> [@Jinx](#): > > a) What’s that crap song by Uncle Cracker? The one saying it’s ok to cheat as long as nobody knows? C’mon! b) Also, that song by Heart really, really, really makes me barf. “All I want to do is make love to you.” More specifically, it basically says I just want a kid - no father, no husband, no ties, no obligations… The Uncle Kracker Song is “Follow Me.” ---

All I know is that if YouTube doens’t stop this “Vevo” crap I’m going to refuse to ever click a link again. WTF?!? Did I miss a memo? ---

Okay, I’m European and I am honestly not all that familiar with the term “douchebag”. If I said, Jim Morrison, would I be on the right track? ---

Run to you - Bryan Adams - I really has to be one of the douchiest of all time, well the lyrics are, but grief there is some fiercesome compettion out there. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/nCBASt507WA/maxresdefault.jpg "Bryan Adams - Run To You") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCBASt507WA) Under my thumb - Rolling Stones [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI6WA-2CgyE) …and just because I can, and its weird [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/5EM3HxfHo0I/hqdefault.jpg "tol hansse") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EM3HxfHo0I) not very douchy but quite odd. ---

> [@Tangent](#): > > [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. Yeah, but that chick with the bangs singing the chorus kind of gets me going. So I give it a pass. I hope that doesn’t make me too big of a d-bag. 🙂 ---

> [@phungi](#): > > My two nominations: > 2. Deep Blue Something’s "“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (if “kinda” liking a movie from days gone by is the only common ground one can find for potential reconciliation of a fledgling relationship, one is doomed) I always thought that was the point of the song. The relationship _is_ doomed and the protagonist is just desperately scrambling for something to hold them together. I was here to nominate any song ever written by Nickelback, but I see we have a consensus on that point. I suppose I’ll nominate Country Music Douche [Toby Keith](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3umaLe37-LE). Summary: ‘‘I had a crush on you in high school, so I publicly humiliated you rather than telling you my feelings. Now I’m famous and feel the need to mock you for being trapped in a loveless marriage in order to feel better about myself.’’ Only slightly less douchey than his, ‘‘Let’s start lynching people again’’ song. ---

Since quite a few of the songs I had thought of are already represented, I’ll stop thinking of rock songs and think about hip-hop, which has many, many misogynistic examples of douchebaggery. Why, how about Lil’ Jon’s wondrous ode _Get Low_? All the bitches crawl…til the sweat drops down my balls…skeet skeet…Jesus Christ…[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSh\_Oc78A4o](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSh_Oc78A4o) Or how about Lil Wayne’s _Lollipop_? And what’s up with all these “Lil” guys, anyway? Nothing is preparing young women for their futures better than messages about sucking dicks! ---

**ROD STEWART** may be the godfather of this kind of pop-rock. “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” is probably the worst of the lot. The movie Star 80 really nailed it when they had the sleazy villain constantly playing that song in his car. Other songs - Feel Like Making Love (Bad Company) Under the Boardwalk (The Drifters) Stayin’ Alive Freebird That’s What You Get For Loving Me (Gordon Lightfoot) > [@casdave](#): > > Run to you - Bryan Adams - I really has to be one of the douchiest of all time I think “Run To You” isn’t that bad at all. Bryan Adams has done much worse - how about “I Wanna Be Your Underwear” ---

That Rod Stewart song…ugh. Bad disco, BAD! Oddly, _Run To You_ was the very first song I learned on guitar. Followed by _Back In Black_, of course. The guitar part at the beginning of Run To You is remarkably similar to the guitar part during the latter part of the chorus of REM’s _Driver 8_ (“still a ways away…”). ---

Working on not beating your wife so much? Good job there, sport. Didn’t he also write “I’d rather see you DEAD, little girl, than to see you with another man” and “All You Need Is Love”? ---

I always thought Summer Nights from Grease was a pretty douchey song. Basically it’s the 1950s version of a Jersey Shore couple singing to their friends about a summer hookup. ---

That LFO song reminded me of another similar song from 2 years ago - [Corona and Lime](http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8NV27gPI3g) by Shwayze. Someone upthread mentioned “Butterfly” by Crazy Town. There’s an even better example of douchebaggery from this band - [Revolving Door](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygqda7rjYnY). ---

> [@statsman1982](#): > > That one and maybe _Machinehead_ from roughly the same era strike me as a bit douchy. Heh. There’s a restaurant chain called “Machine Shed.” There’s one outside Milwaukee and (to my delight) Minneapolis. Every time we drive past I’m singing “gotta Machine Shed, better than the rest…” ---
