TOP 5 THAT’S SO FETCH TOP 10 LISTS
Today, July 9, marks the 1st year anniversary of That’s So Fetch. I started this website with Top 10 lists in mind, simply because its a simple and efficient way to convey opinions to the reader. The Top 10 list was popularized by David Letterman, and still to this day is one of the most popular forms of information sharing on the internet.
Here are the TOP 5 TOP 10 LISTS from the first year of That’s So Fetch:
5. TOP 10 HOTTEST FORMER CHILD STARS
I had the pleasure of meeting Lacey Chabert (above) earlier this year, which gave me the idea to do a list of the hottest former child stars. With some “before and after” pictures and a lot of hot ass, this list slowly become one of the top lists in TSF’s short history. Although not the most popular of my “Hot Chicks” lists (Top 10 Hottest Chicks with Talent gets that award), this list has the most creativity and a great collection of girls whom you probably didn’t know turned out to by hot. [see the list]
4. TOP 10 MOST ANNOYING PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK
There’s so much to say about Facebook. I’ve had my account since 2004, only a few short months after the site’s launch. It started as a networking tool for college students - in which you were required a .edu email account to join - and I slowly started to witness the demise of its cult-following, and the rise of a narcissistic society. With the implementation of the news feed, the status update, the photo albums, and allowing parents, teachers, and high school students to join, “The Facebook” had become a cesspool of dumbasses … thus this list.

3. TOP 10 WORST SKYMALL PRODUCTS
SkyMall is a fucking joke, but you knew that. As I was on a flight last year, I had stowed away my iPod (because a we all know, it can interfere with landing an airplane…), I picked up the SkyMall magazine and entertained myself with the absurdity. But a list like this isn’t only making fun of the inventors, it’s making a mockery of the people who buy these worthless items. The dude who invented the Indoor Dog Restroom is laughing all the way to the bank, but he’s only a jackass if he actually uses this idiotic piece of ingenuity. So I brought the magazine home with me, and a Top 10 list was born. [see the list]
2. TOP 10 CHICK REPELLENT ITEMS OF 2008
I have never been one to stop short of making fun of someone for wearing a bluetooth headset or using a neck pillow on an airplane, so I found it only fitting that I brought my degradation to the internet. We’re not all perfect, there’s people reading this right now who are probably wearing Crocs and think its cool … but don’t say I didn’t warn you. The list spawned a Part 2 shortly thereafter, and is the second most popular post in TSF history. [see the list]
1. TOP 10 MOST OVERPLAYED SONGS AT COLLEGE PARTIES/COLLEGE BARS
On August 4 of last year when this blog was just shy of a month old, I created a list that would catapult it from virtual obscurity to nationwide attention. As I was driving across the country last summer helping a friend move to Los Angeles, a song came across my iPod and through the stereo that sparked a conversation about overplayed songs at college parties - and Journey’s 1981 hit “Don’t Stop Believin’” was without a doubt the most overplayed song at college parties and college bars. A song that only reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time is now the most downloaded song of all time not released in the 21st century.
The list spread like wildfire and over 45,000 people visited my website in just under 2 days. The list was picked up by Sports Illustrated and used as the basis for the morning show of a Las Vegas radio station. The day after I published the article, I had over 100 emails in my inbox. Evidently I was the first person to notice and publicize the fact that these 10 songs were being overplayed at colleges across the nation. [see the list]
No commentsTop 10 Most Overplayed Songs At College Parties/College Bars
If you’re like me, you love the smell of mildewed beer in the morning - that smell after a college party with 4 kegs of Natural Light or Milwaukee’s best. The bathroom has a caked over, black layer of filth on the floor and the toilet is clogged from that freshman co-ed’s Mexican food vomit (she needs to learn how to drink, this is a public school damn it).
At any moment in the night you can walk into any college party in America and hear one of these songs being played from the sonically compromised, low-fi stereo and they have separated the left and right speaker, sending one to the living room and the other to the porch. If it’s a frat party, no one cares about destroying the house because subservient pledges will take care of it in the morning.
Whilst you are reading this list, just envision that ego-maniac dressed like he’s in a box at the Kentucky Derby pumping his fist in the air screaming the lyrics to his favorite overplayed song. He hasn’t purchased an album since the 90s and his iPod is basically a 100 song mix tape.
10. Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
9. Garth Brooks - Friends In Low Places
8. Van Halen - Runnin’ With The Devil
7. Boston - More Than A Feeling
6. Anything by Jack Johnson or any other marginally talented acoustic guitar-based singer
5. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
4. Rick Springfield - Jessie’s Girl
3. Anything by or featuring Lil Wayne
2. Bon Jovi - Livin’ On A Prayer
1. Journey - Don’t Stop Believin’
^if you don’t hear this song at a party, you aren’t at a party.
