The worst song ever

Not the later end-of-career stuff

This is so bad is good

Aga-f***ing-doo

It’s coming to a crisp advert featuring Gary Lineker soon. Be afraid, be very afraid

In the summertime by Mungo Jerry always grates my ears for some reason

“If her daddy’s rich, take her out for a meal,
if her daddy’s poor, just do what you feel”

Greatest lyric ever.

Lady Marmalade (original + covers)
Rock DJ (original + covers)
A Kiss from a Rose (or whatever it was called)

All crap songs with a crap lyrics and crap melodies that don’t go anywhere – they just chug along for a bit then stop. Utterly pointless.

No no no. Mungo Jerry were brilliant.

You’re all sheltered.

Anything by the flaming lips, but if pushed for one – ” do you realise”

They say there’s a fine line between genius and madness…….Chocolate Rain is firmly on the side of madness 😀

What’s playing right now on R6 gets my vote

I am the music man – aargh!

Banality distilled down to its purest essence.

The Final Countdown by Europe gets my nomination – musically and lyrically awful.

+another for American Pie.

Either

or, talking of Miley Cyrus, how about her dad?

Some absolute stinkers here – good work everyone!

Banality distilled down to its purest essence

It’s enough to turn you into a smack-addled hasbean.

Xanadu………

From this week’s Fresh Goods[/url] –

It gets particularly bad from 6 hours in, I believe:

I win! 😈

I’d nominate anything by Madonna, Cher or Tina Turner.

Really??? They’ve all done some pretty good songs. Not the later end-of-career stuff, true, but the earlier work?[/quote]

I’ve never heard anything by any of them that didn’t make me want to pull my own ears off…

Come on Eileen.

Awful song drunkenly danced to at awful weddings (I like drunkeness and weddings, just not to that soundtrack).

God of Thunder by Kiss was always ridiculed by the heavy rock fraternity when I was growing up…

ANYTHING by the Panic Street Cleaner (Manic Street Preachers)
Anything by Morrisey
Anything by PitBull (See ‘Picture that with a a Kodak’ 👿 )
Scooter (If only for the ‘Painted Cow!’ lyric)

Specific songs – Angels

Phil Collins

I’d nominate anything by Madonna, Cher or Tina Turner.

Simply the Best by Tina Turner? Simply the worst song ever recorded. Ear-grindingly awful!

the Panic Street Cleaner (Manic Street Preachers)

If you have to explain the joke…

Hey Jude, even by Paul McCartney standards that is dire.

If you have to explain the joke…

Ahh, you must be the other fan….(i’m insinuating that there are only two fans)

” It’s hard to love a maaan whose legz are bent an paralysed
and the waaaants and neeeeds of a woman your age Ruby I realise
Oh RU-UBY don’t take yerrr lurve to to-own ”

Another vote for Candy by Robbie Williams…sounds like an over produced, little girl’s skipping song

little girl’s skipping song

I was there to witness
Candice’s inner business
She wants the boys to notice
Her rainbows, and her ponies
She was educated but could not count to ten
Now she got lots of different horses
By lots of different men
And I say

Liberate your sons and daughters
The bush is high but in the hole is water
You can get some, when they give it
Nothing sacred, but it’s a living

Skipping songs have got a bit raunchy since I was wee.

Simply the Best by Tina Turner

Totally redeemed by it’s association with Chris Eubank jumping into the ring. Pick another.

‘Simply the best’ is right up there. There are too many though, aren’t there? Paul McCartney and Phil Collins should be in prison for crimes against music, IMO. Likewise Chris De Burgh. Songs like ‘Agadoo’ and ‘Shaddup yer Face’ can’t count because they were never meant to be taken seriously. What about great songs murdered by other people? I’d nominate Mr Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ by that lass from one of the talent shows.

Bad covers I nominate Kate Nash doing ‘I’m not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You’. Cringeworthy.

Phil Collins should be in prison for crimes against music

Funnily enough I saw him jamming at a opiano one night in a jazz bar in Zermatt in the mid 90’s he was bloody awesome – I have always hated his commercial music though

I really think Roter Stern actually wins this! That is truly beyond awful. In fact it may be the worst bit of ‘music’ I’ve ever heard.

My vote:

I’m not normally a violent man, but I’d happily batter this bloke in the face with a baseball bat with a brick stuck on the end:

****.

One day historians will look back and realize we hit the epoch of civilization around 1983.

Much better in reverse without lyrics

This one has to be up there. It was played nearly constantly by my old boss, which I think is in violation of some anti-cruelty laws.

Just wondering the reasons behind posting video links… like – this is a really terrible song, have a listen!?!
