Let’s take a ride down the rabbit hole of horrible songs. Some are popular, some went platinum but all of them make us want to die.

  1. WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! - Raye

    WHERE IS MY HUSBAND! - Raye

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! In this episode of 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we take on WHERE IS MY HUSBAND by RAYE — a song that somehow manages to be chaotic, catchy, and deeply unhinged all at once. We unpack the vocal acrobatics, the theatre-kid energy, and the lyrical panic of a woman sprinting through emotional traffic with zero plan and maximum confidence. Along the way, we ask the important questions: is this genius, is this annoying, or is it both at the same time? Plus, a brutally honest breakdown of the song’s backstory, production choices, cultural context, and the inevitable question that defines the show — does this track earn its place on the list, or is it getting off lightly?  DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

  2. Zombie - YUNGBLUD

    Zombie - YUNGBLUD

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we take on “Zombie” by YUNGBLUD — a song that wants very badly to be important, emotional, and generation-defining… and somehow ends up sounding like a Hot Topic TED Talk. We dig into the song’s trauma-core lyrics, its earnest but exhausting messaging, and the strange space YUNGBLUD occupies between punk rebellion and motivational poster. Along the way we ask the real questions: is this raw honesty, manufactured angst, or just shouting feelings until they feel profound? There’s over-analysis, cultural side-quests, unnecessary hostility, and of course a fresh round of Could You Beat Them in a Fight? — because if you’re going to scream about society collapsing, you should at least be able to throw a punch. It’s emotional. It’s loud. It’s well-meaning. And it might make you want to lie down on the floor and stare at the ceiling. DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

    The Hills - The Weeknd (with Joe Orchard)

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we head straight into the fog with The Hills by The Weeknd. A song that sounds like fame, paranoia, sex, and self-loathing all yelling over each other through blown speakers. It’s moody. It’s aggressive. It’s been blasted in cars at dangerous volumes since 2015. Joining us is Joe Orchard from the Get The Shot podcast by Tamron, bringing strong opinions, zero fear, and the correct amount of chaos. We dig into the lyrics, the nihilistic flexing, the distorted production choices, and whether The Hills is a masterpiece of dark pop or just Abel yelling his problems at us very loudly. There’s talk of ego, excess, emotional damage, and of course a serious discussion about whether any of us could beat The Weeknd in a fight. Turn it up. Regret it later.

    Cool Kids - Echosmith

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we put Cool Kids by Echosmith on trial. A song that was absolutely unavoidable in the 2010s. Radio loved it. Ads loved it. Everyone else slowly lost their mind. We break down the lyrics, the suspiciously manufactured vibe, the “are they saying cool kids or cookies?” theory, and whether this track was built purely to live forever in commercials. There’s also a deep dive into band lore, questionable industry decisions, and a surprisingly aggressive conclusion to Could You Beat Them In a Fight? Is Cool Kids harmless indie pop? A focus-grouped radio weapon? Or just another song that overstayed its welcome? Press play and decide for yourself. DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

    Heroes - David Bowie

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we take on “Heroes” — a song that somehow manages to be genuinely beautiful, historically important, and still capable of making us argue for way too long. We dig into David Bowie in his Berlin era, the real story behind the kiss by the Wall, why this song sounds enormous even when it’s barely moving, and how Heroes became shorthand for triumph, hope, and stadium-sized emotion, whether it earned it or not. Along the way, we talk Cold War romance, production tricks that shouldn’t work but absolutely do, Bowie mythology versus reality, and whether repeated cultural overuse can turn even a great song into something… complicated. It’s respectful. It’s argumentative. And yes, someone still has to ask the question: could you beat David Bowie in a fight? DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

    Complicated - Avril Lavigne

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! This week on 1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die, we put “Complicated” under the microscope and ask the question nobody wanted answered in 2002: was this actually pop punk, or were we all aggressively gaslit by a necktie and some eyeliner? We dig into how Avril Lavigne was pitched as a skater-punk outsider while quietly being moulded in a boardroom, why Complicated sounds a lot more like country rock than Warped Tour, and how a song with zero pop-punk staples somehow became the face of the genre. Along the way, we cover industry plants, the Matrix songwriting factory, the unhinged Avril replacement conspiracy, questionable skateboarding technique, violent crimes against a supermarket hot-dog mascot, and the all-important closer: could Gavin beat Avril Lavigne in a fight circa 2002? It’s messy. It’s nostalgic. Several people’s piss is reportedly burning. DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

    Your Body Is a Wonderland - John Mayer

    Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! John Mayer’s “Your Body Is a Wonderland” should be a sweet little love song… but somehow it ends up sounding like a guided tour through a serial killer’s scrapbook. In this episode, we break down the lyrics, the deep-sea blanket metaphors, the miles of skin, the hand-only approach to intimacy, and the unbelievably cursed music video stare-downs. We also dig into the Grammy it somehow won, Mayer’s teenage songwriting origins, his watch obsession, and why this track might be the most dentist-waiting-room song ever written. If you’ve ever wondered how a “romantic pop song” turned into a psychological thriller, this one is for you. DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!
