Well, Avril, I don't like this song. (Actually, I don't like many of your songs.) Today's blog is about top hit songs I dislike and the reasons I dislike them.
1) I guess we should start with "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne. I guess I don't like this song because I find it extremely self-centered. So what if you would make a better girlfriend? This guy you can't get over is obviously with someone else for a reason, so you know what? Let it go. If you are such a precious princess, I'm sure some other guy would love to have you as his girlfriend... And, oh yeah, you stole your beat and chord progression from "Hey Mickey," but don't worry. I don't think you can copy-right that kind of stuff.
2) "Hate that I Love You" by Rihanna and Ne-Yo. Personally, I just don't get it. Do you love each other or frickin hate each other? Sounds like both in this song. Which makes no sense, actually. You pretty much hate the fact that you love him, then why do you even love him at all? And the video! You both end up with different people at the end, but you love each other, but you hate that you love each other, which is why you are with other people, but you still love each other... You know, your concept of "love" is really messed up, it seems.
3) "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder. First of all, you just don't have the voice or the sound for this type of song. It should be sweet and gentle, not of the verge of screaming. Secondly, what are you doing with another woman when you're clearly not over the first?!
4) "I get around" by Dragonette. Need I say more? Seriously, you don't want to get me started.
5) "Sexyback" by Justin Timberlake. Honestly, you're not that sexy. And you can do much better than this song. And you have. Which is good.
6) "Wonderful" by Chantal Kreviazuk. Well, I have mixed feelings about this one. I like the sound of the song, and Chantal is actually talented. I even like the verses a little. But I hate the chorus. And, as we all know, the chorus is the part you'll always get stuck in your head. The chorus makes her sound a little (aka very) desperate for someone's attention. Who that someone is, I don't think we know. A lover, an ex-lover and friend-with-benefits? Anyway, I just don't like the way it makes her sound. (Again, people with their messed up version of love. Love and sex - not equatable.) Plus, do you really need to tell us you're wonderful? Seems a little conceited to me.
Sorry if some of these are among your favourites. I like to listen to the radio a lot, so I hear a lot of the top songs being played. Some of them are really good, and some I don't even mind listening to. But I have a tendency to over-analyze things, and this is what comes out.
You're so fine, I want you mine, you're so delicious...
(What the... ? That's not even grammatically correct.)

LOL oh wow. That was quite funny. I SO agree with "Hate that I Love You". Definitely a cultural WTF.
I have to comment again, because I have to make this grammatically correct. So what I shall say is that the music video for the song "Lips of an Angel" is so much more fun to critique... Like, he strangles himself with his tie! And he has a flailing arm thing going on... and yeah... It's bad. :)
How dare you bash "Sexyback!" That song inspired me to hunt for sexy. Dammit Tasj, I found it and you should look at me now.
I brought sexyback. Them other fuckers now know how to act.
That is all.
