As he gets older, Todd's attitude in these worst lists has become less genuinely outraged and more like a professor dissecting a sick animal and pointing out to the class exactly what's wrong with it
I like how you spelled it wrong so its not “whiskey” It makes me think that every country song NEEDS whisks in order to truly be country, like it’s all baking recipes with banjos and fake accents

New new edit from March 15 2021: You guys really still answering to this comment. And also I’ve still not grown out of my hatred for this comment.
How long did it take to reach country music? At least 26 years, Arrested Development use it in "The Gettin". I think Salt n Pepa use it as well but can't remember where.
Next time a guy makes me second guess myself in terms of looks or personality, I’m going to hear the crisp clear contempt of Todd asking, “Motherfucker, are YOU worth it?”
Marshmello and the Chainsmokers have created the worst trend in music in the latter half of the decade: try to build to something, limp drum fill, and 3 note synth line. ADDENDUM: marshmello is also worse because he has no personality musically and overcompensates by acting like a cartoon character. At least the chainsmokers sound like they’re trying ADDENDUM 2: the opinions of the responses do not reflect the opinions to the OP. I don’t hate all EDM.
At least The Chainsmokers make a really good song every once in a while, like Roses or Paris. Everything I've heard from Marshmallow is the synthesizer equivalent of white bread.
He’s just not innovating at all anymore. He’s found his niche and refuses to move from it. His old remix of beautiful now slaps and there’s some collabs in his new album which goes into some other genres. Brostep/Dubstep/Bass House/Jungle Terror to name a few
I remember when Skrillex went into producing, everyone was afraid he would ruin the songs he produced. Skrillex proved he can make hits and produce decent music and ADD to the songs. Than there's Marshmello who turned out exactly what we feared Skrillex would be. Ironically, Skrillex got shit when he was going solo but is now praised as a producer. Marshmello was loved solo but was hated as a producer. Crazy right?
I have to commend Skrillex for making "Sorry" such a fucking frustrating listening experience. I desperately wanted to imagine that a more competent artist was on that song so I could put it on my personal best list that year.
i listened to skrillex's songs recently and wow they still hold up. he made fun catchy songs. marshmello is just very generic, dude makes the same beat over and over.
@@mclovin2024 I always liked skrillex. He was like electronic nickelback. People loved to hate him. But honestly he's good. Marshmello on the other hand.... No idea how he even got famous. I prefer Deadmau5 and he gets boring too!

