We Built This City from your list is a close second, possibly tied for first.

I Wanna Talk About Me by Toby Keith
It is actually worse than his "boot in your ass", 9/11 song.

"We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize
We talk about your heart, 'bout your brain and your smarts
And your medical charts and when you start"
