To give context to Brad's opinion on "Thunder", he once listened to it for 6 and a half hours straight. He is the utmost authority.
And he had listen for 2 more hours after that
that can make you hate a lot of songs
@@0m1ett You can probably survive a song you really like but something like thunder is just straight up death
Why did he do that 😭

To those people who aren't aware, Avril is a huge star in Japan. She is so big to the point where she has to record Girlfriend in Japanese. She also sang anime openings in one of One Piece movies and Annie Leonhart's character design from attack on titan was also inspired by her. She is also the first western artist in Japanese history to have three albums in a row to sell over a million copies in Japan. Avril has also lived in Japan for a few years, can speak little Japanese, and has multiple clothing line store in Japan. It make sense why Avril made Hello Kitty (and the fact that her directors, producers, etc. are all Japanese while making this vid) because her career wouldn't be as big as she is now without the help of her Japanese fans, hence I doubt she made Hello Kitty out of mockery.
Chad Kroger co wrote it
Sounds like the song made sense to make than.
With this context I don't think it's bad at all.
That makes it understandable WHY it was made. But, it doesn't make it not incredibly fucking cringe. It's just soooooo white with a capital H. This song has a shitty mall katana collection and a ponytail.
Speaking as a person who has been to Japan twice, likes anime, is learning Japanese, and looking to live in Japan next year.
@dyllwill on the contrary, this context makes the song much worse -- she definitely should have known better than to release something so disrespectful!
I’m Norwegian here’s some backstory behind the fox. It’s a comedy song meant to be heard once on their comedy show. It was meant to be bad and obnoxious. Ylvis themselves were incredibly shocked that it became a hit.
still a bad song just like a lot of joke songs on here
I can't believe people said Chug Jug With You is a bad song. That little child nailed the delivery, creating a perfect meme song and you know it.
Um actually, chug jug with you wasn’t made by a little child
@@leprechaunlaketrue, it's just a guy that sings in this child-like voice
@@nonmagicalwitchit’s lil Pump?

@@sideways5153Fr, they just don’t understand independent art like that

The fact that Meghan Trainor is literally missing right now
Beds are Burning is an Australian protest song about protecting aboriginal people's rights and land. It's got a fantastic history, and if you love niche politics, their discography is incredible.
I was shocked with what they were saying it was like they didn’t listen to any of the lyrics
I just know that band was really big in Australia, but only had that one hit here in the states. Seems like a similar situation to Blur
ay tf, is that song featured? that song is sick
my jaw dropped when i saw it was on this list i was like the hell is this doing here
One of about five, pre-1996, that should not have been here.
Seriously, aside from ACϞDC and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, do you Americans like Any of our bands?
badger, jesse pink man and skinny pete
LMAOOOO
The best thing about these brackets is that youve got such a good mix of terrible songs by respected musicians, terrible songs by terrible "musicians", and songs that are like "poopy dick butt fart song by pinky ponk and the tinky tonks" and you have to make an argument about which one is worse.
100% agree, no doubt. but the question being brought forth is an interesting one, how bad are those, i'll call them 3rd party songs, hold up to AA and Professionally made song.
I think bad music is as beautiful as good music for that reason. it's the equivalent of a worst art bracket where you had to choose between some DaVinci throwaway that he hated, one of Adolf Hitler's paintings, and a third grader's yellow splatter special
@@johnjsonbro your analogy is perfect 😮
@@brandonijames2784 Thank you, that one took me a minute
Also if you guys ever do a part 3 of this, I nominate "Chap Hop History" by Mr. B the Gentleman Rhymer
the fact that chug jug with you is even on this list is a criminal offence. the raw emotion that kid lays on that track is enough to make a grown man weep and the change from "but I'mma like what's underneath them" to "but not the underneath yet" is a display of pure genius. I say it with my whole chest when I tell you that it is better than the original, and I will forever stand by that.
I appreciate it just because a kid actually made such a decent sounding mix and out themself out there. I hope that kid is doing great !
The way he sings is so ethereal, I woulda shut off the video if this moved on even once
It will never hold a candle to the original, but it was pretty decent.
It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it's honestly pretty fun. Really doesn't belong here.
You’re right and I’m glad you said it. Easily better than the original. American Boy should have been on here if anything
I think the wildest thing about Id Rather Die by the Tramp Stamps is that at least one of them was married to a straight white guy when they wrote and released it 😭
is she dead now?
@@gurnwallaceI hope so.
@@gurnwallaceher career sure is
As an Aussie, putting beds are burning on this list is an atrocity. That song is a banger
I am not even close to a massive Midnight Oil Fan, and of the Midnight Oils' songs I've heard, Beds are Burning isn't even my favourite, but I instantly paused the video and yelled "WHAT!?"
