The Strangeloves — “I Want Candy” (1965)
We can only imagine how many people got more cavities than they bargained for after hearing this song while watching or listening to a commercial on television or radio. “I Want Candy” is still one of the most covered songs in the world, decades after it was first released, and there are remixes for almost every genre of music you can think of. Repetitive? Sure. Nostalgic? Beyond a shadow of a doubt.Even if only in moderation, we approve.

The Muppets — “Mahna Mahna” (1993)
We can’t claim that there are any meaningful lyrics in this song. Nope! There are no lyrics in the song. Instead, it simply repeats the incomprehensible title phrase repeatedly, dumbing down the children who are listening. Sure, it was a big hit in big-screen movies when it came out. However, we’re sure that parents all over the world wanted to kill Kermit and his pals for infiltrating their child’s mind with such a mind-numbing piece of music.
