I debated about starting this thread, but then I heard the song that motivated it in the first place, and I just had to write about it.
It’s the Kevin Rudolf song Let It Rock. I can’t help but think of this guy. I think the chorus is what really does the song in:
How about you: Are there songs out there that just sound like douchebag songs to you?
Feelin’ Way Too Damn Good by Nickelback was what pushed them from background noise on the radio to a band I actively change the station for.
The Manfred Mann’s Earth Band version of “Blinded by the Light” probably deserves some kind of Honorable Mention just going on enunciation.
Both of those are great! Nickelback seems to be highly correlated with douchiness in my experience.
I thought there would be more contributions by now, though. Oh well. Here’s another one: Asher Roth “I Love College”
Michael Buble’s latest single is kind of douchey. Or creepy.
I know that we can be so amazing / And baby your love is gonna change me
Or
*And I know someday that it’ll all **turn out */ You’ll make me work so we can work to work it out
Or
And now I’ve thought of every possibility
Or
I came up with a million excuses (and he doesn’t seem to recognize that one of them is) I just haven’t met you yet.
Maybe we should just call it delusional.

Wang Chung - “Dance Hall Days”
Ah, man, wasn’t it great when date rape was ignored, or blamed on the woman? Those were the days! :rolleyes:
Everything KISS ever recorded. Especially “Beth.”
I came in here to say Nickelback, but I see they’re already well-represented.
Some old-school douchiness:
Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
… seriously: “My Way” is without a doubt the douchiest song ever recorded. I just can’t decide which version is douchier: Sinatra’s, Elvis’s or the Sex Pistols’. Let’s just say that they’re each equally douchy in their own unique ways.
The douchiest performance in the history of douchebags: David Brent sings.
What about timeless douchebag songs, that douchebags of all generations can stand behind and go “FUCK YEAH!” whenever they’re played at a party or event? A few I can think of off the top of my head:
Billy Idol: Mony Mony, especially when sung with the “hey, get laid get fucked” and “hung like a pony” lines.
2 Unlimited: Get Ready for This
Gary Glitter: Rock & Roll
For a douchebag who realizes he’s a douchebag, see “What’s My Age Again?”
Thank you, that brought a tear to my eye.
This Party Took a Turn for the Douche
Here ya go: I’m a Douchebag by Taintsmasher.
Dennis Leary I’m an A**hole.
Yikes. I never actually knew the lyrics to this one. :eek:
Okay, I swear there was a horrible one by John Travolta. The title I’m Different Today (hey hey), not sure who it was by, but I am thinking David Soul. Anyone help?
My favorite moment of song douchebaggery is in the movie Nashville, when Keith Carradine is singing I’m Easy (YouTube) and practically half the women in the audience think that she is the one he’s singing it to.