@@murri7329 I am guessing some patron is just an Aussie racist. If you check the YT comments on that song, there's so many apologists for the displacement/genocide(?) of aboriginal people
Right??
Most Australians (even I didn't until a few years ago) know why we have "Boundary Street"s in most major towns.
Like, our history is WAY more fucked than you ever learn in school.@@mortenbund1219
Beds Are Burning is arguably the worst Midnight Oil song and it's still a good song with a deeper message than 99% of popular songs. Brad shitting on it made me lose all respect for Brad. I love the Oils. Saw them on their farewell tour.
Listening to Brad straighten out Graydon and Riley's catastrophically bad takes added at least 5 more years to this life sentence
Kinda facts

@@MotMotTheBot stop stalking me i know your past
nice to see you guys captured another victim to play your games
Brad is the one doin the capturing🧌
This comment made me laugh fr ngl
Dignans handiwork
Brad, blink once for yes and twice for no if you are being held captive
This isn't a recent thing, Riley has been their prisoner for decades
I think the best summary I can think of when I think of Hello Kitty is in the paraphrased words of a different RUclipsr, that yes it is true that Avril is loved in Japan and made Hello Kitty for her Japanese fans and they were largely happy with it, but the song is so _bad_ that you assume the worst because you just assume there is no way a song that sounds so awful actually has good intent behind it 😭
I can see your point, but I personally believe that anything that is adored by the target audience is inherently good because it did exactly what it set out to do
seeing brad not in front of a Spotify window or genius lyrics is baffling to me
These guys should probably do a guilty pleasure bracket
A good amount of these would be on there
@@X3vivi yea, fair point
It would be fucking unwatchable because there would be songs worse than Dance Monkey on it and they'd be defending it
fantastic idea itd be so wonderfully hard to watch
@@user-br2gi8kh5sSongs that are worse than Dance Monkey? 64 songs at that? Is something like that even possible? You know, as long as we take out the racist/misogynist/anti-LGBT etc. anthems out of the equation…
I always knew Brad was a full blooded communist but voting for the United States National Anthem as the worst song of all time seems a little extreme
I thought this was just a joke, so I was very surprised when this actually happened
lies, brad's famous catchphrase is DETROIT TILL I DIE MOTHAFUCKA, he would never betray the great american motherland
In all seriousness, it’s really not a great song.
Radioheads National Anthem is way better
Kazakh, Azerbaijani, Turkish, and so many other anthems are good
the US one is sooooo bad though
Tonight tonight is vapid, but it's supposed to be vapid, 7 years is vapid but is trying to be sincere.
How do y'all *hate* 7 years? 😭 Am I just too easy to please I think it sounds good. Like many of the songs on this list I've never had a problem with it
@@RozKounelakion my personal opinion as someone who doesn't like it, the lyrics tell a completely made up sob story that markets itself as real, keeping that in mind while listening to the song just ruins the emotional tone it aims for, also I find the singer's voice annoying, and while he does a decent job at selling the emotion, I just can't stand to listen to it. When it comes to emotional pop ballads, which i'd argue inherently have an emphasis on tone, vocals, and lyricism, this song fails in the aspects it is supposed to excel in and emphasize. While I don't think it is the worst song (as a musician, I think the chord progression for a sad song is pretty neat, and the instrumentation is decent), and I'd easily listen to it over something like Game Over by Falling in Reverse, or the far, far worse Lukas Graham song, Strip No More, it just isn't a good song IMO. There are simply better emotional pop ballads out there. If you like it, that's fine. That's your opinion, your enjoyment, and it doesn't affect my opinion or lack of enjoyment just like mine shouldn't really effect yours. And if you want another opinion on it, i'd recommend watching Brad's review of the album it comes from, Lukas Graham.
@@cirriform idk aren't like all song sob stories made up? And what is made up about 7 years isn't the song about the guy saying what he hopes his life is like as he grows old? Did his mom not really tell him to make some friends when he was 7 is that what we're mad about
@@RozKounelakion no, not all song sob stories are made up, who told you that? I'd love to see a source on that. I'm sure some are like 7 years (I can think of one other example at least), but some aren't. I appreciate and find *more* overall enjoyment in ones that come from an actual genuine place of experience. For example, the entire Twin Fantasy album by Car Seat Headrest is a great example of a song with a heartbreaking story that comes from a genuine place, especially the song Beach Life-in-Death. Listened to the whole thing yesterday in tears. The lyrics for Beach Life-in-Death are heartbreaking, poetic, relatable, and the fact that they come from a place of authenticity increases the emotionality they carry and invoke. There's something about the fact that an actual human being going through something tragic and painful and putting it into art that increases the tragedy and pain of the art they make. I don't really know how else to describe it.
