Sisqo — “The Thong Song” (2000)
When a song’s main premise is about a thing, you know something’s wrong. Please excuse us for waxing poetic there, but that line is probably better than anything in “The Thong Song.” We can confidently say that because Sisqo used a truck as a metaphor for a female body part. Fortunately, the world has moved on, and the track has died quietly. So please, kids reading this, keep it that way.

Culture Club — “Karma Chameleon” (1983)
We’re willing to bet you didn’t even have to listen to the song before it became stuck in your head. Culture Club had the biggest hit in their career with this song, which swept the 1980s. Critics claim that its structure was later used to create a standard style for writing theme tunes for children’s television shows. These reports are unconfirmed, but Postman Pat, I’m looking at you.
