Alanis Morissette - "My Humps"

Props to Valerie for bringing this one to my attention:

The video itself is a mediocre parody of the original Black Eyed Peas version. What I like about it is that it points out just how incredibly inane the lyrics to this song are.

Here are some of the lyrics to "My Humps":
What you gon' do with all that junk?
All that junk inside that trunk?
I'ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump.

I think that's actually kind of gross.
"My Humps" is one of the worst songs written in any language, and I believe it may have set English culture back by decades.

Another song that I take offense to is "This Is Why I'm Hot" by Mims. First of all, if your name is Mims (even your nickname) just quit and die already.
Here are some of the offending lyrics:
I'm hot cause I'm fly
You hate cause you not
This is why (this is why)
This is why I'm hot
I'm hot cause I'm fly
You ain't cause you not (MIMS!)

Ah yes..."You ain't cause you not." *Begins loading shotgun*

Mainstream music has actually found a way to get worse. This is why I have stopped listening to radio entirely (NPR excepted). So I ask you: what awful song have you heard recently?

Addendum (thanks, Rachel):

Frankly I can't remember the last horrible song I heard on the radio. I'm in the same boat where I don't actually listen to the radio, but I stopped back when Britney and N'Sync became popular. The truth is I don't really mind the Black Eyed Peas because I tend to like the beat, but their lyrics are pretty much horrible and I could do without the singing. I pretty much HATE Rob Thomas, so any of his new stuff is the last bad song I've heard I guess.

Yay for props!!! I laughed so hard I cried at dear ol' Alanis. She rocks my world.

While you're at it, can you please provide me with the proper lyrics to Fergie's "GLAMOROUS"? Is she saying "the flossy flossy"? Or "flopsy flopsy"? What the hades does that even mean?!!??

I am still reeling over dear Gwen's bananas song. What the crap was that? But aside from these two songs, I can't think of any others that have just left me disgusted. Well, I take that back - I don't like any of the pussycat doll songs!!! Yuck.