@@via_.mariah Well, I have like a bunch of music that I listen to on repeat. Other than that it's normally just random stuff that I hear from various places. Adds, shopping centres. Stuff like that. Like, I don't try and avidly avoid pop music. I just don't follow it too closely.
Me: Watching 2016 list: "Good job, Todd, I hated these songs" Me: Watching 2019 list without having turned on the radio since 2016: "Good job Todd. I'be never heard any of these songs . . And I hate them."
I think the reason we like looking at negativity is because a guy named todd has entertained us more sitting in his apartment picking apart bad music then a multi billion dollar industry specializing in entertainment
Man, even though Todd's content has a distinct style that he's never exactly fallen out of, it's still apparent that he's changed a lot over the last decade. He seems so much more eloquent and unauthoritative than he was when he started, and I think that's always been what I liked about his stuff. It feels like I want to watch him not because I want him to rip a song to shreds, but because I'm legitimately interested in hearing him talk about this sort of stuff, I really do strive for that kind of charm and strange charisma one day. Whatever happens, here's to a fruitful decade.
I agree. Todd is one of the few music critics who can be self-deprecatingly funny and eloquent in his analysis of music that he likes and dislikes. I enjoy watching his videos for that reason.
He didn't say it was the worst it in the decade, he said it was the worst "number 1 hit" of the decade, which is very different. It's still no "Wiggle"
"YK Osiris wants to take Chris Brown's place in pop music" Me: Well, at least he hasnt- "He got arrested for biting and choking his girlfriend" Me: ...
7:00 "Birds need bees" It's funny how most of the similes in Knocking Boots kinda make literal sense except for this one. How do birds need bees? Birds can't even eat honey
Magenta Dragon “the birds and bees talk” is a euphemism for a parent explaining what sex is to their child once their old enough to hear about it. Puberty tends to be wrapped into the talk as well.
I discovered about 2 weeks ago that I'm kinda into the Jonas Brothers . . . from the 2000s, when they were playing teenybopper mall not-punk. It was fun. Something about that new stuff isn't *fun* . . . though who knows? Maybe in 2033 I'll be sitting around saying how great that 2019 JoBros was.
I was surprised when I heard they got back together. Not to mention I've been hearing "Only Human" on the radio a few times recently, when I was at Cash Converters, an internet cafe and in my carer's car.
Yeah, bro-country wasn't a thing at the start of the decade. Country Girl was the first bro-country song (in 2011), and Cruise really got the ball rolling on the trend (when it got popular in 2013).
@@gracecarpinter8623 Even Luke Bryan's earlier work prior to 2011 to me at least still had a traditional feel to it with song's like Do I (probably his best song) and even All My Friend's Say. But yeah after Country Girl (Shake It For Me) it's all been down the crapper in quality. Cruise really set it off at the end of 2012. Even artist's I once respected like Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, and early Jason Aldean sold out. The only Florida Georgia Line song I think is good is Simple.
@@roddorfj I love God's Country, but I feel like Blake Sheltons 2010s material has been for the majority really subpar compared to his 2000's albums or even his work from the start of the decade. Song's like The Baby, Austin, Some Beach, Nobody But Me, Don't Make Me, and Honey Bee still hold up very well.
if you makes you feel any better Todd there is a rumor that Marshmello doesnt even really make any music he is just a figure piece for a studio making everything
@@anguishingquark yeah but for the last few years hip hop (Trap) has been a bit of a blindspot for him only acknowledging the blatantly terrible ("Gucci Gang" and "Yes Indeed") and the only song he liked was most because he found the video funny ("Ric Flair Drip").
"Why do you gotta be so critical and negative?" A. Negativity sells. James Rolfe can attest. B. Because constant positivity would eventually become boring C. Refusing to criticize breeds complacency. D: These aren't "innocent artists", they're people selling a product. You better make your music worth my cash.
Negativity is fine if it isn't overboard. Todd isn't because he always compares bad songs to ones he does in fact like, and he always expresses a hope that current music will improve. But there's a lot of UA-camrs out there who are just full of so much bile. You could make counterarguments: Constant negativity also becomes boring. Criticism is valid but it's obvious some people just want to insult something or make it a vessel to spout their personal views. Constant, harsh criticism dissuades up and coming creators from breaking into the scene and makes them feel like if they aren't perfect then there's no point. Balance is key for everything.
I went to Chuck.E Cheese this year when Happier was popular and they were playing the music video to the song on a big ass screen. Now here's the thing THEY EDITED THE DOG DYING OUT!!
Lil Baby sounds like he's tired. To Lil Baby's management: please let him rest. Maybe if he actually gets some sleep for once he'll start sounding better /s
Todd sounds a fair lot more excited and upbeat for this video than he has in a while. That's good; I was starting to get worried that he was getting burnt out on doing videos. Glad to see the Todd of old back for this one!
@@Nissl61 Yeah that! I dunk on it bc it's kinda lame, but really after this fucking second half of the decade I'm glad to hear stuff that isn't half-asleep depression.
For a while it was going to be my pick for best song of the year. It's still pretty high on my list. Basically it's a better Feel It Still as far as I'm concerned.
Trust me, it could be worse *hides in fear from the raps middleschoolers blast from their speakers when the teachers aren't around about... Fricking eachother*
Speaking of "top ten worst" lists, I understand that they are a lot of work, but I really enjoy the ones where you pick a year at random. They're all a lot of fun.
That Luke Bryant song said "truck" exactly the way I say it when I'm making fun of the genre! I swear I hadn't actually heard it like that before but here we are!