Also, I will rescind the statement I said earlier about the song being completely made up especially after watching his genius interview. For the most part, this song does seem to come from a place of authenticity. He gets points for that, my bad. Coincidentally, his mom actually did never tell him to make friends according to his genius interview lol. Anyway, want to clarify, I'm not mad at the song. Some people are; I am not one of them. So there is no "we" who are "mad" at anything currently (unless someone who is wants to join in this chain).
That all being said, even though the song is provably authentic, I still don't like it. Going back to my personal standard for what qualifies as a good emotional pop ballad, especially one with a lyrical and vocal focus like this one, I find his voice incredibly grating to the ears and cannot enjoy his emotional delivery of any of the lyrics. Once again, and I cannot emphasize this enough, it all boils down to personal preference. I'm not going to listen to the song because I don't like his voice; my dislike for his voice is enough to make me dislike the song.
I believe I said something similar in my original reply, but I'll say it again: if you like the song, his voice, the lyrics, then that's your preference, your opinion. Don't let my opinion, which is the opposite of yours, interfere with that. I don't care that you like the song. That objectively doesn't affect me (unless you want to make it affect me by like, idk, trying to kill me because I don't like it like you do, then that affects me). Just wanted to explain why I don't because you asked. Anyway, if you read all of this, hope you have a great day.
@@cirriform ay you have a good day too bro. And yeah honestly what I meant when I said that all song sob stories are made up is that even if every single "song sob story" was fake it wouldn't make a difference to me if that makes sense. Like, for sure I would like a song more if the experience described is provably authentic but since I don't care enough to research every song I like, it *seeming* authentic is enough for me lol
My boss at work is always singing rude by magic! but he is convinced that the lyrics are "I'm gonna marry YOU anyway" and it always makes me laugh because that part of the song is being sung to the girls dad 😂
wait that's not what the lyrics are??????
@@littelcreatchure506 "I'm gonna marry that girl, marry her anyway"
Fight song is basically just the anthem of an Americas Got Talent Golden Buzzer for someone who had an emotional backstory
Literally.
Michael Moore 2016 election video
nailed it
You don't have to make up a pathetic scenario for the song, it was already the anthem to the 2016 Hilary Clinton campaign.
You’re going to Hollywood!!!!!
3:30 brad is completely right. i remember being in a club here in the uk one time when they played american boy and NO ONE was doing the original lyrics, it was a whole crowd of people singing chug jug with you even though the original song was playing. just imagine if they actually played chug jug with you lmao.
fr, it was such a good song when it dropped that first couple days, but I could see people being nostalgic for it now, but in general it'd just go so hard in a club cause it's surreal in that setting.
I wish I could have been there. That sounds amazing.
It's come on a few times here in Australian queer clubs, potentially due to the Steven Universe context it eventually gained (Estelle voices the best and gayest character)
But yeah we also reference the Fortnite version every time too.
As someone who absolutely fucking hates the Fortnite version, I would much rather listen to Yummy though.
Currently going through fent withdrawals and watching this is really reinforcing the number of poor decisions ive made in life as this may be the worst experience of my life and for some reason i love it.
goddamn i am my own sisyphysian trap
Opioid withdrawals suck couldnt imagine fent, it is worth it though. It took me so many times to realize it. Currently almost 5 months sober and i only just realized how much better my life is now. Ive gotten farther than this and relapsed so many times but its because it takes time so see why im really keeping on doing this. Hope youre doing better now man
crush the boulder
The fact that not a single Corey Feldman song isn't on this bracket is understandable. Because any of his songs would win.
A Corey Feldman Song almost won the first bracket. This is part 2
Your wording is very weird 😂
Bold of Brad to associate himself with a group like Hivemind. Especially after what Diggy said in '09.
Brad is lucky Dignan didn’t show his face the day he was there.
Yeah, it would’ve been better with Graydon
Why do all the chaotic RUclips personalities have the same joke 💀
I was there when he said it. Never forget it.
bro we don’t speak about the actions of 09…
Fun fact about Avril Lavigne’s Hello Kitty:
It was actually surprisingly well accepted in Japan when it was released, but everyone else found it so unbearable
It was made because Avril is super popular in Japan and she wanted to appeal to that audience (from what I know). She even did a How You Remind Me cover for a One Piece movie
@@SteveDHacksaw it was also partially because avril lavigne loves hello kitty, and has an entire room in her house dedicated to hello kitty memorabilia. i think she just legit likes japan and is a bit out of touch, but sincere.
