    Top 20 Worst Songs Ever: No. 3

    'She Bangs'
    --Ricky Martin (2000)

    Though the former Menudo singer's 2000 single was a hit, Martin's original version of the song was famously upstaged during the 2004 season of 'American Idol' by pop genius William Hung. He may have had no regrets at all, but Ricky might feel different.

    Agreed - I feel embarrassed for both of them when I hear this song (that uncomfortable embarrassment; when you wish you had a stage hook available.)

    I agree with you, and further I'd note, he has a slew of great albums and songs and has a great voice, but you can't make a gem all the time, this one was "not all that..."

    I totally agree with you on this one...it is pretty much a joke. Not only did that guy butcher it on American Idol but the song itself is ridiculous

    This song brings back great memories of laughing at William Hung on American Idol. I bought his Cd just to support him/for a fun Cd to laugh at. I plan on playing this song (or one that William Hung destroyed) for my Ex-husband's funeral (he he!!)

    Funny upbeat classic tune for the times.

    I bet Spinner writers just don't get it.

    Annoying, yes. Overplayed, not as much as Livin' La Vida Loca. Fun? Absolutely.

    This song, and the beat was so catchy, but the words had nothing going. It definitely got him some attention. But like many others, it now brings to mind the asian guy who thought he was doing a great rendition of it on TV.

    It was ok, not quite as catchy as Living La Vida Loca....but when you stop and think he's singing *she bangs* when he prefers *he bangs*....it takes any of the sexiness right outta the song.

    Uhmm...this list was almost perfect...until you decided not to put in Crank That by Soulja boy. The worst songer ever made! A disgrace not just to rap but to music.
