Pop Songs - The Work Of The Devil?

I was watching something on MTV and they played a Missy Elliott song in the background. It was unmistakably Missy as the song had her rather distinctive voicing and that oh so catchy beat. "Pass That Dutch" burrowed its way into my brain and the song almost immediately became a part of the music collection.

How often have we come across songs of this type? You know what I'm talking about. Those songs that even if you absolutely hate them, you find yourself humming or singing them and hating yourself in the process. I decided to scour the music collection and find other songs of the same vein. The results were actually quite shocking.

Missy Elliott - Pass That Dutch
Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out of My Head
Kelis feat. Pharrell - Milkshake
Venga Boys - We Like to Party
Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At
K7 - Come Baby Come
Len - Steal My Sunshine
Nelly - Hot In Herre
Pixies - Here Comes Your Man
Raveonettes - That Great Love Sound
Sean Paul - Get Busy
Sisqo - Thong Song
Soft Cell - Tainted Love
Tegan And Sara - Monday Monday Monday

Now these songs are not listed in any particular order, as they are all equally powerful and deadly. There are far more to be found in the CD collection. The reason this list is so shocking and further evidence that I indeed got it right - the playlist size weighed in at 666 bytes. You make the call.
