8. “The Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars

This song, performed and written by Bruno Mars, was released on Feb. 15, 2011 as a single. It is a part of Mars’ debut album, “Doo-Wops and Hooligans.” “The Lazy Song” followed up “Just the Way You Are” and “Grenade” as singles for the album. Mars’ third single peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100.

This song is pretty much just as the title says: a song about being lazy. 

“The Lazy Song” is another one of my childhood anthems. For a while, I knew it word for word. I’m not sure if that is impressive or sad. Probably sad. Anyway, it’s another catchy song that came out of this decade.
