How many good tunes must we ruin before we realize a little variety can actually be a good thing? The next time you prepare a playlist, do us all a favor and make sure none of these songs are included.

1. “Yeah” by Usher <\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Photo Bucket<\/a>)

I know what you\u2019re thinking: major throwback! You got that right. I bet you still have all the lyrics memorized. What does “A-town down” even mean?

2. “Candy Shop” by 50 Cent<\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Tumblr<\/a>)

I\u2019m sure everyone had a blast with this one. 50 Cent, thanks for stealing the innocence from the Lebanese population. \u201cLicking lollipops\u201d no longer means enjoying our Chupa Chups.

3. “Ridin\u2019 Dirty” by Chamillionaire <\/b><\/big><\/big>

Everyone knows this one. Especially the guys driving around blasting it in their cars 24\/7. It died pretty fast and while many old songs make me feel nostalgic, I\u2019ll never request to hear this one again.

4. “Talk Dirty to Me” by Jason Derulo<\/b><\/big><\/big>

Every pub, club, house party, beach, and car ride has offered a venue for people to go wild to this song. It\u2019s still a major hit if you ask me.

5. “Gangnam Style “by PSY<\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Giphy<\/a>)

Thanks to PSY we all got a kick out of something we didn’t understand. Both kids and adults were doing the famous dance and pretending like they knew the lyrics.

6. “Gangsta” by Kat Dahlia<\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Tumblr<\/a>)

Her lyrics are meaningful and I agree with everything she says but enough is enough. Besides, being gangsta \u201cdon\u2019t impress me none.\u201d

7. “Stereo Love” by Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina <\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via GIF Soup<\/a>)

How did we even like this to begin with?

8. “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO<\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Facebook<\/a>)

This song was so influential that people were walking around in shutter shade glasses. *Shudders*

9. “Happy” by Pharrell Williams<\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Tumblr<\/a>)

If this one didn\u2019t have you smiling, you\u2019re a soulless fool. Everyone in Lebanon has danced to this song at least once. Even old men trying to balance with a cane had a blast shaking their junk to it.

10. “Single Ladies” by Beyonc\u00e9<\/b><\/big><\/big>

(Image via Giphy<\/a>)

I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve been to a single engagement party or wedding without hearing this song. We get it: he liked it and he put a ring on. Can you stop bragging to your single friends already?