Love these lists, Todd. But I actually prefer your Best Lists. Can’t argue with view counts, but just so you’re aware you have loads of fans who love it when you’re just straight up positive.
The only new Jonas songs I really like are "Sucker" and "Hesitate"(which is one of those love songs you can tell was written by someone actually in love), but I am loving the Jonas Brothers reunion because it feels like they actually want healthier relationships with each other and not just a cash grab the way reunions usually do(the talk the brothers have on the Chasing Happiness documentary is way too raw not to be real). I stan them harder now than I ever did when I was a teen, but I'll freely admit that it is less of a "I love their music" thing and more of a "I love it when celebs make healthy life choices" thing.
Exactly! Chasing Happiness definitely made me like them more. I’m a teen now and I only heard of them this year but I like that they’re in happy relationships and their songs reflect that :)
I just realized that for the knocking boots song he’s literally borrowing the hook from the putting things together song from blue clues blues big musical. Literally it’s the same idea I’m not joking
Ok i think this is the first year where i don't know any of the first 5 worst songs. Have i finally descend into music snob territory or are the songs not that big out of the US?
Jonas Brothers have had I think one hit in the UK. They're relative nobodies (in a chart context) outside usa but HUGE there. And of course no one cares about modern country outside the USA.
I work as a full-time teller, so I'm listening to the radio AT LEAST 40 hours a week. When I tell you that this list activated my fight or flight response...
I survived about three quarters of the way into 2020 without ever having heard Señorita. Finally fell into its clutches in a secondhand clothing store for teens. I was so disappointed in myself.
"Everything Marshmello touches turns into soft featureless mush, everything sounds exactly the same" Toddstradamus strikes again. Marshmello just released "Be Kind" with Halsey this year and it sounds completely different from everything he's done so far. It actually sounds like a quality pop song!
Lil Baby kinda sounds like a dot matrix printer. You know the old 80s/early 90s printers with the perforated edges that made the loud middle range screeching?
Can we go back to the days where Green Day, MCR, PATD, and FOB were considered “boy bands” and all had petty feuds against each other. I rather live through that again then what we are experiencing in 2020.
The songs I like by Marshmello, I quickly realized I liked not because of the drops or anything (I listened to some again, and his drops are really weak), but the singers driving the songs. Happier wouldn't be as loved as it is if the lead singer of Bastielle wasn't vocally driving that song or Silence if it wasn't for the tired and burned out way Khalid sings.
I'd say his earlier tracks and remixes are better than his new 'Pop' output, like this Kane Brown mash-up. Check out 'Alone' and his remix of 'Where Are Ü Now.' If you still think he ALWAYS sucked, then I kind of pity you.
@@QJ89 Alone was one of the 1st tracks I heard by Marshmello, and while I liked the message of the song, it didn't really do much else for me. I will check out Where U Now though
Marshmello should have stayed as a relatively unknown Monstercat artist because that's where he released his best stuff. Once he found out he could do the same thing over and over to make hit after hit, Everything went down hill. Similar thing with the Chainsmokers.
@@chok3061 speaking of Chainsmokers, when I first heard Selfie (quoting Todd with Katy Perry) I vowed to hate them forever, but then i heard Roses and saw the potential they had. Just like other people have mentioned though, they really recycled themselves and are inconsistent in quality (I wouldn't hate Don't Let Me Down so much if the drop was better. I can't stand that drop. The many remixes I've heard like the Illineum remix are way better). This is coming from someone who really liked Closer and recent ones like Paris and don't think they deserve as much hate as they get, but can understand why some people do.
This is a huge problem in electronic music, and vocal features are usually treated as an afterthought, which just makes it worse. 90% of the more mainstream, melody-oriented tracks (ie not big atmospheric stuff) that hold up to repeated listens, it's because they treated the song like an actual song, for a change. As a producer, this hasn't been an easy pill to swallow.
Todd: "Should I keep doing these?" Me: "Um, YES! I look forward to them all year long! Every time I hear a shitty song, I ask myself what Todd thinks and if he's going to put it on this list!"
@Elsnowy hey don't make fun of people that have the name Lil. There are great SoundCloud artist the have the name Lil like Lil skies, Lil peep (who unfortunately died), and Lil yachty. They all make great music. Hope you aren't one of them old heads.
Stellvia Hoenheim LOLOL. I like how that’s your measure of someone doing well financially. Lots of musicians have nice instruments but struggle to make a living
When a label claims a video, they only make half of the ad revenue off of it, I think. Sucks when you use 10 songs in a video so several labels claim your song...
You uploaded the worst list before the end of the the year? WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH TODD? Edit; i made a dumb joke why did i get 3k likes??
I'm in my 30s now, but I grew up on boy bands, and I always love when new ones turn up. I'm all for One Direction, even if I'm twice their age. The songs are catchy as hell. But I've never been able to stand the Jonas Brothers. They sound like the Christian "rock" band that performs at the Easter picnic.
0:54 2019: “it’s been really difficult to fill out these ‘worst of’ lists” 2021: “it was harder to fill out the ‘best of’ list than the ‘worst of’ list” man, a lot can happen in two years LOL
'knockin' boots' in brazilian portuguese is an euphemism for dying, which to me makes the song a thousand times better
Makes it sound like the guy just really doesn't want to deal with all the stuff he's listing, and would rather be dead.
That's amazing, I love it!

