Worst Songs Ever: Chart-Topping Disasters

The Story Behind Barenaked Ladies' 'One Week': 90s Pop Genius or Atrocity?

While the consensus is clear—this song is a strong contender for the title—Andrew dares to defend the band's quirky charm and their polite, Canadian nature.

We'll break down the song's convoluted lyrics and catchy rhythm with a mix of humor and insight, delving into the visceral reactions it provokes. Along the way, we'll also compare Barenaked Ladies to their musical kin, from the laid-back grooves of Sugar Ray and the zany flair of the B52s to the boisterous anthems of Smash Mouth and the timeless harmonies of The Beach Boys.

Join us for a lively discussion filled with sharp debates, clever commentary, and a few unexpected revelations as we determine whether "One Week" truly deserves its place in the musical hall of shame or if it's simply an underrated oddity.
