Aqua, "Barbie Girl"

Bad news if you're a Barbie girl living in a Barbie world: Your theme song has been voted the absolute worst song of the 1990s. Blame it on the Danes.

Los Del Rio, "Macarena"

We still have nightmares of delegates to the 1996 Democratic National Convention doing the dance moves that go with this song.
Billy Ray Cyrus, "Achy Breaky Heart"

We don't know what's worse … the lyrics to this song or Cyrus's hair in the video.
Vanilla Ice, "Ice Ice Baby"

We were 13 when this song came out, so we'll admit that we liked it -- a lot (even if he did steal from Queen). Word to your mutha!
Chumbawamba, "Tubthumping"

This is one of the most annoying songs of all time. 'Nuff said.
Hanson, "MMMBop"

Why did grown adults worship three little boys with long blond hair? It seems even weirder now than it did then. The song is kind of catchy, though.
Celine Dion, "My Heart Will Go On"

You probably heard this song yesterday, as "Titanic" still seems to be on TV at all times, even 14 years later.
Baha Men, "Who Let the Dogs Out?"

This song came out in the summer of 2000, but Rolling Stone counts it as the '90s. Anyway … we still don't know who let the dogs out … or why.

Bad news if you're a Barbie girl living in a Barbie world: Your theme song has been voted the absolute worst song of the 1990s.

And there's plenty of competition for that dishonor.

Readers of Rolling Stone magazine have voted on the Top 10 worst songs of the '90s, with Aqua's "Barbie Girl" taking first place, even though it sold 8 million records worldwide and topped 13 different music charts in 11 countries.

Which sucky song scored the silver? Heeeey ... "Macarena"! We still have nightmares of delegates to the 1996 Democratic National Convention doing the dance moves to that song.

Billy Ray Cyrus took the bronze for "Achy Breaky Heart" (the lyrics were dumb then, and they're even dumber now), and Vanilla Ice came in fourth place with "Ice Ice Baby." Word to your mutha.

Well, I hated Barbie Girl when it came out, but have since found a place for it in my heart for it's incredible cheesiness. "Come on Barbie, let's go party."

Vanilla Ice took the melody for that song from Queen's under pressure. At least the other songs were original. I like Macarena.

I had a really hard time deciding between this and "Who Let the Dogs Out?", but I just remember how huge the macarena was when I was in elementary school. I remember students and teachers both just breaking out into the macarena at random. It was just absolutely awful. "Who Let the Dogs Out?" was pretty effing bad, too, though. I remember that my Grandma Ev discovered that song about two or three years after it came out, and would walk around singing it. That certainly added to it's awful factor. Yikes.

Oi! Macarena was at least catchy and fun! Why the heck is it in second place eh?! And Barbie Girl's not all THAT annoying. Also, I thought "Who Let the Dogs Out" was released in 2000 or something anyway... also I loved it as a kid.

Billy Ray though.... ugh, no. Shove it and leave it.