@@shadycatz85 I can totally see that in the song. It’s a bad song but I do think some of the offensiveness melts away with context. Less offensive and more awkward
White people tend to over blow the offensiveness or racist connotations with any piece of media when it's aimed/targeted at cultures or skin colors other than their own.
Basically, if the Japanese weren't offended, you can count on some white person being offended for them.
Yeah, when I traveled to Japan to visit my uncle, as soon as I left the train station by Shibuya Crossing, over a loudspeaker I heard the song playing and I was like, "Hold up, is that Avril Levine? The hell?" Certainly NOT the first song I expected to hear in the country
As an Australian that knows the full context behind Beds are Burning, that even being on the list feels wrong
Just for context, Ylvis made The Fox for their skit-show and they specialize in making corny songs really fast and they’re basically supposed to be dumb and for some reason that song blew up like crazy. They hate the song themselves too so.. 😂
Putting an Onision song on this bracket almost feels like fixing a match.
I’ve been saying they should put I’m a Banana on one of these
in a similar vein, what if they put you done goofed on part 3? it could be a shoe in to win
At the same time though even mentioning that any of his music exists feels worse because you know how much of an attention whore he is
The deep burning hatred Brad feels for Thunder is what I feel for Fight Song; that easily could have won the whole thing for me.
it's very funny you say that because I'd never connected the two before, but they elicit the exact same feelings from me
True
FIght Song and Good For You are tied for worst for me
I was hoping for ME! to win over Fight Song, but it's not even the worst Taylor song. Bad Blood, Shake It Off, You Need To Calm Down, and a bunch of songs off Reputation are arguably worse
that’s me but with fancy like. played all summer when i worked at splash country.
I had to do Fight song for choir 😭
That SpongeBob song beating centuries is a crime
Eh, I agree with what they did. You'll only really hear the SpongeBob song if you're watching the movie, but Centuries is both annoying and _fucking everywhere._
@@josephschultz3301okay but their judging on how good the songs are and the spongebob one is definitely worse
“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so." - Nixon
"chug Jug With You is a fucking peak masterpiece." - Anton Ego
Brad was doing everything he could to save this bracket from the fate of every Hivemind bracket ever but unfortunately he was outnumbered
fighting the good fight and it does not go unnoticed
We need 2 guests on the brackets for a bigger chance of actually making sense. Then again, would a sensible bracket winner even be a Hivemind bracket?
It still ended in his favor at least
Was looking for a comment like this lol don't know either channels but the two hosts have garbage opinions and you can definitely tell the brad dude hardly agreed with them
@@kickz2828lol its known that brad hates all music and hivemind's opinions suck ass. Thats why we love them
My personal "7 Years" trauma was some years ago in English class. We were all allowed to listen to music while writing a short story and this guy sitting next to me ONLY listened to 7 Years by Lukas Graham for the entire hour we were given. He turned the volume up so high I could hear it through his headphones and through mine. It was funny at first but when he kept on going I just began to lose my mind, but after enduring it for 30 minutes I couldn't just suddenly tell him that NOW it was too much, so I had to passively listen to him blasting his eardrums with the same annoying song for another 30 minutes straight.
I do not get the appeal of it. A soft little ballad could be refreshing among the hits of the time, but it's one of the ultimate repetitive song structures I've heard, even how the backing for most of it is that same little music box tune.
I'm surprised that song didn't go further. it's idk if it's worse than Thunder, but it's worse than Double D-z and Game Over for sure
i think i used to listen to a Nightcore version of 7 years on loop while playing a sonic game on roblox
@@mariesyvian8187 that's true enlightenment right there
I’m sorry that 100 percent was me
man Chug Jug with You is a certified hood classic, if that shit is played at a party everyone getting turnt
Bro if that came on I would bust it down sexual style on the dance floor like a quirked up white boy who just might be goated with the sauce. That hurt me to say, I was speaking algorithm, I want to go back to Shakespearean english
wow, you guys have SO much chemistry. This was so entertaining.

Now that it’s been mentioned I would love to see a “worst fanbase bracket”
NeoPunkFM already did this
As a Nirvana fan it’s Nirvana. You labeled a fake fan if you like smells like teen spirit, which is imo a perfect song and the anthem of grunge and just a masterpiece. But nah to be a “REAL” Nirvana fan you gotta like the most obscure Nirvana song that only 72 people have ever heard in history.
