40 songs and 2 hours 20 minutes long. Here is the playlist.  
Here are songs that I find annoying, suggestions (some from SD) as to what’s annoying, some suggestions from friends and families. Is anyone brave enough to listen to it?

These Boots are Made for Walking – Crispin Glover  
The inspiration for this playlist.

True Love Will Find You in the End – Daniel Johnston  
Discovered this on the end credits for a House M.D. episode.

California Saga (The Beaks of Eagles) – The Beach Boys  
Mrs Cad’s contribution to the list

Louden’s Bonnie Woods and Braes – Stuart Liddell  
How about that anthem, huh? Gee, I don’t know about you, but I just get a great big lump in my throat every time I hear it.

My Pal Foot Foot – The Shaggs  
Considered by many to be the worst musical group ever.

Outside the Hospital – Wild Man Fischer  
Might be autobiographical given his history of mental illness.

Chacarron – El Chombo  
Looked for this after hearing a clip on the GradeA UnderA Youtube channel.

The Most Wanted Song – Dave Soldier  
After a survey, this song has the most loved features in a song yet everyone hates it.

Revolution 9 – The Beatles  
The standard of annoying songs.

Surfin’ Bird – The Trashmen  
Had to be on this list due to the _Family Guy_ episode.

The Christmas Shoes – Newsong  
Patton Oswald’s take. Warning [NSFW](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq10bz3PxyY&ab_channel=billybobjomes).

Mr. Tambourine Man – William Shatner  
Bill has said his take on the song is that he is a drug addict needing a fix and Mr. Tambourine man is his dealer.

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins – Leonard Nimoy  
The most [60’s video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuQbus0xfhk&ab_channel=LegendsandChampionsPodcast) ever made.

Paralyzed – The Legendary Stardust Cowboy  
Quite literally, I understood zero words in this song

Macarena – Los Del Rio  
If you remember the dance, please don’t.

Friday – Rebecca Black  
Wherein we learn the end of the week goes (in order) Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And yes, there are dumber lyrics then that.

Push th’ Little Daisies – Ween  
When I saw [this guy](https://stillfinditsohard.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/daisies_10.jpg?w=540&h=400) on the left, I couldn’t help thinking of [that guy](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNzAyOTU4MmMtMGE0OC00NTZiLThkYzYtYTUyY2Q5YTU2NmJiXkEyXkFqcGc@._V1_.jpg) on the right.

How to Make a Bechamel Sauce in 10 Steps (With Pictures) – Lynks  
Horrible song but authentic recipe.

Limerence – Yves Tumor  
The soundtrack to the most annoying home video ever.

The Safety Dance (Extended Dance Version) – Men Without Hats  
Contribution from my sister.

The Magic Flute: Queen of the Night – Florence Foster Jenkins  
There is a theory that due to the syphilis she got from her husband caused brain damage so she couldn’t hear how bad her singing was.

Drummer Boy – Justin Bieber & Busta Rhymes  
Can an annoying song also be awesome? Yes!

I am not Afraid – Charley Crockett  
A coworker said this was his favorite Charley Pride song so ‘nough said.

All by Myself – Green Day  
I am not a Green Day fan and after listening to this you will not be either.

They’re Coming to Take Me Away – Napoleon XIV  
The classic annoying song

John Wayne is Big Leggy (Groovy Long Version) – Haysi Fantayzee  
7 minutes that seem like 70.

Seasons in the Sun – Terry Jacks  
Apparently this is the sappiest death song ever.

Brand New Key – Melanie  
She says the song is really about roller skating so it may belong in [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/songs-you-insist-have-a-different-meaning-than-the-writer-claims/993725).

Playground in My Mind – Clint Holmes  
After this song, he should have to stay 100 feet from parks and schools.

How Do You Do? – Mouth & MacNeal  
Perfect for a SNL musical guest in the first few seasons.

Avenging Annie – Andy Pratt  
The largest falsetto/non-falsetto ratio ever.

I Want to be a Hulkamaniac – Battle Autistocrat  
If you don’t picture this as the music for an 80’s cartoon montage then you are not human (or just really young).

Disco Duck – Rick Dees and his Cast of Idiots  
Believe or not, this hit Billboard’s #1

Suspicious Minds – Fine Young Cannibals  
I discovered a new genre of annoying songs, bad covers of great songs. Sorry I couldn’t find Avril Livigne’s live cover of _Chop Suey_ on Spotify.

Polka Dot Undies – Bowser and Blue  
I’m not sure what this genre is called, but the lyrics lead you to presume what the last word of the verse is, usually a naughty one, but they use a different clean word instead. Annoying.

Fish Heads – Barnes and Barnes  
Not the Dr. Demento version but the original (annoying) version

Winchester Cathedral – New Vaudeville Band  
This song beat out Good Vibrations, Eleanor Rigby, Monday Monday and Last Train to Clarksville for the 1967 Grammy for best rock & roll song.

MacArthur Park – Donna Summer  
Wherein we learn if you don’t have the cake recipe then don’t leave your cake out in the rain.

Muskrat Love – Captain & Tennille  
I am not an animal expert, but I don’t think the song accurately depicts muskrat mating behavior.

Our Lips of Sealed – Hilary and Haylie Duff  
You think it can’t worse than Kid’s Bop. You are wrong.
