[Closed] The worst bit of a song EVER

Thats the best bit!

The random clangy piano bit at the end of Anthony & the Johnsons "Hope there's someone" would get my vote.

TATOO! TATOO!

All the way through.

Shoot them all.

But I like the OP-mentioned song. Then again I liked the Phil Collins drum thingie too.

I used to be into Phil Collins, but just take a look at me now..

zippykona's right about Will You.

What about Le Bon shouting WILD BOYS WILD BOYS! Or "singing" anything for that matter?

that bit in ricky martins livin la vida loca where he mentions 'french champagne'
where is the champagne region again?

Paul's bit on A Day in The Life. Not actually that bad on it's own, but relative to JL's half of the song it is toe curling.

About 3 minutes and 57 seconds of any song U2 have ever done.

I'm as serious as cancer, when I say that rythym is a dancer

That bloke a few years back who just kept saying "One Time" - can't remember the song but it was deeply annoying.

All of "I just called to say..."

That would be some crap by the fugees onone

That was a Fugees song , i think. Killing me softly?

edit . beaten by TheArtist

All of gypsy woman by crystal waters la da dee la da da

All of crash test dummies, whatever that god awful song was called

All of the JCB song by nislopi

Of course the wheels on the bus go round and round!! I mean what else are they supposed to do? Play football?? Well, duh!!! 🙄

there's 1,000,000 bloody bicycles in beijing AND THAT'S A BLADDY FACT!!! 😕 *
* may have added my own interpretation to the original lyrics 😐

The bagpipe err, 'break' in "You're the voice" by John Farnham.

Also, any synth solo where the synth is supposed to be a 'real' instrument. (eg 'Forever Young' by Alphaville or 'Nikita' by Elton John). Synths rule of course, but that is NOT what they are for.

Fish heads! Fish heads! Roly poly fishheads!
(Barnes and Barnes)

Any bit of any Beautiful South song, but specifically the Rotterdam chorus, the intro to Perfect 10 and that pencil case bit in the song about Jennifer Aniston

What about ABC's Martin Fry. Expecting us to take him seriously when he sings "Can't complain, musn't grumble. Help yourself to another piece of apple crumble."

And Mr. Paul Weller once spouted:

"I fall into a trnace at the supermarket. The noise flows me along as I catch falling cans - of baked beans on toast. Technology is the most."

Eh?

Thanks, TheArtistetc

"I don't want to see a ghost
that's the thing that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
and watch the evening news"

from 'Life' by some bird who's name escapes me

Blondie's "Maria" is largely an inoffensive pop song. HOWEVER there's a riff around the chorus somewhere that goes "pling plong pling plong" and sounds like it's being played by one of those musical greetings cards.

I'm not sure why but it winds me up whenever I hear it.

EDIT: Around 2m03s

EDIT2: Yes, I must be some kind of masochist to actively seek out something that irrationally winds me up...

akadoo doo doo push pinapples,shake the tree 😡 just reciting those lyrics has sent me into a feral rage GAH! 😡

'Picture that with a Kodak'....

I'd like to tear Pitbull a new one based on that like alone. ****

Some rapper, probably eminem

Love is evil, spell it backwards and you will see.....

Wtf?

The lyric "As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti" in Africa by Toto. It's not just the preposterous nature of the lyric but the way it's shoehorned in.

oooh there's another one from the 1980's I think that used to be played all the time; it was a duet between a bloke and a woman (possibly Janet Jackson) that just went on and on and on in a seemingly endless repeat and before the 10 millionth repeat of the chorus, he said "Let's tell them one more time, Janet" .....aaaaghhhhh!

Just thinking of it now makes me want to throw something, in an admittedly somewhat irrational manner. It was just smug and saccharine and fake!

And breathe......

Double post

How about the new Coldplay one? Para para paraffin ! ! Took all of 5 mins to figure out those lyrics.

Actually, just realised its not the Wild Boys chorus bit, its the bit before (or maybe after): "Wild boys something something looks like they'll try agaiiiin"
so effing horrendous!

"cookin MCs like a pound of bacon"

Vanilla Ice......utter bobbins.

“wherever I lay my hat, that's my home"

Appalling nose whining.

Focus Pocus. The yodelling. Oh God. 😥

Techno, Techno, Techno, Techno,

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned James Blunt

Thoroughly deserving of his rhyming slang association. Whiney ****t

His lyrics actually make me want to punch him!

The last god knows how long bit of Hey Jude takes some beating

IHN you are a wicked barsteward I had forgotten about that. On hearing that song for the first time I knew that I was witnessing the worst song writing EVER.
Can I also nominate Whitney for the bit where it stops and she goes for the key change in one moment in time. Jeez I bet that's Richard Madeleys favourite song.

I hate the OP. They have just made me remember the worst song ever.

zig a zig a zig ahh

The lyric "As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti" in Africa by Toto. It's not just the preposterous nature of the lyric but the way it's shoehorned in.

