The Newbeats — “Bread and Butter” (1964)
Three men screeching? It’s a tough pass for us. Who’d have guessed that these sweet-looking gentlemen would be content with releasing a song that enraged the masses but sold a lot of records in the process? The song is literally about basic food that we all cook every day, as the title suggests. You know, it’s not exactly a ground-breaking dose of creative expression. We’re curious if the guys still play the track to their partners just to annoy them a little bit these days.

The Coasters — “Yakety Yak” (1958)
It’s catchy as hell, but not always in a good way. “Yakety Yak” (yes, you read that correctly) is basically encouraging anyone doing their daily chores to keep quiet and not share their frustrations. It’s the ideal recipe for turning someone into a serial killer. Baby boomers around the world are cringing at the thought of their parents telling them to “listen to the lyrics” when it was on the radio on a Sunday back in the day.