Damn I ranted way to hard in this sorry 😂
Swifties and BTS army would clear
@@undriftedpop788 for me it’s Tom Macdonald fans. If you critique a single thing about his song his fans will say “that’s the point You’re supposed to be triggered and that’s why he’s a genius” and “look who’s jealous” . It’s not because of his politics (even though they are crap) it’s just the fact I’ve never seen a fanbase that rabid and filled with that many annoying people AND IVE BEEN ON BTS TWITTER.
Putting midnight oil on this list is a war crime
I wish I knew what a “bad song” means for these three. I also would like to know what a good song means to them. I’m genuinely interested because this was certainly an interesting video and I liked watching it. Also I liked The queen de baby joke, I thought it was funny.
They recently made a bracket like this with their favorite songs. Each chose 32 favorite songs and went against each other, it’s a great video
Thank god hivemind had a guest over that would say Yummy is garbage, if they just both agreed its a good song and moved on i would have lost my mind
Trust me, Brad would not have let that shit slide lmao. He almost never holds his tongue on musid
it would have literally been the opposite of #1 victory royale
I'm just disappointed he didn't mention the Country Remix with Florida Georgia Line. He may do later on, I haven't finished the video yet
not sure if you're familiar with the music review channel ARTV at all, but in one of his videos (I think it must be the worst songs of 2020), Yummy is the worst song of the year and his entire bit about it is so funny. You should check it out
This is honestly one of the best HIVEMIND videos to date…
Graydon is hilarious and energetic.
Brad is thought provoking and honest.

I have to wonder if it's just a transphobia thing. I don't think I've ever spoken to someone irl who actually thought the song was bad.
I'm not a big hyperpop fan in general, to be honest. I can't really judge the song since I don't enjoy the genre in general. Yet, if most hyperpop fans enjoy the song, I don't get why it's in the bracket.
@@claires1063 i didnt even know the artist was trans, the song just makes my ears bleed
@@vincentcircharo8259 That's wild. It's extremely inventive and energetic. Very forward-thinking music, sonically.
i mean brad and riley were both like "what the FUCK are you on about for suggesting this. money machine is the best fucking song ever shut up" about it, which I think is the right reaction
"i'm in a spaceship; don't talk to me about Jake Paul" may be something I need on a t-shirt.
you can tell brads energy is depleted more and more throughout the whole video
I mean, this was an almost 2-hour video that was edited, they could have been there for way longer. That's a LONG time to listen to shit music lol
Yeah from what I've seen in streams he doesn't have a long running steam engine for creating, which isn't bad at all, I hope he takes more frequent breaks.
Just deflating like a balloon
Did he ever have any? Lol
I'm so happy to see the country representation in this bracket. I work at ace hardware and hear "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" once every day. I have inched closer and closer to the locked cabinet of dangerous power tools everyday and at this point I'm so close to my breaking point.
No one should have to endure that 💀 I’m so sorry
at least its not dirt road anthem
This is me with Owl City Fireflies, every fuckin day at lowes
ace gang! i swear i hear ordinary world by duran duran ten times a day. like i don't mind the band but i can't listen to that song anymore
Good god I'm so sorry for your ears
i have a buddy that in eighth grade gave a heart felt teary eyed presentation on jacob sartorious’ sweatshirt. played the song for the class and didn’t break character until after the clas ended. one of the best memories i got of middle school.
I’ve never heard so many great and also terrible takes in one video

Also, as a Norwegian I feel an obligation to give some context to The Fox: Ylvis is a late night show lead by two brothers, and they sometimes put songs in the middle of their show as a little gag. It just so happens that this particular song blew up, for some reason. So no, it isn't a kids song, but it was also not made to be a sincerely good song. It's literally just a bit from a late night show lol

When Brad leaned back I realized that they are sitting at a table set in the right corner of a room
As a proper Dad watching this, all I can hear is, "I can't believe that Lil Buck Buck and Fast Kid Dog Face ever did a track with Young Guy Never Something, but I'd dance to it."
Hivemind finally having a guest with good takes and having him be immediately and repeatedly outnumbered just seems so frustratingly fitting
I swear his takes were on point.
name one time where this happened because his takes were frustrating me most of the time
it’s almost like different people have different music tastes!
