Vote for the Worst Presents: The Worst Songs of 2007

Each week, we'll be featuring the worst songs from each year this decade. We'll be counting down the absolute worst songs to come out each year from 2000 to 2009, and we'll be bringing back all of the songs you wish you'd forgotten. These are the songs that people just can't seem to believe exist, because they're just so terrible. There is a good mixture of guilty pleasures (the awfully funny) and complete crapfests (the awful with no merit). At the end of the 10 weeks, you'll have an opportunity to vote on the worst song of the decade.

2007 was the year that record labels let teenagers run crazy and release any terrible song they could come up with. We were also introduced to some horrific dances that were accompanied by even more horrific songs. If you don't remember how much you hated Top 40 radio in 2007, take a walk down memory lane and relive your suicidal thoughts:

10. Good Charlotte - I Don't Wanna Be in Love (Dance Floor Anthem)

The lead singer is nasally and the song is about how Hillary Duff or whatever her name is was too good for him so she dumped him. Now he got Nicole Richie pregnant. Trading down, my friend. Trading down.

9. Sarah Johns - The One in the Middle

Apparently some white trash hooker decided that she wants to give her man the finger... not the one with a ring (sorry, Beyonce)... not the one that says he's #1... the one in the middle. Country music is usually pretty terribly awesome, but this song takes the novelty record to a new low. It's no wonder she was dropped from her record label shortly after her album's release.

8. Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend

Avril poses as a bratty teenager who can steal your man, when in reality, she's a bratty 20-something who couldn't stay married to a guy who looks like a troll. Apparently, this song was so amazing, that some stupid 60's band sued Avril for stealing their similar song. A remix was also put together featuring Lil Mama, who you'll be hearing from in a few moments.

7. Britney Spears - Gimme More

After this song, gimme more certainly didn't refer to her career, her sanity, or her parental control over her kids. The song makes you want to dance on a pole with your Starbucks latte not wearing any shoes and swinging the kids around without a car seat. It was amazing that Britney got it back together and put her career back on track. But when "Gimme More" was released and it was performed poorly on the VMAs, Britney was at rock bottom and she easily earned her spot on this list.

6. Down Aka Kilo - Lean Like a Cholo

So who thought that putting some fat, lame wannabe Mexican gangsta who sounds like he's about to die from horrible emphysema on the radio was a good idea? How did this become the Latin breakout song of the year? I thought only white people liked bad music. I was wrong (see also: T-Pain).

5. Ashlee Simpson - Outta My Head (Ah Ya Ya)

Oh God. Just listen to it.

4. T-Pain - Buy You a Drank (Shawty Snappin)

T-Pain, who decided to put himself on every single song that came out this year, took every popular song of the last year and smashed them into one horrible vocoder mess. He stole Chris Brown's "ooo ooo"s, the "Walk it Out" song, the "Money in the Bank" song, and "Snap Yo Fingers". And all that crap in one song is just spectacularly awful. Besides the fact that T-Pain has been on my list the last 2 years, so I couldn't leave him off with arguably his worst song to date.

3. Lil Mama - Lip Gloss

This song is my awful favorite of the year, because it's so bad, it's good. To prove my point, I will just list the lyrics and say nothing else.

Its poppin (4)

What you know bout me

2. Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls

I was convinced that this would be the worst song of 2007 before #1 came out. But even though Sean Kingston cannot sing, he only made it to #2. Beside not being able to sing, Sean also cannot harmonize with his own voice. He's also a strange looking 17 year old kid who thinks he can protect his "girlfriend" (read: right hand) in the "ghetto". Because in the song he says "It was back in '99/Watchin' movies all the time/Oh when I went away/For doin' my first crime." This would make him roughly 8. What did you do, Sean? Knock over a lemonade stand? Eat a lemonade stand?

1. Soulja Boy Tell 'Em- Crank That

YOOOOOOOU! Take a steel drum, a bass drum, and some idiot 17 year old kid (seems like a trend, huh?) who thinks he can rap, and YOOOOOOOOOOOOOU have Soulja Boy. The song is about some dance that doesn't translate to radio, so all you're left with is YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU being screamed over and over in what may be the most monotonous and unlistenable record of the decade. Digital Spy said it best when it described the song as "three minutes and 45 seconds of inane hollering over a simple steel drum melody, some nifty hi-hat and a finger-click beat." So if YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU want to hear the worst song of 2007, YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU should check out this song.
