Yes, I would rather hafta hear "Sweet Dreams", "Always Be My Baby", "It’s All Coming Back to Me Now", "C’Mon N’ Ride It", "Macarena" or "Where Do You Go" over this song. It's a channel changer.

Surprisingly, I get 7

26 21 4 Non Blondes - What's Up?
20 20 Cypress Hill - Insane in the Brain - If I heard it today, I'd be changing the channel pretty fast. But it was an original.
19 23 Aerosmith - Cryin'
11 09 The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - If I heard it today, I'd be changing the channel pretty fast. But it was an original.
09 11 Billy Joel - The River of Dreams - Not sure why I'm the only one to include this?
05 05 Soul Asylum - Runaway Train
02 01 UB40 - Can't Help Falling in Love - Not sure why I'm the only one to include this?

Also...
03 03 Tag Team - Whoomp! There It Is - I know this (Also an original, but just too annoying to put in the good list)
23 18 95 South - Whoot, There It Is - WTF is this?

I have never heard the Billy Joel song or the UB40 song hence they were not included in my list. My list is only "known good/ok".

My wife loves that Billy Joel song. I put it as an ok. It's the one someone tried to sue him over, claiming Billy stole the song from him


23 18 95 South - Whoot, There It Is - WTF is this?
Jay Ski, identified by the L.A. Times as the leader of 95 South, explains the genesis of “Whoot, There It Is” this way: “I got the idea for the single from the clubs in Atlanta. I heard people saying, ‘Whoot, there it is,’ and I thought it was a good idea for a single. We recorded it last November.” He also casts some doubt on Tag Team’s timeline, saying, “In February, I took the single to Cecil Glenn (of Tag Team), who was the DJ at a club in Atlanta. Maybe he heard our record and said: ‘I can do one like that too.’” Finally, Jay Ski says, “We know of plenty cases where people have gone in to buy our record and wound up buying their record instead.”
