When I was 15, I remember being friends with this kid who would drive around really fast in residential areas and listen to a "Cotton Eyed Joe" 12 song remix cd. When he got tired of that, he listened to the Deftones.

Please, for me, make the RANK:

"Barbie Girl" by Aqua
"Cotton-Eye Joe" by Rednex
"Scatman (Ski-Ba-Bop-Ba-Dop-Bop)" by Scatman John

no can do, compadre.

adding scatman would remind you of the Good Humor Man reworking, which would in turn remind you of Jack Dangers, which would in turn make you laugh.

and there's no laughing in torture, jack.

The brilliant thing about these Thunderdomes between two unabashed turds is watching people look for their positive aspects. "At least Barbie Girl doesn't butcher an American folk classic, and a chick is singing it!"

As for what I think--they're both worse than Skrewdriver.

Come on Barbie, let's go party.

Here is a new choice:

The Ting Tings - "That's Not My Name"

or

Katy Perry - "I Kissed A Girl"

Barbie Girl every time

when Aqua did this live on TOTP they rocked!

fake hillbillies should be shot

i thought i was the only one! Rednex is BAD, but after 5 hours i might could tune it out...get used to it...but that Aqua song is THE WORST...i have some sort of physical reaction hearing 2 seconds of it...

Umm...

Barbie girl.

if suicide is not an option, how about forcible deafness? I might be willing to stab myself in the ears to tune either of them out.

With threads like this I can never tell if i'm supposed to click on which one i prefer or which one i hate more. I clicked on 'barbie girl' because it is infinitely better (okay, not infinitely, but definitely better) than 'cotton eyed joe', which gives me the creeps when i hear it. Plus, it has a dance to go along with it that 80% of the people I know participate in whenever the song is played.
