Pharrell — “Happy” (2013)
Clap along, if this song, is annoying during the pandemic! We digress. Everybody needs a little bit of joy in their lives, but “Happy” seems to make a bit of a joke of it, encouraging everyone to be happy all the time. The track was more popular than a piece of toast on a Sunday morning, but nevertheless, it got a fair amount of shade for its repetitive lyrics. Pharrell wasn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, so no he’s ended up on a pesky songs list. Twice.

Bruno Mars — “Marry You” (2010)
There’s no denying that Bruno Mars has one of the most beautiful voices in the world. His hits have reached millions of ears, but we have a bone to pick about one of them, namely “Marry You”. The song is cheesier than even the cheesiest of his releases, and truly sends the message that getting married should be a life goal for women everywhere. Let’s not forget he calls getting married “dumb” in the song, so we’re not sure anybody should be taking advice from the guy to begin with.
