Meghan Trainor — “All About That Bass” (2014)
Meghan Trainor, a 1950s housewife, want to be, stunned everyone with the success of her song “All About That Bass,” which gained popularity first for its catchy hook and then for her curvy figure. Unfortunately, Meghan was promoting only one body type in the process, rather than a more inclusive message about all types of bodies and skin tones, which was a great irony. All these years later, we’re sure she sees it as a missed opportunity.

Pharrell — “Happy” (2013)
If this song is annoying you during the pandemic, clap along! We’ve moved on. Everyone needs a little bit of happiness in their lives, but “Happy” appears to make a mockery of it by encouraging everyone to be happy all of the time. Although the song was more popular than a piece of toast on a Sunday morning, it received some criticism for its repetitive lyrics. However, Pharrell wasn’t attempting to reinvent the wheel, so he’s not on any annoying song lists. Twice, in fact.
