OK, here it is!  This post is the continuation to its predecessor (available HERE) and highlights what I feel are the five DUMBEST pop songs that came out in 2014.

 

I want to make it clear; Dumb does not necessarily mean bad.  Sometimes, they coincidentally ARE bad, but not always.  It really just means that the lyrical content or some aspect of the some was so odd I was dumbfounded as to how it became popular.  So, here now I present to you the five dumbest songs of 2014:

 

#5: Tove Lo - Habits (Stay High): A reading from the book of Tove Lo: "I eat my dinner in my bathtub, then I go to sex clubs, watching freaky people gettin' it on."  "I get home, I got the munchies, binge on all my Twinkies, throw up in the tub, then I go to sleep."

Need I say more?

 

#4: Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass: You see, "bass" means her butt.  While catchy, for some reason this song made the whole world LOSE THEIR FREAKIN' MINDS!!  This light-hearted song about embracing a woman's curves inspired countless unfunny parodies and could be heard EVERYWHERE!!  Heck, this song was even performed live on this year's Country Music Awards.

 

#3: Nicki Minaj - Anaconda: Before Kim Kardashian posed for the cover of Paper Magazine, Nicki Minaj's more-than-ample-posterior "broke the internet," at least in terms of Vevo.  On day one "Anaconda" had more than 19,000,000 views on the music video streaming service.  While I love this song, it doesn't take a genius to recognize this is a STUPID song! (WARNING: Explicit lyrics in the video)

 

#2: Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball: While technically this video came out in late 2013, much like Taylor Swift's 1989 was released too late to win a Grammy next year, "Wrecking Ball" was too new to be eligible for dumbest song last year.  Just think back about how the world reacted to seeing their beloved Hanna Montana riding a wrecking ball in the nude.  Collectively, this dumb song made us lose our minds!

 

#1: The Chainsmokers - #SELFIE: This song does EVERYTHING right for being a dumb song.  It has a hashtag in the title.  Annoying EDM production.  Trying to funny and failing.  Speaking not singing.  Trying to be topical with current fads.  Not coincidentally, this happens to be my pick for WORST song ot the year (coming early 2015).  This song is not only my choice for DUMBEST song of 2014, it might be the dumbest hit pop song EVER!
