Barbie
It's hard to argue with <i>Rolling Stone</i> for putting "Barbie Girl" on its list of the 20 most annoying songs of all time. But there's more to the Eurodisco group's legacy. Aqua and its record label held their ground in an aggressive copyright infringement lawsuit brought by Mattel, who claimed that the lyrics "associate sexual and other unsavory themes with Mattel's Barbie products."

If you haven't had the chance to see the band stomp around like Celtic hillbillies in the song's classic music video, do.

Respected jazz musician Bobby McFerrin hit it big with "Don't Worry Be Happy," the first a cappella song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a position it held for two weeks. The song also garnered a coveted spot on <i>Rolling Stone</i>'s prestigious "Best Whistling Songs of All Time" list, among many other accolades. But the song's snappy catchiness (and utter ubiquity) quickly rubbed many the wrong way, transforming the title from a cheerful message into a Pollyanna irritation.