@@m00nrac00npoing!
they agreed like 99% of the time lmao
Would love to see a worst album art bracket!
that’d be amazing, please do that hiveminders
Fax
Probably Nav’s angels and demons I think is gotta be there It doesn’t even relate with the singles that had the actually kinda cool covers from the album
Probably that one MGK album cover would win
@@jacobkalbfleisch5431 oh your probably talking bout Something anarchy
Riley and Grayson gotta be neruotypical because at a neurodiverse party, Chug Jug with You is going to blow the ROOF off that damn place.
u think this graydon guy is neurotypical by any metric. i dont even watch hivemind that much but that man is a freak of nature
these itty white boys are so sweet and funny. like a toddler showing you a bad recital of his favourite disney song from tangled
This collab is so good, usually Hivemind guests try to mirror the established vibe but Brad just is his own thing in a way that complements the Hivemind™ vibe perfectly, it’s like salt and caramel ✨
Literally perfect analysis, I like a lot of the other guests, but Brad just being himself worked so well
it’s like babies and montreal steak seasoning haha perfect combo hahaha😂
And Brad is definitely the salt 😂 in a good way, of course
16:03 timestamp for when Brad hears Krabby Step for the first time and loses his fuccing mind while Riley turns up kinda and Dignan just stares at Brad in confusion
Appreciate you!
Appreciate you!
Appreciate you!
Appreciate you!
Appreciate you!
Not even 10 minutes in and my backwards radio station in Australia still plays the first 3 songs to go through as current hits.
I love Brad's disgusted and tired face by the time Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" started playing. He's so over it all lol
Brad is right to call listening to “Thunder” torture. You could force someone to listen to it all the way through just once and you’ll get all the information you need from them.
Yup, I don’t think imagine dragons is as bad as they generally make it out to be, but Thunder is an all time torture track.
Listening to anything by Imagine Dragons is torture.
@@okami_eddy radioactive is kinda good. just that though
@@Weaverlord alot of their songs are good
@@Weaverlord Never listened to Radioactive, but I like Believer, Enemy (Arcane Version), Sharks, and Bones. I don't really listen to any others though because I'm scared I'm gonna click on one of their songs and it's gonna be another Thunder situation
for reference, ylvis made "the fox" with the intention for it to fail really badly for some sort of comedy bit, but it ended up blowing up. when they talk about the songs in interviews you can tell how much they hate the song lol
Ylvis makes some really great music. Stonehenge is a banger
@@lunar..eclipseI love the Stories from Norway series, especially Northug and The Andøya Rocket Incident. Sadly they removed one of my favorite albums called Volume 1 from Apple Music.
all three of yall look like tony hawk underground characters
HIVEMIND 1 MILLION VIEWS 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
The Fox was written as a joke for Yylvis' sketch-comedy show in Norway. It was never meant as anything more than a bit. It's probably the biggest accidental viral song, ever.
Dance monkey though
@@rowan2313 dance monkey wasn't accidental
it was the original mans not hot
As a Norwegian myself I find it hilarious that people actually take this song seriously, when the same duo is some of our most famous comedians, with other parody or joke songs like "the cabin" or "stonehenge". In a way they are like a norwegian Al Yancovic, but they arent doing this to make music, but to make fun of the content.
Hello Kitty by Avril Lavigne was actually made for her fans in Japan because it turned out she had a huge audience there and I think they really liked the song actually
hope they did
Yeah I remember feeling offended but it turned out that the song is quite beloved in japan, so I felt pretty stupid haha
it reminds me of one of the animated shorts of betty boop being also dedicated to her japanese audience, she even sings a bit in japanese
Its almost like they should stick to reviewing music instead of giving the shittiest npc political takes for half the video
Avril Lavigne was always about some Japanese shit, Hello Kitty was just more blunt about it
This video feels like the two popular kids who have a different girlfriend every week inviting the stone cold incel to hang with them
I don't know what point exactly it happened but the collective decision to just pretend that they don't mind all these songs to drive Brad nuts was something else
it would be cool to see a "billions club" bracket. theres enough diversity to be unique i think. theeeere may or may not be about 450 songs in that club but who wouldn't welcome a 12 hour hivemind video?
maybe they could narrow it down to the top 128 most streamed? or split it into multiple videos?
oh by billions club i thought you meant a billionaire bracket, which would be a fire idea for hivemind unlimited
@@prodjakera lmaoooo that would be fantastic
just a 64 most streamed songs of all time bracket
Facs
You know you've made it when famous guests feature on your show. I'm sure it wasn't easy to get in contact with Macaulay Culkin, but I'm very happy it worked out!
i had this video playing in the background and i was so caught off guard by that one bit of 'what does the fox say' that i physically reeled backward in my chair
I can’t believe Uzi Vert’s CS didn’t get picked over Oliver Tree. Sure life goes on isn’t good, but at least it’s a *song*. Uzi’s cover sounds like a pair of school buses crashing
I really like that simile
Uzi Vert’s “CS” will go down within the ‘20s decade’s top 3 worst songs. Along with Dance Monkey.
