Stupid meme and terrible song.<br><br>this barely qualifies as music
Last edited: 01/03/2013 12:06

Pretty crap.
**
In hindsight my hatring of this was a bit irrational. Sure it's no good and quite irritating but it's not as bad as I'd previously made it out to be. Still not a fan and I don't think it should've gone to #1 but it's more tolerable nowadays. Still hate the memes and the dance with a passion, but I shouldn't hate the song because of that.

2013 has shown its first true abomination
*
This is terrifyingly poor! This better not be Gangnam Style 2.0. It was at least good and funny.
****
The beats are good, but those 'sounds' are bad. Strange novelty. <br><br>This is actually a fine trap track! :P

Wow this is shit, One of the worst songs i've heard in a long time.
****
I have successfully avoided this for a very long time and I really don't have a problem with it anymore. 3.5

The new Gangnam Style i don't know whether to laugh or cry. <br><br>Edit: Not anymore. The videos are getting too repetitive.

Anyone who thinks this isn't music doesn't know what music is.

AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Linkin Park, Eminem and Weezer since 2003, Imagine Dragons, Paramore and Taylor Swift prior to their last albums, Kiss, All but a select handful of Oasis and Guns 'n' Roses songs, Michael Jackson before or after the Quincy Jones albums, Elvis Presley, 30 Seconds To Mars, Santana since 2000, Aerosmith, Passenger, Evanescence, all of Timbaland's work as a performing artist rather than a producer, Silverchair prior to 1999, The Offspring, Muse's last album, Chris Brown when he was still liked by the public (and when he wasn't), 'Zombie' by the Cranberries, 'The Reason' by Hoobastank, Savage Garden and Alice Cooper.<br><br>This song is better than all of the above

This is amazingly dull and overall quite awful, but I guess the meme is slightly amusing.
*
Holy shit this is awful. No redeeming qualities here. Poorer than Gangnam Style and Party Rock Anthem by a country mile.
**
It's the next Gangnam Style but it's sounds like two different sound effects in rhythm. It makes me wish that Gangnam Style was still a big thing.<br><br>EDIT: The videos are amusing enough to not hate it that much.<br><br>EDIT2: I've been too generous with the rating. It's 2 stars at most.

It's the 'Here's Johnny' of 2013, complete with electronic burps and farts. What a headache!<br>I don't mind that slow bit between 1:24 and 1:50.<br>
*
Nooooooooo
*
This is just noise. And not even good noise at that.
****
Surprise, surprise...I don't hate this, for now. Actually it's reasonably good; the beat is hot and the videos I've seen so far are amusing. 3.5
*
Everything about this song is crap. Even the dance.

Ich gebe zu, am anfang habe ich es gehasst!!! Aber nun gefällt es miir und das sehr gut!!! Der beat ist verdammt geil! Läuft in den clubs sehr gut!<br><br>Was ich mir überlege ist, wie kann ein so schlecht bewerteter so einen grossen erfolg haben?! Da geht was nicht ganz auf ;)
**
One of the most boring songs I have ever heard. If you can even call it a song?
*
Some people complain about Glee!<br>Some people complain about Rihanna, Britney, Pink etc.<br>Some people complain about Nickelback, Coldplay etc.<br>Some people complain about County music!<br>Some people complain about Alternative JJJ music!<br>Everybody bitches about music yeah? It's human nature...<br>You see I consider Skrillex to be a talented artist, even go back as far as the early 90's techno instrumentals like 'Here's Johnny' OR 'Born Slippy'.<br>This however I do not classify music, it's nothing but a crazed fad that has been pushed to the masses by social media.<br>It's an absolute farce this thing is able to chart nevermind claim the #1 position on a national chart, it makes 'Gangnam Style' sound like a masterpiece!<br>I'm sorry ARIA, you may have fucked up with The Voice fiasco but this I can't and won't forgive, SHAME!<br>This track is up their as one of the worst songs ever to chart in Australia!
******
This song is awesome! How can everyone hate it? It is so infectious and the bass is awesome! And how about the killer line: "Do the Harlem Shake"? So glad it was at Number 1! Good on you, Baauer!<br>6 Stars (it is an awesome song)

Oh God!
*
I do not approve.
*
This is bad and I'm sick of all the dances.
*
No Words To Describe This . Not Music!
*
This is not music.
**
At least Gangnam Style was decent; this is a bad song, as well as a bad meme.
*
1 star
*****
Not THE worst 2013 hit, and it is listenable, but once every few months is enough for me.<br><br>Edit: Haters gonna hate. 4* now<br>Edit: This is very fun to listen to now actually. 5*

There is music and then there is noise. This falls into the latter category. As a 33 second meme, the music doesn't annoy plus it has the ridiculous images to distract you from the noise. As a legitimate song, it is terrible. There just isn't anything catchy about it, And for me, it is the most embarrassing song to ever hit the top on the ARIA chart, the fact it didn't last long in this day and age shows that most likely the majority of purchases were so people could make their own meme as opposed to actually liking it. The only positive thing I can say about it is that at least Australia only kept it at #1 for a week unlike in the USA
***
The track on it's own is below average but all the interesting videos on Youtube make it tolerable. Track: 2. Videos: 4. Overall: 3.
**
there are worse ..
****
9 weeks in the top 50 is an incredibly short chart run for #1! Holy crap!<br><br>Anyone who criticizes this is unaware of the quality memes that this song has inspired :P

I had never really heard this track until very recently - there are definite similarities with "Here's Johnny" - which I strongly disliked at first but now I find them freakishly fascinating. This track has its quirks, and for the most part I find them reasonably palatable. I just wish I could crump! 3.75*

Was always disposable. 2.4*
