Sisqo — “The Thong Song” (2000)
When the main premise of a song is about a thing, you know we’ve gone wrong. Forgive us waxing lyrical there, but that line is probably better than anything you will hear in “The Thong Song”. We say that confidently knowing that Sisqo used a truck as a metaphor for a part of the female body. Thankfully the world has moved on, and the track has died a relatively quiet death. Now keep it that way please, kids reading this.

Culture Club — “Karma Chameleon” (1983)
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon! We bet you didn’t even have to go listen to the song, and now it’s stuck in your head. Culture Club had the hit of their career with this particular song, which took the eighties by storm. Critics suggest that its structure was later used for a conventional style to write theme tunes for television shows for babies. These reports are unconfirmed, but here’s looking at you, Postman Pat.
