Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

-----------------

Bad song-rules: No songs created for video games! That can be a different Rushmore if you guys want to nominate it. I didn't want to clog this Rushmore up with Crazy Bus.

Songs must be commercially released, and should not have been made with the intent of being a bad song. If anyone votes for "The Most Unwanted Song," I'm not counting it. No remixes unofficial or otherwise, should be the original version of the song.

Song should be commonly regarded as of very poor quality!

When voting please list name of song AND the artist to make it easier for me. Thank you!

YESTERDAY: Really great Rushmore! Fairly competitive, and like the best Rushmores, we had a multi-post tangent where voters argued "what the fuck even is a Roguelike?" and whether or not Rogue could be a Roguelike when it is already by default the more like Rogue that a Roguelike could... like

While there was briefly a 4-way tie around the end of page 1, things seemed much more decisive by the end as Spelunky couldn't quite keep up with daddy

almost threw out every vote for not including Rouge the Bat but you all caught me on a good day

This is exactly why I didn't include Chinese Food or Thanksgiving on mine. Friday is probably genuinely the least-bad song of the three but it's the most iconic and notorious.

I think Baby Shark is extra notorious because there are hundreds or maybe thousands of terrible low-effort videos of it on YouTube by shitty animation companies. It started as just a kind-of annoying camp song or whatever, then 'kid' YouTube took it to the next level.

Genuinely good song. Vocals and the production are incredibly top-tier. It's not a novelty or joke song and it's not a song by a washed-up band or artist. You can personally find it annoying or overplayed but it being a "bad song" is not the general consensus at all.

"Friday" is iconic for being bad, so it's Rushmore worthy, meant for us or not.

IDGAF about Captain & Tennille. I think it's just a mediocre song. But ask anyone who was a young adult in the 70s and they'll cringe at the thought of it. So to me it's Rushmore-worthy.