You beat me to it, the shitiest lyric ever

That bit in wind beneath my wings when bette milder starts wailing at the end, sounds like someone being hung, drawn and quartered.

Tommorow is Saturday,
Sunday comes afterwards.

Here's a bad rap one that a mate emailed to me a month or two back which I think he found on a worst rap lyrics ever webpage.

3."Young, black, and famous, with money hanging out the anus."
Mase ("Can't Nobody Hold Me Down")

Rewski I feel your pain.

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

Ton, you cannot be serious! zigazigah is Pure Pop Genius!!

'Just like that old man in that book by Nabakov'.
Pretentious toss, thanks Sting.

'He smelt of pubs and Wormwood Scrubs and too many right wing meetings'.
Sixth form pureile nonsense, as is pretty much everything by Weller.

The whole of 'Bring your daughter to the slaughter' by Maiden.

Sadly, most of the lyrics to 'Up the Junction', by Squeeze.
One of my favourite bands, but this sounds like a nine year old's poetry project. Yes, I know it's supposed to, but it just makes me cringe.
Great song, but I just can't bear the forced rhyming.
Sorry, everything else they've ever done is pretty much perfect.

As are The Beautiful South, you philistine 😀

oi! you can't dis Down in a tubesation!

The bit where Bob Dylan starts playing his harmonica 🙂

Beautiful South's "36D, so what?"

Cringing "new-man understanding women's issues" nauseating awfulness....

Bluuuurrrrrghhhh!

How about the new Coldplay one? Para para paraffin ! ! Took all of 5 mins to figure out those lyrics.

I thought it was a song about cycle luggage.

Carra, carra, carradice....

Bu-hut...ewh...those su-hummer.....

Na-HAAATZ!!

Oh, don't.

When I was little, I had tonsillitis that, well, with complications, nearly killed me. Amongst other things, I went deaf. When I came out of hospital post-op, my hearing was hyper-sensitive and that god damned song was on the radio constantly. That particular bit at the end was like a knife to the brain, that and Kate Bush's bloody Wuthering Heights. To this day I still can't listen to either of them.

I have an urge to scream at the 'woop, woo!' in that Steve Miller band song. You know the bit. i can't even be arsed to google the name of the song, I hate it that much.

Beautiful South's "36D, so what?"

Bluuuurrrrrghhhh!

Surely it's about the exact opposite?!?

I.E. Being tired of women who are all looks and no content...

Am I a Yankee, no I'm a Londoner!

The bit in Dizzee Rascal's "Bonkers" when he has a crack at singing (and fails dismally)

+1 for that bit of "Wild Boys" where Le Bon rather ambitously reaches for the high note "...Agaaaaaaain" and misses rather badly.

[i]As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti[/i]

Oh aye, that's a beauty. And a great simile too; a mountain rising like, well, another mountain. Good work boys.

Anything sung by Bryan Ferry. He sounds like Vic Reeves' club singer impression.

This far in and no mention of the intro of the Ace of Base's 'All That She Wants'?

The rest of the song is f***ing awful as well...

"The LOVEshack is little old place where
weee caaaan get to-ge-therrrrr"

That song makes my $h1t itch. The bane of every student night I ever went to...

Or any 'singing' by Mick Hucknall or Heather Small.

+1 for theotherjonv, that Steve miller one (the joker I think) has always made me cringe. And yes, that 'wit woo' bit is worst!

And yes, id rather have a piece of toast song is just embarrassing. Can't think of her name now but was it her with the eye patch?

EDIT: gabrielle?

Desree. The one with the eyepatch was Gabrielle, and she sounded like a donkey in pain...

Enya.

I did a week's work experience on the record counter at WH Smith in 1989. Flamin' Enya was on loop...

The scene in Dragon Tattoo where the assailant turns on his stereo to drown out the noises of Blomkvist being tortured to death had me wincing in sympathy. I'd howl like an animal in pain if I were tied up and subjected to Sail Away for hours on end.

Forgot the bridge in 'Everything I do', the Bryan Adams mega hit.
It sounds like it's from a different song entirely.

The slower bit near the end of Gallows' Orchestra of Wolves ruins that song a bit.

Which men are you thinking of that (honestly) prefer women with great personality to those with great looks?

Both would be perfect, obviously.

The song is cringingly sycophantic towards women.

I worked in a record shop for a year, but as it wasn't as independent as I would have like we were given a playlist, albums we had to play. But at certain points of the day it was staff choice, the less than intelligent assistant manager played this every sodding day:

It had that bloody "Amazing" track that people play at weddings, in fact any of those songs that bang on about just how amazing and unbelievable their women are make my bum go funny, like that Bruno Mars one, funnily enough I think that's called Amazing too.

and don't even get me started on people who use these as their first dance at weddings and mouth the words to each other *reaches for shotgun*

After much thought, I'd like to nominate The Eagles "Hotel Clifornia" for it's nauseating drum work and godawful guitar solo. Closely followed by Led Zep's "Stairway To Heaven" and anything by Abba. 😆
