Is 'My First Kiss' featuring Ke$ha the Worst Song Ever?

Pop music, by its very definition, is supposed to be disposable. Sometimes, though, a song comes along that attempts to lower that bar further still. Devoid of musical or lyrical imagination, it is a song with production so over the top and simplistically ham-handed that the audience wonders if it's even real music at all.

3OH!3's "My First Kiss" featuring Ke$ha is real. In fact, it's Billboard Hot 100–real, and 6 million YouTube views real. Needless to say, we felt Gladstone would be just the man to take this song down a peg. And he does just that, in his latest installment of Hate by Numbers.

I don't really agree with you on this one gladstone. I mean, this really shoud've been titled, "Why I hate 3oh!3" which is a perfectly fine title for an opinion piece, but you never really said why My First Kiss was a bad song. While I personally like it, you could've talked about it's overly simple lyrics and the fact Kesha is in it but you just hated on their video and dance moves. I can answer a couple questions though.

Their symbol is 3 fingers, an o, then another 3 fingers. 3OH!3

His dance here is really similar to them in concert, I'm pretty sure he just wings it for stage presence.

Gladstone probably assumed that once people heard the song for themselves it would become redundant for him to point out why, musically, it is horrific.

Upon further inspection, because I've got time like that, the symbol in the background looks like a gaping vagina. So that would make it a symbol for Ke$ha as oppose to one representing their lack of testicles.

The amount of fingers being held up is significant as well. That is both the minimum number of guys she will sleep with at one time and the number of STD's she creates on a daily basis.

Why isnt everyone going nuts over this? Miley Cyrus comes out with a song called "Cant Be Tamed" And everyone freaks but these guys say things like" Can I get you out your panties" and its ok. Im not a huge Miley fan but like her ad her song WAY better than this song. Its stupid!

The song is bad although I do have to give some points for being creative and original, but the video was freaken awful. I knew I wasn't crazy when I thought that the video was sort of overly cheesy when I fist saw it. As it turns out other people think it's bad to. I guess I do have a good taste in music lol.

I don't like this song; it's throw-away, iTunes/MTV-inspired dance pop. That doesn't make it the "worst song ever".

I'm cool with Gladstone, but if he keeps throwing around the "WSE" title a little too often (remember Black-eyed Peas' "Tonight..."?), the label is going to lose its punch.

No, that Black Eyed Peas song was still worse. This was just forgetable. Seriously, I hardly remember it, and I just watched it.

I don't agree with this review at all. It's not trying to be a musical masterpiece...it's just a fun song with a cheeky video. You wanna tell me that other popular songs on the radio are miles above this one in ANY terms? 3oh!3 does not take themselves too seriously and that is why I like this song. It's pop music...stop taking it (and yourselves) too seriously!