Centuries somehow being voted worse than whatever the hell that SpongeBob shit was is the most baffling thing
Fr they had the most atrocious take there 😂😂
*cries into my AB//AP CD*
krabby step fuckin slaps
the beat fucking slaps on krabby step, i want to actually rip my ears out when centuries comes on
i had the same reaction as brad when the krabby song played i can’t believe they fr did that 😭
half of these picks feel more like they should be on a "which song gets played too often" list than a "which song is actually the worst" list
Fr
ya, snake eyes by demondice is worse than almost all of these songs
Yeah but having a really fucking shit song that nobody knows is no fun at all.
TRUE
True. Centuries, Thunder, Rude, and We Will Rock You felt forced.
hearing y'all talk about getting head to the song that has deep childhood memories in me because i heard my teenage sister listening to it when i was 4 is an experience
they made such a big deal of how irredeemably offensive Hello Kitty is and then shoehorned in a totally weird unnecessary AIDS joke five minutes later
did u cry
We *literally* studied Billy Joel's we didn't start the fire in social studies. Covered every verse and what it meant. Not sure if that makes it better or worse, but how many other earworm songs can do that? The biggest problems with the fallout boy's version is a) it fucks up the format (the original was largely in chronological order, this one jumps all over the place), and b) its got quite a bit of just "touchstone's" and not "societal ill" which then completely manks up the chorus.
god i love the canadian education system
“These two are entertained by jingling keys” I fucking love Brad 😭😭😭😭
Never heard of this channel but i laughed out loud multiple times. Subbed
Surprisingly Avril Lavigne's Hello Kitty wasn't a totally random cash-grab. It was a cash-grab, however Lavigne was immensely popular in Japan, so it made sense from a business perspective. She was the first Western artist to have three consecutive albums sell over 1 million in Japan. She was - and possibly still is - far more popular in Japan than in the US.
This is super interesting
There is a reason the term "big in japan" exists. A lot of Western artists have had this happen.
Tho I didn't realize she had that much of an effect on the Japanese market. That's big numbers.
@@TheNukeGeneralyeah, for example art blakey is an unknown musician to the average westerner but he's so massive in japan. he was such a celebrity there, that he was absolutely stunned by the amount of support.
@@le4chehenry324 yeah. I can confidently say I've never heard of them. That's crazy.
Now you guys just gotta do 62 more of these then make a super bracket featuring the winners of all 64 brackets
This!
There are definitely enough bad songs. Different guest for each one too
so many songs left out, dance monkey, old town road, anything from chainsmokers, bts, goosebumps…
@@beaualoevvgoosebumps is a banger what
@@thrpotatoasfgfejfidieiidkr7071 cap
Money machine is an absolute bop though
100 gecs fucking sucks
horrendous take
@@shkkrimp7344is that your opinion on money machine or gecs overall?
@@shkkrimp7344 money machine and 100 gecs are fire asf
literally what brad and riley said though
Beds are Burning goes hard. It's a protest song about land being stolen from native Australians.
In defense of the Ken voice in the Barbie song! As a former little girl who played with barbie dolls, whenever i wanted to talk for Ken i would juet make my voice sound as deep as possible to make a 'guy voice.' Many of my little girl friends also did this for Ken/boy dolls. So i always pictured that was what was happening in the barbie song!
Also the song is clearly about sex as a commodity / objectification of women, so how would Ken be not a creep in such a song?
@@zeropluslessthan5126 Yeah, I always assumed that Ken in the context of the song was portraying some sort of ultra masculine archetype to contrast with Barbie's act, so the voice made sense. The whole song is clearly social criticism. I mean, the woman literally sings about being a blonde bimbo when she ain't even blonde, she's clearly being sarcastic.
@@babyxblue Oh yeah, I forgot that bit. Great point 😁. Maybe it's not so much sarcasm as her adopting the stereotype though she doesn't fully conform. Like the Barbie & Ken models are these hyperbolic "ideals" that we're supposed to try to embody though we all differ.
Also that guy is in the band. That's his voice. What do they want him to do?
I wish brad would’ve vocally said soundboard noises
LUKAS GRAHAMMMMMMMM
@@alexanderblack5626I think he’s just shitted his paaaaaants
he did say "DETROIT TILL I DIE MOTHERFUCKER" so
Well Brad did pull out the FUCK ALL YOU HOES, DETROIT TILL I DIE MOTHERFUCKER atleast
🍫 ⭐️ 🐟
Chug jug with you is just one of those songs that even if its bad, you just vibe to it
congrats on your first 1 view y’all!! 🎉🎉
I had a neighbor kid who would blast Thunder by Imagine Dragons off the speakers of a “swagtronics” hoverboard and I’ve never laughed at someone at such a close distance
That kid fucking rules, he's the White Boy Messiah
Haha these comments are awesome
That is probably one of the most 2010s thing to ever happen
I would also laugh
My hardest point and laugh like a cross between nelson and adam sandler moment was watching a lunch lady who was hell bent on just being a crotchety hack getting slammed in the face by a volleyball.
