The Black Eyed Peas — “My Humps” (2005)
Nobody gave a hoot about a song called “My Humps” when it was first released. However, the song catapulted the Peas into further international superstardom and helped them sell a decent amount of their then-new album Monkey Business. It was overtly sexual and flaunted lead vocalist Fergie in ways that wouldn’t fly today. All you have to do to find out why it made a list is read the lyrics. We guarantee that one visit will suffice.
The Four Seasons — “Sherry” (1962)
The Four Seasons was known for incorporating some of the strangest sounds into their music, some of which were created by the members of the band themselves. “Sherry” is no exception, and it was particularly adept at annoying people whenever it was broadcast on the radio in the 1960s. Unfortunately, we’re just waiting for one of the new kids on the block to try and modernize this classic.
