'Unhappy Birthday'
--The Smiths (1987)
If 'Happy Birthday to You' is considered the most popular song in the English language, then you'd think this fiendish rejoinder would rank reasonably high just from the blowback. Morrissey, who is worshipped in several languages for his unadulterated bitchiness, may have reached a venomous saturation point with this gleeful toodle-oo.

I thought this should have been number one. The other song that comes to mind is "Untouchable Face" by Ani DiFranco. I suppose you couldn't use too many curse words, though, eh?

There is a little device called YouTube or possibly MySPace. These songs are EVERYWHERE. Look these songs up already!

Black Sunshine, I was 18 years old in 1987, if the song was popular I would have heard of it! I used to write an article for my high school newspaper in the pop/rock music section. This was not a top ten song my senior year of high school.

Shouldn't Rihanna's "Take a Bow" be on here too? That song was quite mean.
