Continuing on from the one hit wonders of 2013, it would be shameful if I didn't mention yet another well known hit from the year, we all know it, but perhaps not as many people love it as much as others. It's not so much that it's catchy more for the fact that it is just straight up stupid but in the way that it's stupidly enjoyable. I'm speaking of course of...

Spoiler for what does the fox say:


Of course, it does appeal to anybody who listens to the radio during the day, as it's just full of the same bull**** autotune that many artists seem to be clinging onto, however this one does add a bit of originality for the out of sorts chorus, not saying it helps it in any way, but it's different.

What would a one hit wonder be without a live performance? As I mentioned with Gangnam Style, these guys also performed live, and I won't say it's bad because I actually think they carry it through a live performance very well:



Some people who have never heard this are probably thinking to themselves..."this is a joke, right?", and me personally, I have to say that I do think it's just meant as a joke. We all know that when something gets noticed on the internet, it blows up, but this honestly cannot be more than a joke that just got big. This'll definitely always remain as a one hit wonder, but nothing wrong with the band enjoying their 5 minutes in fame for making something that isn't meant to be taken seriously.