I know it didn't actually happen, but in my mind everytime i replay it, rhe entire gymnasium got silent for the 2 seconds leading up to it, and my violent screech of a laugh was the only noise her face turned bright cherry red
".....GGG-ETOUTGOTOTHEOFFICEGETOUTOFHEREYOURDONEFINSIHEDYOUSLIMYLITTLE[insert an endless litany of long forgotten and mostly unknown eldritch racial slurs directed straiggt at your faithful and honest narrator]
It was fucking hilarious and the principle just told me to quit picking on her because she has a tough job(looking back i don't disagree.... but if you get pelted in the face like that someone HAS to point and laugh, especially if you didn't take an injury)
Bonus detail i just remembered(that took place before the story above): I recall another instance i took a basketball from someone and was running away with it, when i was accidentally blasted with a basketball by another student playing knockout, fell and slammed my head on the gym floor.
That same lunch lady was laughing(not obnoxiously) at what had happened as she saw the whole thing play out.
About ten minutes later i got real feverish and hot, and dizzy and ran to the bathroom to puke.
Went home and ended up getting a CAT scan(or one of the brain scans, i forget which one) and found out i had a concussion.
Looking back.... nah, i don't feel bad for laughing at her(i will admit i was a menace and asshole overall though, but she kinda had it coming)
as an aussie, one of their criticisims of Beds are Burning being the "weird vocals" is so funny bc it literally just an australian accent
Ngl, Australian accents are hard to use for music vocals (I don't even have the typical accent type and I struggle with pronunciation in singing)
But it's kind of special, it makes the regional context of the song audible in the track. It reminds us that the band has experiences in Australia in mind.
It's not a bad song, either. A little too earnest, perhaps, but when was the last time anyone heard that song in the wild?
I'll hear it on the radio sometimes. I like it though so I don't mind
@@lilpetz500I guess it works in some cases though, "Smoko" by The Chats is a pretty good song (this is coming from an American btw). Should probably check out their other stuff now that I think of it.
Uh… not really. That song definitely has some weird vocals in the verses
I hope they do a new one just so i can hear them shit on grippy
had a blast watching this. brads takes are so on point, graydon is so effortlessly funny (as always) and i fucking love riley and his little moustache
Hot take: I don’t think a song’s popularity should factor into bracket performance. Instead of selecting a song because it’s “inescapable”, ask yourself which song you would prefer to be inescapable.
Suggestion for next bracket: “Among Us in Real Life” by Rebecca Zamolo
nah among us in real life is a banger, squid game could be in best songs bracket
As much as I think I'd like for that to be a factor in a vacuum, I don't really think that can work just because there are so many songs that people hate simply because their memories with it are rooted in excess radio/store play. Song like High Hopes by P!ATD or Friday by Rebecca Black or Baby by Justin Beiber are not as immediately bad from front to back as something like Fack, sure, but I do think it's entirely fair to immediately despise one of the first three more due to subjective and commonplace experience because music is swayed by the time and place you experience it. Placing yourself in a situation where "Fack" would be getting as much radio play is completely unrealistic and would therefore break down a whole lot of this bracket from "really bad songs you've probably never heard mixed with songs you probably remember for being annoying and everywhere" to "really bad songs you've probably never heard". I just don't think this bracket would be anywhere near as relatable and fun if all of the songs were actually just garbage with next to no common play anywhere and culturally a lot of the "bad" of songs are defined by the situations in which they are used (like the mmm whatcha say song being turned into a meme because of it being made fun of and popularized by that one SNL skit, making that song nigh on unlistenable now).
@@solodude3937 Good point. There’s definitely a distinction between “worst” songs and “songs that deserve the most hate”, but this video acts like they’re the same thing. I get that the video is easier to market that way, but that doesn’t mean it won’t bug me a bit
@@solodude3937Also I think it’s a mark of a great song to be overplayed and yet not hated. Losing My Religion by R.E.M. comes to mind
@@somewhatoriginalcontent yeah that totally makes sense and I agree to an extent. having mumford and sons pop rock ballad #14 make it to top 8 over something like tom macdonald and his racist gang of dumbfuck losers is kind of ridiculous
