I'm ready to proclaim a winner for "most bafflingly awful song of the year," not to be confused with "worst song of the year."
I know it's only June, but I'm confident that no song released in the next six months will be more bafflingly awful than Wheatus' song about Obama featuring MC Lars.
Listen: "Change the World (Black Precedent)"
"Retract a whack precedent, elect a black president!"
[pause]
I'm sure McCain is crushed that no one's recording shitty songs about him.
Edit: Earnest shitty songs. Shitty parodies of shitty Obama songs don't count. That includes "Raining McCain."
other bafflingly awful songs of the year:
• Rehab – "Bartender Song"
• The Pharcyde – "Passin' Me By (Hot Chip RMX)"
• It's The Life Of FALCO On The Big Screen!
• I Think We're Alone Now documents Turner and McCormick's obsession with pop singer Tiffany
• George Michael 'may thwart Wham! film'
