So I get in the studio today around 3pm and Mary Martin tells me that I have a Top song coming up when I start my show. Now, I am thinking that is cool, something new.

Nope, not the case at all. According to Buzzfeed.com, the #20 song, Sugar Ray's "Every Morning" is actually the #20 worst song of the 90's. Now, I not a music purist by any stretch of the imagination, but I can think of much worse songs than "Every Morning". I don't know if you agree,  but I really enjoyed a lot of these songs, when they were popular, and still do on a lot of these. And from the looks of this list and what we hear on the radio, the 90's weren't all that bad.

Here is what is in the Top 20:
#20: Sugar Ray - "Every Morning"
I whistle with them on this song. They knew they had a short shelf life after "Fly", that is why the next album was 14:59, one second shy of 15 minutes of fame.

#19: Shawn Mullins - "Lullaby"
I got to spend an afternoon with this guy when this song was popular. He is another one who knew he had a limited time in the spotlight and he was ok with it. I will tell you that the story in this song, though it was rumored to be about Drew Barrymore, was not the case.

#18: Paula Cole - "I Don't Want To Wait"
It was a TV theme song. Don't hate on Dawson's Creek. I watched it and you can admit it, you did too.

#17: Aqua - "Barbie Girl"
Yep, this is definitely one we should all be embarrassed that we requested on the radio. I was working at a radio station in Florida when it came out. Yes, it was our top song for weeks. Shame on all of us.

#16: LFO - "Summer Girls"
Now how may songs do you know can pay homage to someone who wears Abercrombie and Fitch, work it into a song and NOT make it a commercial. Looks like these guys did exactly that. What I have never understood is why Abercrombie didn't endorse them and write them a big fat paycheck for the song. Or did they? Hmmmm

#15: New Radicals - "Get What You Give"
Gregg Alexander, the singer of the group, wore strange hats before Jamiraqui. But one thing that Gregg Alexander did that he shouldn't is have done, trash on anyone and everyone who liked him, including celebrities and radio stations.

#14: Sisqo - "Thong Song"
While this was a great song when it came out and launched Sisqo's solo career, it also killed it. Fun, yes. Annoying after the 100th time, it was heard, definitely.

#13: Snow - "Informer"
The USA didn't see much in Snow beyond this song, as we heard it as a Canadian Rapping like he was from Jamaica. Believe it or not, this guy had more hits from 1993 through 2003 in Canada.

#12: Joey Lawrence - "Nothing Can Fix My Love"
Joey Lawrence was a heart-throb. Personally, I have no clue as to why. He wasn't a good actor, as a kid. And well, take a look at the video and determine his singing ability on your own.

#11: Ricky Martin - "Livin' La Vida Loca"
Say what you want about Ricky Martin, the guy can write a hit, he can sing and he can dances his butt off on stage. I saw him once and WOW! It was like a Cirque de Soleil.

#10: Shania Twain - "Still The One"
First off, Shania was at a point in her life where she could buy and sell the country of Switzerland and this song has staying power, so I am scratching my head on this one. Buzzfeed even says this one pails in comparison to "Man! I Feel Like A Woman". I respectfully disagree.

#9: Right Said Fred - "I'm Too Sexy"
This one should be a lot closer to #1 for a number of reasons in my book. It reminds me a bad relationship where my ex LOVED this song and I couldn't stand it then and I can't stand it now.

#8: Hanson - "MMMBop"
Truth: Adults get trumped by animals and kids in the movies, which is why actors don't like working with them. Then there are kids in music, when they are kids and have a hit, when they grow up, rarely do you care what they are doing, even though they make better songs. Hanson is the band. The second album sounded like the Black Crowes and even today, Taylor Hanson has made music with some of the guys from Cheap Trick and Dramarama.

#7: Los Del Rio - "Macarena"
Sigh...We all learned the dance. And we all tried to learn the lyrics. Like Aqua, this should have been higher on the list, IMHO.

#6: Creed - "Higher"
Another one that I disagree with. Great message and great song.

#5: Baja Men "Who Let The Dogs Out"
I'll bet Aresnio Halls wishes he had copywritten the "woof" and had gotten paid for every time they woofed in this song.

#4 Bill Ray Cyrus: "Achey Breaky Heart"
When the artist does his part to distance himself from the song that made him a household name, you know there is a problem.

#3: Crash Test Dummies "MMM MMM MMM"
All I can think of after seeing this video for the first time in 15 years is how much the lead singer looks like Jar-Jar Binks

#2: Lou Bega - "Mambo #5"
How many girls names can he mention? This one is on par with The Macarena.

And Now for #1: Limp Bizkit - "Faith"
First off, Fred Durst WAS an MTV favorite, but that does not make you a singer. Not to mention, if you are going to debut, would you do it with a cover song? Even if this is a joke on the original, at least make it worthwhile.
