Maybe it’s just me, but I really want to punch [this guy](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H5uWRjFsGc)in the face.

I knew there was a reason I hated that song. :mad:

Can a woman be a douchebag? If so, I nominate Ke$ha (yes, that’s how she spells it) and her song “[Tik Tok](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP6XpLQM2Cs)”

Goodness yes. Rocking out to a convicted paedophile isn’t the most suave posture available.

[This is the douchebag-iest music video of all time.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1fzJ_AYajA) It practically defines the term. If I were going to make a parody video making fun of douchebags, it would be just like this.

I’ve never heard of them before, but you are correct—that’s a video that should be watched through a nozzle.

Wow. I actually _like_ Steal My Sunshine, but the video is…yeah.

I always associated [Who Let The Dogs Out?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He82NBjJqf8) with fratboy d-bags, personally.

Can I nominate 95% of whatever Huey Lewis and the News ever put out? Just because I HATE them? Or does it have to be a particular song? Oh, all right, at random I pick “I Want A New Drug”. Ick.

I bet [this song](http://eclipptv.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=5065) from Family Guy qualifies.

A wise choice. After all, because rock & roll is the devil’s music, it’s particularly efficacious at applying the Law of Contagion to those unwise fools who listen to it.

Unless I misunderstand the meaning of douchebag [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK99cB3s-J4&feature=related) has to qualify.

Apparently all of us who survived the late nineties were douchebags\*. Yikes. 1996-2000 was a troubled time for rock music.

\*I know “Butterfly” and “Rollin’” were both from 2000, but I’m counting it as part of the Nineties.

I Love that song! The song is not the singer!

Either the guy in “[Gallery Piece](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkg9C2b6RlY&feature=related)” by Of Montreal is a dochebag, or psychotic. Toss up, really.

…I want to make you proud  
And play with your head  
I want to take you out  
Make you feel adored  
And buy you everything  
I want to hurt you bad  
Make you paranoid  
And say the sweetest things…  
So damn catchy, though 🙂

What about that 60’s song “Take A Letter, Maria; Address it to my wife.”

We-e-e-e-l-l-l, technically, that guy was provoked.

The rebound shit was a little douche-y, I’ll give you that.

Guys, common. How many posts before someone has to mention [Limp Bizkit](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpUYjpKg9KY)?!

In the interest of equal opportunity douchiness, I will submit [every euro-trance pop song ever written.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUAUdYJe4I4)
