Top 20 Worst Songs Ever: No. 11

'Wannabe'
--Spice Girls (1996)

When these Brit birds invaded the U.S. in 1996 with this huge single, girl power swept the nation. The song was dumb and over the top but admittedly kind of fun ... for a while, anyway. The pop anthem eventually transitioned from guilty pleasure back to purely annoying pre-teen fluff.

Billy Ray is absolutely creepy. He doesn't even look like he showers and that hair us really bad, I can't figure out why he is still working.

Another great song of the times!

The writer must be a dull and boring newbie who apparently knows nothing about music history.

This is getting retarded. I know, This is a list of songs that were fads and in retrospect we should be ashamed to have liked them back then, right?

Eh, I don't know. Yes, it's a cheesy fluff pop-song. But I think that just puts it on a guilty pleasure list, not a "Worst song EVER!!!1111!!!" list.

LOL OMG whoever you are making this song, are you 12?! Anyone who had a brain during the time Spice Girls were big, especially if you were young kid/teen whatever like I was, knows that this song was one of the IT songs. Seriously man, ARE you 12? Or just dumb?

The Spice Girls?! You see, brothers and sisters, this is what happens when you let some 20 year old Millenial write what songs they think suck. This list is just as stupid as the one VH1 and that Blender magazine came out with on "Awesomely bad songs".

Arlieat 8-08-2008

This is clearly a joke. It has to be. Because any list of so called "worst" songs that involves the Spice Girls must be kidding. Or involve a song judging panel of fairly low educated listeners.
