Has anyone heard this piece of tat? First he ruins Dead or Alive's classic, by sampling and mangling it; (In fact, not even sampling it, just basically copying the tune and the words) now, he's even ruining songs that are more recent!

Why God why, did Flo Rida think that using the chorus of 'Blue (Da Ba Dee)' by Eiffel 65 from 1999 was necessary? Talk about ruining another decent song for the sake of yet another shitty, mundane R+B track!

*Sigh*

Sampling a song does not ruin the original, stop being so melodramatic.

I like that one.

For the worst I'd have to nominate this one:

Slim Thug- I Run (Flock of Seagulls- I Ran)

He's just another one of those completely shit artists... correction, acts... who got lucky and is spewing out things to sell. He won't be around long hopefully.

Shocked that he manages to do well to be honest. He's in the top 10 in the US at the moment with this song!

My vote has to go for Jelluz's Happy Mealz, sampling Cruel Angel's Thesis, the theme from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
