** "Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton

to:

** "Lovin' You" by Minnie RipertonRiperton: The song's lightweight, saccharine tone combined with its infamously awful whistle note is ripe for Todd to hate.

** "Upside Down" by Jack Johnson: While this song missed the top 20 and the year-end list, Todd could make an exception to reaffirm his hatred for Jack Johnson.

** "Upside Down" by Jack Johnson: While this song missed the top 20 and the year-end list, Todd could make an exception to reaffirm his hatred for Jack Johnson. That said, this is considered to be one of Jack's most acclaimed and beloved songs for its sweetness, so it's very possible Todd could either find it decent or have a soft spot for it.

** "Satisfy You" by Puff Daddy featuring R. Kelly: Despite hitting #2, this song got terrible reviews and was the point when Puff Daddy sank from being the biggest pop rapper in the world to a B-tier act. It's also possible that Todd could consider this a massive case of HarsherInHindsight considering both artists would be charged with serious cases of rape and sexual assault in the years since.

** "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex: His ''One Hit Wonderland'' retrospective noted that this song's appeal wears extremely thin and that it ultimately comes across as little more than a lame joke of a song.

** "Red Red Wine" by Neil Diamond: While Todd will probably tolerate it more than the [=UB40=] cover, he will probably still dislike it for being written by an artist that at this point had started to be considered inoffensive acoustic pop.

** "Tic-Tac-Toe" by Kyper: Possibly unlikely because Todd said the Yes sample is effective, despite the terrible lyrics.

to:

** "Tic-Tac-Toe" by Kyper: Possibly Todd spent the ''One-Hit Wonderland'' episode mocking the poor lyrics and clumsy sex metaphor, and cited it as an example of a One-Hit Wonder that has been rightly forgotten to time. Still, given that he did state "it has its charms" and praised the Yes sample, it seems unlikely because Todd said the Yes sample is effective, despite the terrible lyrics.to make this list.

Removing Harden My Heart from the list. Todd made a positive tweet about the song so his shock might just be surprise.


** "Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash: Todd was shocked that this was outperforming Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" at the time of its release, implying it doesn't leave much of a positive impression on him.