I think the reason we like looking at negativity is because a guy named todd has entertained us more sitting in his apartment picking apart bad music then a multi billion dollar industry specializing in entertainment
Agreed.
@HedHntr they probably dont want to "offend" people and get a bunch of hate because their afraid its gonna ruin there image or somthing like that

Man, even though Todd's content has a distinct style that he's never exactly fallen out of, it's still apparent that he's changed a lot over the last decade. He seems so much more eloquent and unauthoritative than he was when he started, and I think that's always been what I liked about his stuff. It feels like I want to watch him not because I want him to rip a song to shreds, but because I'm legitimately interested in hearing him talk about this sort of stuff, I really do strive for that kind of charm and strange charisma one day.
Whatever happens, here's to a fruitful decade.
I agree. Todd is one of the few music critics who can be self-deprecatingly funny and eloquent in his analysis of music that he likes and dislikes. I enjoy watching his videos for that reason.
Hastico seconded. You can tell he actually like pop music and he’s not trying to be edgy.
You should do the top ten worst/best hit songs of the decade.
I want this just as an excuse to hear Todd rage about bedrock again just like the old days
@@philbox3productions Gudda Gudda
He said on twitter that he has no interest in doing so
@@Haittavero that's too bad

Controversial prediction, but the song he said was the worst in the decade may find a place on this list
greendragoninn 1 what song was that
Was it a Taylor Swift song?
Blackify ASMR Lewis capaldi someone you loved
He didn't say it was the worst it in the decade, he said it was the worst "number 1 hit" of the decade, which is very different. It's still no "Wiggle"

"Birds need bees"
It's funny how most of the similes in Knocking Boots kinda make literal sense except for this one. How do birds need bees? Birds can't even eat honey
canadmexi The birds and the bees talk? You know? Like the talk...
@@delaneyjensen8594 What talk?
Magenta Dragon “the birds and bees talk” is a euphemism for a parent explaining what sex is to their child once their old enough to hear about it. Puberty tends to be wrapped into the talk as well.
To be fair, everyone kinda needs bees

For some reason I can’t stand The Jonas Brothers, but I like DNCE, Joe Jonas’ band.
At least DNCE's music can be enjoyed by anyone. I'd think the Jonas Brothers are only likable by 2000s pre-teens.
Ironically so do I.
I discovered about 2 weeks ago that I'm kinda into the Jonas Brothers . . . from the 2000s, when they were playing teenybopper mall not-punk. It was fun. Something about that new stuff isn't *fun* . . . though who knows? Maybe in 2033 I'll be sitting around saying how great that 2019 JoBros was.
I was surprised when I heard they got back together. Not to mention I've been hearing "Only Human" on the radio a few times recently, when I was at Cash Converters, an internet cafe and in my carer's car.

The bro country ground zero was Florida Georgia line.
They definitely modernized it, but I think Big & Rich started it.
Yeah, bro-country wasn't a thing at the start of the decade. Country Girl was the first bro-country song (in 2011), and Cruise really got the ball rolling on the trend (when it got popular in 2013).
@@gracecarpinter8623 Even Luke Bryan's earlier work prior to 2011 to me at least still had a traditional feel to it with song's like Do I (probably his best song) and even All My Friend's Say. But yeah after Country Girl (Shake It For Me) it's all been down the crapper in quality. Cruise really set it off at the end of 2012. Even artist's I once respected like Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, and early Jason Aldean sold out. The only Florida Georgia Line song I think is good is Simple.
@@mcamman6193 Blake had a really good song this year, God's Country
@@roddorfj I love God's Country, but I feel like Blake Sheltons 2010s material has been for the majority really subpar compared to his 2000's albums or even his work from the start of the decade. Song's like The Baby, Austin, Some Beach, Nobody But Me, Don't Make Me, and Honey Bee still hold up very well.
if you makes you feel any better Todd there is a rumor that Marshmello doesnt even really make any music he is just a figure piece for a studio making everything
The Alan Smithee of weak EDM pop
Or EDM's Khaled? 😁
Well it is a rumour so let's wait and see if its proven but otherwise, he's wasting most of the decent talent he has.
Would that make him the Milli Vanilli of this year?
Most big EDM producers hand everything off to a team now

