... in Canada including Rock Hall of Fame Order of Canada and Grand Moose (OK I made that last one up - but you get it - he's one of the all timer greats .... in Canada)
He continued to chart (in Canada) throughout the 90's but since then appears to have been living the good life doing occasional charity gigs, accepting Awards, having a Highway renamed after him (the Tom Cochrane Life is a Highway Highway)
TBF being acknowledged as a music legend by Canadian's puts you in some pretty exalted company alongside (actually the Canadian Music Hall of Page inductees web page is broken but I'm guessing)
Sarah McLaughlin
BTO
Alanis Morrisette
k.d. laing
Shania Twain
Bryan Adams
Gil Evans
Anne Murray
Leonard Cohen
The Band
Guess Who
Neil Young
Joni Mitchell
Oscar PetersonThat's it I can't think of any musically gifted Canucks - no wonder they had to induct

The Cochrane song was pretty good.
I think he was held back by being a bit old (he was almost 40) and not good looking/ uncool (outside Canada) not because his first song was bad.
TBH, it is when musician's following up their hit with some pure mediocrity pushed by their record company - is when we get rich pickings for contendors for worst songs.

It took me a while to work out why I don't like Muse, and eventually I discovered it was the singers voice, as I quite like the actual music until he starts singing.
