2014 Musical Flashback: Trashy Songs of the Year!

It is often said that songs are written from the soul, but in the case of the worst songs of this year, they seem to suck the soul of the listener. As the year 2014 wraps up to welcome 2015, BollyCurry brings to you the top 14 songs of the year that will destroy your ear drums, and most likely scar you from within as they did to us. Grab a cup of coffee, your favorite reading classes and a pair of ear plugs - in case you decide to YouTube any of these songs out of curiosity. Just remember that curiosity killed the cat!

Although there never seems to be a shortage of horrendous songs in Bollywood, you can always expect Akshay Kumar's rom-coms to ensure you aren't deprived! It's unfortunate to say but Akki's negative "ishq" songs can give Salman Khan's "naina" songs a run for their money. However, we have to admit, getting Mika to sing this song was clever, Bollywood. We mean, who better right?

Did we hear that Himesh Reshammiya was singing a Punjabi song? On second thought, after listening to that, we doubt even Arijit Singh could have made it bearable to listen to. Bollywood didn't seem to get the memo when we clearly said last year, that the Bollywood tapori songs and Punjabi Bhangra music fusion just don't work. Move on, Bollywood. As a side note, more mouth than nose for Himesh? Impressive indeed. We'll drink to that, because, we're pun-jabi mast (why the emphasis on the pun so much, Himesh?).


We expected better, Ajay Devgn, we really did. If anything, Himesh definitely made a comeback that will keep him in the highlights with the numerous songs that BollyCurry has come to love - well, for this article at least. In other news, naa aana meri gali, naa aana meri gali. This one would rather go back to listening to the Aashqui 2 tracks once again.

First of all, appropriate title, Bollywood. If that wasn't nonsense, we don't know what is. Second of all, Mika Singh you're right up there with Himesh on our list - yes, please worry. Moving on to the song itself, apparently Tinsel Town has decided that actual lyrics are overrated hence why they decided to translate Hindi proverbs into English. (Grammar nazis around the globe are convulsing in horror at the moment.) Throw in a dancing Shak Rukh Khan, and you've got yourself a hit song! But, all is not in the well if end is not in the hell.

Hat-trick for Ajay! Though, Honey Singh, congratulations! Only one song so far on the list? We're surprised, our readers are surprised, everybody is surprised. The lyrics are getting redundant, Honey. The beginning even sounded like the male Hindi version of "Lak 28". Oh, the horror. Aata majhi satakli, indeed.

We now know what part of the body Bollywood loves the most. Technically, this was a known fact from the start but it's official now after all the "toohs" and "bootiyas". This song makes us cringe so much, we don't even have words to describe how much we hate it.

Ah, Honey, you never disappoint. You always deliver what people expect of you. Next time, be careful to not openly advertise the stolen Hollywood music right in the start. Apple Bottom Jeans or Low - Step Up 2 anyone? Though watching Salman mouth the rap was a sight. Work on it a little more Sallu, it might be a bit believable next time.

Himesh is on a roll, ladies and gentlemen! Punjabi, Gujrati, what's next, South Indian? Now that we think about it, that might be interesting. Though if anyone could come out with a trashy song, it would have to be Himesh (we remember you too, Honey).

Caller tune, baby, caller tune. The songs catchy, the dance steps are a relief for non-dancers but hell, if the lyrics weren't so dumb, we would have let this song be forgotten this time around. But, we won't lie and say this song is about to be replayed the minute this article is finished, only because we can mimic the dance moves.

How did we know the song was going to be Punjabi the minute we read the title? Oh right, because according to Bollywood, all Punjabis do is drink, and drink some more. Bollywood's regional stereotypes are amusing. At least the South Indian stereotype about lungis isn't as liver damaging as this one. In short, try harder B-Town.


Unfortunately Anushka Manchanda was right Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan, tera luck luck luck ajj naiyyo chalna. The song just doesn't go down well with us. What does the chorus even mean? "Aaja ho jaaye thoda lucky tu, lucky me". Did we make the mistake of expecting some proper grammatically correct, meaningful lyrics again? Our bad. On a side note, the world must really be ending because we missed Honey Singh for that rap in the song. Better luck next time!

We love Honey Singh so much, we just had to help him out here. Only because Himesh seems to be winning the battle. But oh wait, isn't this a duet with Himesh? More importantly, isn't this Himesh's big come back movie? We didn't realize this had actually released. So it is true then, Himesh. In your city, you are alone.. Let's give the Box Office a break from your flop movies.

The nasal voice is back! Here we were hoping Himesh had improved in the singing department if not acting, but he seems to be a lost case in both. The results of the movie from the BO surely must've been the "trumpets of love" from the audience. We hope you get it, Himesh. Hope being the keyword.

Oh dear, is the new Surroor? We'll tell you who's kasoor it is, Honey, it's yours. And Himesh's.

In conclusion, it seems Mr. Himesh Reshammiya has broken all records for the worst songs in a year. Shockingly, he makes our beloved Honey Singh look good. Not many posses that talent so kudos to him! Aside from him, Happy New Year bags the worst songs for a movie. What a coincidence because we were just about to wish our lovely readers a very Happy New Year!

For the coming year, we don't hope for less trashier songs, we just hope for less Himesh.
