I came across this @RollingStone article about @britneyspears& #39;s "...Baby One More Time"
Thinking back, I was in 8th or 9th grade, probably at the height of my skateboarding and punk music phase, drawing dumb anarchy logos on binders.
I would have never said that& #39;s a good song.

I would have never said that& #39;s a good song.
But now, I can comfortably admit that the song SLAPS. And the music video& #39;s chord progression and deep piano notes are angsty and remind me of teenage-hood, more than any punk or rock song.
It got me thinking, what insanely popular songs are/were outside of your music taste, but SLAP? A list from me:

For the most part, there is a menacing undertone and/or chord progression that is pretty consistent across all these songs and the actual lyrics seem to be incidental.
What pop songs are on your list?
Anywhoo, Happy Blursday.
