Vanilla Ice — “Ice Ice Baby” (1989)
We’re not going even to try to sugarcoat it. The intro to this song is nothing short of legendary. Anyone who hears it starts bobbing their heads and tapping their feet immediately. Perhaps that’s why it topped the charts in the United States in the late 1980s and why it’s made it onto a list of some of the most vexing songs to worm their way into people’s heads. Regardless, this is a timeless song.
Celine Dion — “My Heart Will Go On” (1997)
Try to come up with a more romantic song than this one. At any time. “My Heart Will Go On” is one of the most popular songs of all time, and you could probably ask anyone on the street to sing the chorus, and they’d be able to. Is it a cliche? Yes, of course. When you’re trying to concentrate, can it get annoying? Without a doubt. After all, there’s only one Titanic. We’re curious if Celine still enjoys singing it as much as she did when she first recorded it 25 years ago.
