My wife is a music nerd, so I asked her this question. Her answer: Summer Nights from “Grease”. The entire song is perfect for what it is, except for the very last word. John Travolta switches to his falsetto range to sing the word “nights” in a style that reminds me of the Bee Gees, and it just doesn’t fit with all the vocals that came before it. It’s literally a sour note to end what’s otherwise a perfectly good song.

Highway 61 Revisited could have been my favorite Bob Dylan song, except for that damn slide whistle.

Almost all the songs I know of that are good, except one part, generally the bad part is just random noise or repetition at the end of the song that just grates on you the more you hear it.

Method Man is one of Wu-Tang’s best rap songs but it starts with a lengthy and disturbing section where the various members take turns describing how they’d torture people. Method Man ends the section with arguably the worst method.

It’s pretty neat I guess and is supposed to show you how depraved Method Man’s character is supposed to be. But when you listen to it like 20 times it just gets old fast. I don’t wanna hear about rusty screwdrivers again…

It’s not that it sounds bad, but NIN’s Hurt has that loud af riff that I have to prepare my ears for every time
