WEEKLY POP CULTURE POWER RANKINGS

The Post’s arts editor Dustin Parkes ranks the five worst songs to interrupt someone else’s party playlist with

5 “Wonderwall” by Oasis / “Bittersweet Symphony” by The Verve

At a certain time and place, being familiar with the eight hour loops in a Much Music broadcast might have been considered cool. But please don’t try to recreate that moment at my party in 2016.

4 “This is the Remix” by Girl Talk

Wow. You’ve really got your fingers on the pulse of what the kids are listening to. And you’re so dark and mysterious. I bet you’re a really complex character. Now, please stay the hell away from my bluetooth accessible devices.

3 “Hurricane” by Bob Dylan

Because no one got enough of this song when trailers for the Denzel Washington movie blanketed television in 1999. Every time you think this song is going to come to its merciful end, Dylan somehow has another incomprehensible verse to add.

2 “Hey, Jude” by The Beatles

Oh, sorry. Didn’t realize it was 2: 00 a. m. at a karaoke joint, and the frustrated host has way too many requests to fill before closing time, so she just called everyone up to the stage to sing one last song.

1 Any b-side, rarity or unreleased cover song by anyone

Yeah, bud, this party is for you. Someone else’s birthday? A neighbour’s house warming? Nah, we’re here to give you the opportunity to show your knowledge of post- Radiohead Brit bands covering Britney Spears.
