No. 8: Chumbawamba – Tubthumping, 1997
The British anarcho-punk band had been performing in the music industry, admittedly in semi-obscurity, for several years before Tubthumping hit the scene and became a favorite with listeners worldwide. Since then, the single has also been ranked on several lists of the most annoying songs, but the damage has already been done. The lyric “I get knocked down” is pretty much ingrained in our memories for life.
