rolling fuck this shit worst songs of 2015 thread

As we move to the end of the year, I'd like to drop a quick note to encourage any readers / lurkers / ilxors to post their least favorite tracks from this year to the thread so that I can hoover them into the ongoing spotify playlist. Last chance for any accessible stragglers that may not already be in the lexicon.

what was that one hysterically bad song about (iirc) Tinder dates, that got taken down within hours of the internet discovering it? I wanna vote for that based solely on memories of the one time I watched it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPS9Op5dhCw

no, that's the tobacco PSA one -- this was some weird earnest shit with a guy and a girl standing side by side staring into the camera singing while acting out their tinder date or something -- does anybody remember what I'm talking about? pretty sure it had its own thread, we may not have discussed it ITT

i think that video was taken down within hours of being posted. they were able to take it down before dying of embarassment, i guess

sounds about right:

The Horror of 'Tinder-Inspired Indie Band' Swype Right

I'm just gonna throw out some obvious choices for the playlist:

Fetty Wap - 679
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzz4Z-O7710

PSY - DADDY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrG4TEcSuRg

how dare you put visionary artist and leader of the people fetty wap in this thread! permaban pls

"679" is awesome wtf

i like 679

xp

I haven't liked any of the "Trap Queen" followups either.

i will also roll for 679

alfred won't you come my way

btw tonight I watched just far enough in the "(Let's) Marvin Gaye (& Get It On)" lyrics video to reach the line "Karma Sutra, show & tell" at which point I pedantically corrected the video by turning it off

... I didn't even stick around long enough for Meghan Trainor's guest verse(?)
& I feel bad that I lolled over the "We've got this king-size to ourselves" lyric

WE WUZ ROBBED

Sam Hunt's new single brings the Drake-style 'slide mid-sentence from talking/rapping to singing' thing to bro country

2015 might be the year I finally LOSE MY DAMN MIND if shit like this keeps being called country music.

I heard that sam hunt song on V103 this week.

It was on my ballot.

for some reason I find the cynicism of this Danish track very offensive, even though it is a bit of a jam

'Its the most wonderful time of the year'

Im not sure where to put this one as its obviously a song from another time, but here it is being played in Asda and in other shops. I like christmas a lot, there are fewer cars on the street, fewer people around, generally a relatively peaceful time of year, but this thing playing while you are in Asda which is packed with people buying bags of crisps that are bigger than their children is a belligerent act. I think the worst part of it is with most of the other garbage its time in the sun is done almost as soon as its replaced with something else, but this over-entitled moron smoking a cigar in your living room is never going to leave

I'm wrapping this playlist for the year. It has been updated with a few new adds (Kevon Carter, Bloc Party, Lukas Graham, Chris Homes, Brothers NYC) and includes every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.

huh this is sort of right up my alley musically. not sure what it's doing lyrically

ok i've listened to two songs and these guys are great imo

My gripe was with the clunky lyrics and the singer's vocals.

The parts of their bodies that make them horny.