It's nice to know that Todd has familiarized himself with modern rap enough to have multiple artists and songs he likes and dislikes.
Always good to diversify what you listen too.
Quavon Blume As he should because so much rap is literally pop at this point and huge on the charts
@@anguishingquark yeah but for the last few years hip hop (Trap) has been a bit of a blindspot for him only acknowledging the blatantly terrible ("Gucci Gang" and "Yes Indeed") and the only song he liked was most because he found the video funny ("Ric Flair Drip").

"Why do you gotta be so critical and negative?"
A. Negativity sells. James Rolfe can attest.
B. Because constant positivity would eventually become boring
C. Refusing to criticize breeds complacency.
D: These aren't "innocent artists", they're people selling a product. You better make your music worth my cash.
Wonderfully succinctly put.
Negativity is fine if it isn't overboard. Todd isn't because he always compares bad songs to ones he does in fact like, and he always expresses a hope that current music will improve. But there's a lot of UA-camrs out there who are just full of so much bile. You could make counterarguments:
Constant negativity also becomes boring.
Criticism is valid but it's obvious some people just want to insult something or make it a vessel to spout their personal views.
Constant, harsh criticism dissuades up and coming creators from breaking into the scene and makes them feel like if they aren't perfect then there's no point.
Balance is key for everything.
Can't wait for ten songs I've never heard of.
Linus Newman I guess im one of them
You can check out fantano's lists for that then lol.
Same. I feel proud to have not heard most of these awful songs.
Yeah I only heard like 3 songs from the combined best and worst list from last year (did he do both last year? Maybe I mean 2017)

I went to Chuck.E Cheese this year when Happier was popular and they were playing the music video to the song on a big ass screen. Now here's the thing THEY EDITED THE DOG DYING OUT!!
good. i dont wanna cry at chuck e. cheese
Ivy The Fish That’s the only place I cry
playing a dog dying at a restaurant filled with kids would be a bad idea.
paradise2pink chuck e. cheese is not just a restaurant. *it’s a place where a kid can be a kid.*
Lil Baby sounds like he's tired. To Lil Baby's management: please let him rest. Maybe if he actually gets some sleep for once he'll start sounding better /s
Rappers are known for being overworked when signed in record labels.
Todd sounds a fair lot more excited and upbeat for this video than he has in a while. That's good; I was starting to get worried that he was getting burnt out on doing videos. Glad to see the Todd of old back for this one!
I guess he's suffering from Revertigo.
He always sounds burned out
I'll admit it, I liked Sucker. It's not high art but I enjoy it.
I can only sing along to it by doing babytalk and idk what that means but it's not a good thing
i only know it because of a hella good mashup making fun of it
@@Nissl61 Yeah that! I dunk on it bc it's kinda lame, but really after this fucking second half of the decade I'm glad to hear stuff that isn't half-asleep depression.
For a while it was going to be my pick for best song of the year. It's still pretty high on my list. Basically it's a better Feel It Still as far as I'm concerned.
They legit just yeeted feel it still and added different lyrics
The Jonas Brother's clip sounds like a lower energy, equally unpleasant Maroon 5.

Love these lists, Todd. But I actually prefer your Best Lists. Can’t argue with view counts, but just so you’re aware you have loads of fans who love it when you’re just straight up positive.
Same, it’s introduced me to some songs I love
I watch his worst lists to see Todd get creative with his criticism. I watch the best lists for recommendations.
I also love his best lists, it's refreshing to see someone still enjoy pop when it's so easy to blanket say it all sucks
Completely agree!
"It sounds like Charlie browns teacher"

The only new Jonas songs I really like are "Sucker" and "Hesitate"(which is one of those love songs you can tell was written by someone actually in love), but I am loving the Jonas Brothers reunion because it feels like they actually want healthier relationships with each other and not just a cash grab the way reunions usually do(the talk the brothers have on the Chasing Happiness documentary is way too raw not to be real). I stan them harder now than I ever did when I was a teen, but I'll freely admit that it is less of a "I love their music" thing and more of a "I love it when celebs make healthy life choices" thing.
girlysword I really only listen to Sucker because of Tripe-Q’s mashup of it.
@@tina1641 Same!
Their old music is better
Exactly! Chasing Happiness definitely made me like them more. I’m a teen now and I only heard of them this year but I like that they’re in happy relationships and their songs reflect that :)
"And there are many interesting things about Marshmello..."
*midroll ad starts*
I just realized that for the knocking boots song he’s literally borrowing the hook from the putting things together song from blue clues blues big musical. Literally it’s the same idea I’m not joking
I wouldn't be surprised. It's an incredibly basic melody.

