The world's most hated songs

I'm definitely not trying to be political here. But I was fascinated to learn via this mornings news that playing songs from this "list" is becoming an accepted way of attempting to disperse crowds. A sonic fire hose if you will. I wonder if how this makes the songwriters feel? What songs would you blare from a loudspeaker if you needed to disperse a crowd?

To me terrible songs are not about being terrible… many are great in some way. What makes a song terrible to me is overplay.

for me that terrible song is living la vida loca. Why? Cause one summer i worked in pei canada and there was only one radio station of note at work. And they literally played that song 8-10x a day every day for the four months i worked that summer job.

and i am a total metalhead… but some of the death metal stuff just makes me laugh to tears. I had a death metal compilation album when i was younger and it literally made me laugh so hard till i cried. 100% true story.
