5. “Who Let the Dogs Out?” by Baha Men This song is too obnoxious to put in movies, yet we do it anyway. Movie makers know better than to put Chumbawamba in their movies, but still make this mistake. This offense ranks so low on the list because, fortunately, the movies that use this song usually [...]
