Todd: Getting Megan to turn in the first verse from her that I didn't like!īuzzer sounds with white text reading "NOT A RHYME" And congratulations to Maroon 5 for a major achievement! Todd (VO): You can probably credit this song's success to Megan Thee Stallion, who is also on here. It's so bad, it makes me weep all over my million dollar car. Todd (VO): Oh, it's such a mistake that I keep having sex with her. Todd (VO): If he was gonna repeat one of his songs, I wish it wouldn't have been his most irritating.
Todd: Maybe P!nk will write a song about the struggles of marriage next. Todd (VO): Sure needed another one of those from you. We keep throwin' things and slammin' the doors And it's terrible and they fight all the time, but they just can't stop themselves from having hot, sexy sex with each other. Todd (VO): Oh boy, a Maroon 5 song about having a relationship with a hot woman. Todd (VO): That said, I do actually hate this one in particular. Todd: If Adam Levine ever actually made a good song again, it'd probably make me so angry at this point that I'd probably just put it right at the top of the Worst List anyway. I just simply don't know how not to at this point. Last year, I put one of their songs as an Honorable Mention even though I didn't really think that one was actually that bad.
For almost the entire decade I've been doing this, Maroon 5 has been filling up my Worst Lists. Todd (VO): Now, in one sense, this is just a Lifetime Achievement Award. So really, I owe Adam Levine a debt of gratitude. Truly, the most noble reason to create art. Todd: It's to help me fill out the Worst List. And during that entire time, I have asked and asked: why does Maroon 5 still exist? And I think I finally have the answer.
This year, Adam Levine's sellout period reached a full decade. Todd (VO): Yeah, you knew this one was a lock. Megan Thee Stallion - "Beautiful Mistakes" Īdam Levine: Beautiful mistakes I make inside my head Todd: Alright, we got a lot of bad songs to get through, so why don't we just get this one out of the way right now?

Boy, there was some shit this year, and I'm blaming it for every disappointment I had. that I was more interested in writing the Worst List this year than the Best List. As judged by the only standard I use, which is. Todd: But to me, this is not a great year in pop music. Todd (VO): Every year, it's like 'Oh, there were some good things that happened this year, some bad things that happened this year! What a year, huh?' Trying to impose a label on an entire year of music is dumb. Todd: And on some level, these recaps of the year are redundant. Justin Bieber - "Stay", Ed Sheeran - "Bad Habits" ] And unlike 2020, where music felt to me like a life raft in a truly dismal time to be alive, I found it a little hard to get into much this year. It's hard for me not to look at it as a letdown, Polo G - "Rapstar", The Kid LAROI ft. Todd (VO): I mean, yeah, it was better than 2020 but we're still dealing with a lot of the same garbage. I dunno, that's just not what happened.įootage of a Stop Asian Hate rally, people getting vaccinated, and people holding signs saying "Stop the Mandate" and "#NaturalImmunity" some other goddamn year than the one we just had. It's gonna be nothing but sunshine and roses, we're gonna party like it's. Todd (VO): Whoo, 2020 is over! Worst year in history behind us, let the good times roll! 2021's gonna be the best year of our lives.
