The question of what you would do for a million dollars has become the new what would you do for a Klondike bar question. $1 million is a lot of money, but is it worth taking on a task many consider to cost your sanity? Apparently, those on a popular internet forum say the answer is yes. Here are 15 annoying songs that people were willing to listen to if it meant winning a million dollars.
1. “Baby Shark” by Pinkfong
If you are someone with young children or grandchildren, you already know how annoying and repetitive this song is (you poor creature). This specific song came up multiple times within the forum. One person even claimed their toddler had trained them for this particular scenario.
2. “The Hampster Dance Song” by Hampton and the Hamsters
Being on the internet in the early 2000s (myself included) meant you knew this song, even if you didn’t realize it. Back then, videos from far and wide dibidi-ba-didi-dou-doued their way into people’s hearts and into a deep, dark crevasse in their brains where it continued to fester and repeat until it became annoying.
3. “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by The Proclaimers
Personally, I enjoy this song. However, that does not mean I would enjoy hearing it for 24 hours straight. But if someone were willing to repeat this song for so long, they definitely would be worth considering as the man to listen to it for you!
4. “Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of…)” by Lou Bega
The commenter who made this suggestion claimed to have done so to feel like they earned that million dollars. Another shared their experience with the song after it was all their Uber driver had played in the car. Unsurprisingly, they claimed it to be the worst ride they had ever had.
5. “Cotton Eye Joe” by Rednex
This song is popular amongst partygoers and those in charge of the music for school dances. Many have grown up with this song and its dance stuck in their heads, and many more have grown to find it all the more annoying.
6. “Sandstorm” by Darude
Many on the internet cannot ask for the name of a song without this name popping up. It now lives on as a popular meme/joke. As commonly referred to online, Darude Sandstorm now lives on in an area between infamous and beloved.
7. “What’s New Pussycat?”
If you’re a fan of John Mulaney, as many in the online forum seemed to be, you know why this song can be considered annoying. Whether you think you’ve “already played the song four times, or it’s only been played twice and is a really long song,” you will need serious mental strength to get through 24 hours.
8. “Yakko’s World” by Animaniacs
Many have grown up watching the Animaniacs and know this song. The contributor who offered up Yakko’s World did so not only with the motivation of becoming $1 million richer but to memorize all the countries. Of course, there are better plans than this, as others mentioned that the song isn’t accurate.
9. “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley
Another song more annoying for its reputation on the internet than the actual song itself. “Never Gonna Give You Up” walks a fine line between loathed and beloved due to the act of Rickrolling. Though someone did comment that they thought “, anyone would spiral into pure psychosis after a few hours. Thinking Rick is, in fact, NEVER gonna give one up.”
10. “The Song That Doesn’t End” by Shari Lewis
I am brave enough to admit that I have spiraled into insanity from this song. Others in the forum have also seemed to fall into its infinite lyrical cycle, tossing around its lyrics, mentions of elementary school flashbacks, and comments pondering if they would be considered a sadist for being willing to do the same thing.
11. “It’s a Small World (After All)” by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman
The comments on this suggestion brought up many bad memories for others about being stuck on the classic Disney boat ride. The repetition of the song on repeat, mixed with the hundreds of little dolls that many consider creepy, is undoubtedly a recipe for annoyance and insanity.
12. “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” by Buckwheat Boyz
A pattern of popular songs from the early 2000s made it onto this list. Many can envision a dancing banana when they hear or think about this song. According to this suggestion, by listening to this song for 24 hours, they would not have to ruin another that they liked.
13. “It’s Corn” by Recess Therapy, Tariq, and The Gregory Brothers
This song is new compared to the others on this list and gained popularity through TikTok. However, how fresh it is does not detract from how annoying someone thinks a song about the big lump with knobs that corn can be.
14. “Barbie Girl” by Aqua
The person who offered to listen to Barbie Girl is a brave soul. Not just because they would listen to it for 24 hours but because they were willing to listen for a week straight if it meant earning a million dollars.
15. “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen
Although Carly wants us to call her, I don’t think many found the song convincing. The commenter reminisced about the best summer of their life being the year this song was released. But the truth still stands that this sound can quickly get on anyone’s nerves.
