#42 -- "Steal My Sunshine" -- LEN

Year: 1999
Chart Position: #9
Last year's Worst Songs position: unranked

Toronto's LEN is the brother/sister duo of Mark and Sharon Costanzo, and "Steal My Sunshine" was their only hit in the US. It is the ultimate late 90s jam -- safe and nonsensical, perfect for mallrats and innocuous enough for malls (and soundtracks -- it's appeared on soundtracks for Go, Hot Chick and Cheaper By the Dozen.) About the only thing cool about it is that they sample the Andrea True Connection's 1977 disco hit "More More More," and Andrea True was a porn star. That's pretty cool. Otherwise, it's inane lyrics ("now the fuzzy stare from not being there on a confusing morning week/impaired my tribal lunar-speak") over a soft hip-hop-ish beat. Still -- Andrea True was a porn star. Kinda neat.

Fun Fact: Andrea True was a porn star -- she now works in Florida as a counselor.
