What is your "windows up, volume to 11" absolute trash song?

We all have musical standards. But we also all have songs that completely obliterate those standards the second we're alone. I’m talking about a track that is objectively terrible. Maybe it’s cheesy, meant for toddlers, or the lyrics sound like they were written by an aggressive AI. But when it comes on, you’re hitting the steering wheel like you’re at Wembley Stadium.

What is the song you know is absolute garbage, but you still crank to 11 in private? No judgment here (okay, maybe a little).

Not trash, but definitely crank worthy (and I always think she's singing "sexy belly")

YO PENSANDO EN TI TODA LA NOCHE
QUE TANTO TE QUERIA

(me thinking of you all night long - how much I loved you)

Ech edani = Why did I do dat?

 

Still can't believe that's the Life Is A Highway guy. I've been culturally aware of both of those songs for decades and someone here pointed that out recently.

Life Is A Highway is also a great song for this list.
 
This, by definition, is cringey all around for it's lyrics...but for a 100% sugary pop song, the beat is solid. Judge away. Furthermore, this is lightyears better than this band's Cake By The Ocean which was a massive hit.

 
The entire album Marc et Robert by Les Rita Mitsouko - crankable AND trashy.










and...

There is literally nothing about this song/video/performance I should like, but it's so damn catchy.

I'd heard it's is (or was) the go to song for DJs to get people out on the dance floor.



Like your style but I'm going with this one.

Once time I drove into the company parking lot blasting this. Didn't realize my window was down. Got some looks. Didn't care.
