* ''I Get Wet'' by Andrew WK. The album's subject matter consists of three things: partying, getting drunk, and girls. Drilled into your head repeatedly. It would normally be dismissed, except for two things. First is that [[EarWorm the songs themselves are incredibly catchy.]] Second is the fact that the songs are not supposed to be taken seriously at all. [[WordOfGod Andrew WK himself]] doesn't take it seriously, saying "I just wanted to make a bunch of dumb songs that would be good for getting drunk to." Even [[StopHavingFunGuys music critics]] love the album because they agree with the catchiness quotient and admit it succeeds at its intended purpose.

* ''{{Thumbelina}}'s'' razzie award-winning [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3p3kOIlBrM&p=B79386C483A5B8CE "Marry the Mole"]] is hilarious [[SoUnfunnyItsFunny for the]] [[SoBadItsGood wrong reason]]. Unlike [[{{Horrible/Music}} its respective comedy numbers]], however, this one has its own NarmCharm: the lyrics sounds like Ms. Fieldmouse is making it up along as she goes, while she herself [[CloudCuckoolander falls off her rocker]] during her song (wearing a pincushion as a dress is not normal behavior), not to mention her FamilyUnfriendlyAesop about marrying for money. Some fans wonder [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome why this even got a razzie in the first place]].

[[hottip:* : I adore NC, don't get me wrong, but his green-screens are... Not good.

* "Always" by {{Erasure}} is a total EarWorm, so corny that it shows up in stool, and the music is full of electronic beeps and boops that sound like [[StarWars R2-D2]] scatting, but there's an earnest quality to the song's unabashed cheesiness that makes it [[[YourMileageMayVary nearly]]] impossible to hate. The lead singer's fantastic pipes help out quite a lot.

* Lucia Pamela's album ''Into Outer Space With Lucia Pamela''. Sounding like someone's boozy great aunt doing an impersonation of EthelMerman, she brays through thirteen songs (which seem to contain the same three backing tracks repeated over and over), each with a spoken word introduction, about a fanciful trip to the moon.
* Notorious in prog-rock circles is ''At King,'' the 1985 debut album by the Swiss neo-progressive band Deyss. Reportedly, the sword-fight effects were created by clinking butter knives together!

** 2008's Irish entry was a turkey puppet (originally a vulture, but it got retconned shortly after his introduction, which was over a decade ago) singing a SoBadItsGood song about how the Eurovision has become SoBadItsGood (or possibly horrible). This is a few post-modernisms too many for a lot of people, who think the song is simply and shallowly crap. Thus, it didn't get past the semi-finals.

*** You're CompletelyMissingThePoint. The original poster ''cannot'' accept that a genre like ''a cappella'' metal exists; hence the pronouncement that their output is, and cannot be anything but, bad. There is an A Cappella Ghetto, just as surely as there is a SciFiGhetto... and, frankly, the OP buying into it says more about his/her narrow-mindedness than anything else.

COME ON, FUCK A GUY!" (Actually it's "fucking guy"), along with its suitably outrageous [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPeHk4WMWpY AAAAAAAAAHHHHH! COME ON, FUCK A GUY!]]music video]]. The sheer mix of rather simplistic rhymes (Ladies come to see me, because they can't fuck! You'll never sell a record, because your rap sucks!), gratuitous use of any and all debauched tropes relating to rap music (It seems like it might be a diss track, only Chuggo seemingly forgot to explain whom he's dissing at any point the whole song), the video's low-budget quality and sometimes questionable choices of its visuals (A skull? You sure you weren't trying for a heavy metal band, Chuggo?) and its occasional use of elements that don't seem to belong anywhere in rap music, (I put mayonaise on all my food!) earns it this trope so hard, it's nearly impossible to believe it wasn't an intentional joke.
