We were recently reminded of the aural Holocaust that is the Counting Crows and Vanessa Carlton's take on Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi," thanks to the Village Voice's recent countdown of the worst songs of the decade. We wanted to put an Asylum spin on that list so we asked you for your lamest songs of the aughts. Derek C.F. Pegritz calls out a song that spurs him to ultra-violence: "Black Eyed Peas, 'My Humps.' Every time I hear this song I want to destroy whatever device it is emanating from."
We think we figured out which song reader spikennanners was talking about, when he wrote: "that new york song. ugh. it's not as great as the song makes it out to be." Our guess: Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind." But, who knows? Maybe he means Ryan Adams' "New York, New York"? Or Interpol's "NYC"?
vaporware knows it's never wise to leave a cake out in the rain in this or any decade: "I thought every decade the winner was always going to be the 'tard (or 'tardess) that takes a whack at MacArthur Park. Ah, yes, Carrie Underwood is the culprit this decade." Indeed, vaporware. No one can improve on the epic original by Dumbledore himself: the late, great Richard Harris.
Finally, M suggested a song we fear will never go away: "That's easy - that Soldier Boy Superman Youuuuuuu song." (This comment required some decoding, as well, since the track is actually called "Crank Dat," and it's sung by Soulja Boy Tell Em, but we got the message.)
Thanks, M. Another addition to the list of the worst songs about the Man of Steel.

Ha! I had no idea what the real name of the song was, but I they say "youuuuuuuuuuuu" so many times I knew you couldn't mistake it.