I support this comment
I mean Bo Burnham beautifully summed up this new-country genre in his special, spot on.
Ok i think this is the first year where i don't know any of the first 5 worst songs.
Have i finally descend into music snob territory or are the songs not that big out of the US?
Jonas Brothers have had I think one hit in the UK. They're relative nobodies (in a chart context) outside usa but HUGE there.
And of course no one cares about modern country outside the USA.
i haven't heard quite a few of these despite being in the us. guess i just don't listen to the right radio stations.
I work as a full-time teller, so I'm listening to the radio AT LEAST 40 hours a week. When I tell you that this list activated my fight or flight response...
What's a teller?
I survived about three quarters of the way into 2020 without ever having heard Señorita. Finally fell into its clutches in a secondhand clothing store for teens. I was so disappointed in myself.
Aren't you supposed to wait until halfway through January
Todd released his worst songs video and Imagine Dragons announced their separation.

Good. I don’t want them to split yet
"Everything Marshmello touches turns into soft featureless mush, everything sounds exactly the same" Toddstradamus strikes again. Marshmello just released "Be Kind" with Halsey this year and it sounds completely different from everything he's done so far. It actually sounds like a quality pop song!
Lil Baby kinda sounds like a dot matrix printer. You know the old 80s/early 90s printers with the perforated edges that made the loud middle range screeching?
YK Osiris sounds liked he smoked 3 packs of cigarettes before he stepped into the recording booth.
Can we go back to the days where Green Day, MCR, PATD, and FOB were considered “boy bands” and all had petty feuds against each other.
I rather live through that again then what we are experiencing in 2020.
MCR is back
The songs I like by Marshmello, I quickly realized I liked not because of the drops or anything (I listened to some again, and his drops are really weak), but the singers driving the songs. Happier wouldn't be as loved as it is if the lead singer of Bastielle wasn't vocally driving that song or Silence if it wasn't for the tired and burned out way Khalid sings.
I'd say his earlier tracks and remixes are better than his new 'Pop' output, like this Kane Brown mash-up.
Check out 'Alone' and his remix of 'Where Are Ü Now.'
If you still think he ALWAYS sucked, then I kind of pity you.
@@QJ89 Alone was one of the 1st tracks I heard by Marshmello, and while I liked the message of the song, it didn't really do much else for me. I will check out Where U Now though
Marshmello should have stayed as a relatively unknown Monstercat artist because that's where he released his best stuff. Once he found out he could do the same thing over and over to make hit after hit, Everything went down hill. Similar thing with the Chainsmokers.
@@chok3061 speaking of Chainsmokers, when I first heard Selfie (quoting Todd with Katy Perry) I vowed to hate them forever, but then i heard Roses and saw the potential they had. Just like other people have mentioned though, they really recycled themselves and are inconsistent in quality (I wouldn't hate Don't Let Me Down so much if the drop was better. I can't stand that drop. The many remixes I've heard like the Illineum remix are way better). This is coming from someone who really liked Closer and recent ones like Paris and don't think they deserve as much hate as they get, but can understand why some people do.
This is a huge problem in electronic music, and vocal features are usually treated as an afterthought, which just makes it worse. 90% of the more mainstream, melody-oriented tracks (ie not big atmospheric stuff) that hold up to repeated listens, it's because they treated the song like an actual song, for a change.
As a producer, this hasn't been an easy pill to swallow.
A clever enough kidnapper to take Todd wouldn't make a n00bie mistake like posting the worst video too early. It's him.
idk why i started singing "i love it when you call me despacito".
Oh lord xD
still better than the original
Todd: "Should I keep doing these?"
Me: "Um, YES! I look forward to them all year long! Every time I hear a shitty song, I ask myself what Todd thinks and if he's going to put it on this list!"
That burn on Marshmallow was so brutal, Imma call Todd campfire now.
