It's annoying. It reminds me of the Razzies where everything is more of a hipster anti-popularity contest instead of a list of the genuinely worst pieces of media out there.

Also, I remember some researchers set out to make a "Best Song Ever" and "Worst Song Ever." Almost everybody who heard the finished products liked the Worst Song Ever much more.

And you are thinking of "The Most Unwanted Song".

"'Who Let the Dogs Out?' Exactly what I was talking about."

I also feel like the Wikipedia page is remarkably short.

^^ But you'd think multiple sources referencing how bad of a song it is would be enough.
