The WORST Songs of All Time

Anything Pop or Rap

 

That's Sk8ter Boi. And yes, it does suck.

 

Ohhh, to many to mention, but here are some potted lowlights

Saturday Night - Whigfield. Take the Macarana as your starting point, invent an even more stupid dance, make an even more nausating record and release.

Always on my Mind - Pet Shop Boys. Purely and simply for the crime of keeping the best Christmas song ever (Fairytale of New York by The Pogues & Kirsty McColl) off of the number one spot.

Dilemma - Nelly & Kelly. The record has no tune, rubbish lyrics, no hooks, no redeeming features at all and the two of you are talentless charlatans. You have had you 15 minutes, now return to whichever stone you crawled out from and never, ever disturb us again.

Flyby - Blue. A record from a band that reached new depths of sonic anoyance with their previous effort (the one with the "effect" of air being slowly released from a balloon) took that new depth, started digging and unleashed this abomination on us

When will I be Famous? - Bros. Hopefully never with a record this so completely and utterly toilet. Unfortunatly the public has no taste and it was huge.

Tainted Love - Marilyn Manson. Please Mr Blair can we bomb America into oblivion for allowing this weapon of mass dirgity to reach us. If Marc Almond was dead, his corpse would be spinning in his grave so much at this travisty that we would harness it and have a limitless supply of energy.

There's noone quite like Grandma - St Winifred's School Choir. I hope that the "angelic little voices" that gave us this are all crack whores, selling their bodies for 50p to the winos outside Kings Cross Station. And if they are, there is a peice of their brain telling them they deserve it, and rightly so.

Killing me Softly - The Fugees. There used to be a particularly evil way to kill a person. They would be hung, drawn and quartered. Can we bring this back just for the Fugees so that such complete and utter tripe such as this will never pollute our lives again?. There were three Fugess. The one that pressed the On button on the drum machine, the catawailing token woman and the "I'm so cool" one who's sole contribution to music is to say "One Time, Two time". And these people made more money, sold more records and became bigger stars than such bands as Crowded House and The Specials.

Especially For You - Jason Donovan & Kylie Minogue. The most vomit inducing record ever to arise from the diabolical production line of the spawns of satan: Stock, Aitkin & Waterman.

But, (as with the snooker loopy example on the previous page this won't mean much to anybody outside the UK) there are two words that are, surely, proof that if God is not dead, then He has abandoned us to our fate. And lets be honest if our culture and society allow such thing to happen than we deserve to be disowned by Him.

Mr. Blobby.

 

"White Horse" by Laid Back. It's a song that simply does not end. Ever.



Rick McCallum loves you!

 

I can't believe I forgot one:

Stairway to Heaven

If I never hear that song again it'll be too soon.

 

Sean Connery's "In My Life" is the worst Beatles cover ever.

Other worst songs:
Flying Lizards "Money (that's what I want)"
Bea Arther "One More Round" from the Holiday Special
Marcia Griffiths "Electric Slide"
and anything by Garth Brooks or Ratt

 

Stairway to Heaven

No Stairway? Denied!

My God, next you'll be saying you hate Freebird.

 

Especially For You - Jason Donovan & Kylie Minogue

My God, you just ressurected my old childhood nightmares. There used to be a time when my older sister played this all day long. Garggghh!

Worst...song...ever!!! Well...some of the stuff in MTV these days is worse, but I don't dare to name them.

 

"500 Miles" by The Proclaimers

"Be My Lover" by Labouche (sp)

"I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany (worst.beatles.cover.ever)

"Unskinny Bop" by Poison

I have purged all my hate for today.

 

you know, I hate Christmas songs. They might be ok, even though my dad died 3 days before Christmas and 2 years latter my Grandma died the day after her birthday, 6 days before Christmas, if those songs weren't so repetative. On and on and on. Worst Christmas Song is "Grandma got run over by a reindeer". On and on and on. Kind of Christmas specials though (except for that "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" Christmas special... I mean, who is making money off of this Satan?) since they show just once a year.

 

Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger's duet, "State of Shock". A little ditty swept under the rug from the 1984 Victory tour. Time has not been kind to the Jacksons, has it?

Rockin' Robin by the Jackson 5 or whatever they were before Michael went weird on us. My sister had this on 45 as a kid and played it ad nauseum. It is forver burned into my brain. Ugggh.

New Kids on the Block -- anything

Anything by the Cure -- musical whining by a manic depressive group. Hand me some Prozac, an all black outfit, white makeup, a light socket to stick my finger in to shoot my hair sky high, and some cloves cigarettes so I can replicate the look.

 

Some Pop is good. Some Rap is good.

 

When I saw this thread the first thing that came to my mind was Hanson.. the 3 blondy boys from Tulsa.. I use to LOVE them... but i finally realized my wrong ways a few years ago and i am now on a totally different path.. country

 

I'm with the Grand Dutchess. I tried to edit my post last night but it wasn't working. Worst song bar none is Elmo&Patsy "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer".

 

How about "Summer Girls" by LFO:

New Kids On The block had a bunch of hits
Chinese food makes me sick.
And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer, for the summer
I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,
I'd take her if I had one wish,
But she's been gone since that summer...
Since that summer

Possibly the most vapid lyrics in history.

 

Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy

Worst.Song.Ever

 

yeah american pie and come as you are, oh yeah those are the worst song of all time

oh and dont let me forget that piece of crap known as stairway to heaven!

and dont get me started on the talentless and horrible beatles!

 

Definetly anything by Justin Timberlake and the rest of his *NSYNC posse, Hillary Duff, Avril Lavinge, and Kelly Clarkson.

 

How DARE you denounce Poison .

Hanson. Is. Crap. Period.


Mistryl's Paramour

 

That "Blue" song or whatever the **** it was in 2000.

 

ahh you must be talking about LeAnne Rimes

 

No, it was some European thing. All I know is that it was horrible.

 

Since the song I hate the most has already been mentioned ("The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"), I'll go a slightly different direction. Here's a couple that drive me up the wall from otherwise astonishingly good artists:

"It's Only Love" and "You Like Me Too Much" by the Beatles. "It's Only Love" has one of the best early Beatles melodies ruined by some of John Lennon's worst lyrics.

to wit:
"I get high when I see you go by
My oh my
When you sigh, my, my inside just flies
Butterflies"

and

"Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright,
Very bright." [insert stutter on second "bright" as Lennon gives into the inanity]

"You Like Me Too Much", even though it's by George Harrison, has a mediocre melody and lyrics that drive me up a wall.

"You've tried before to leave me
But you haven't got the nerve
To walk out and leave me lonely
Which is all that I deserve
You'll never leave me and you know it's true
Coz you like me too much and I like you"

"I really do, and it's nice when you believe me
If you'd leave me
I would follow you and bring you back where you belong
Coz I couldn't really stand it
I'd admit that I was wrong..."

Honestly, George! Were you drawing random romantic cliches from a big Beatle hat? My sister and I sing it as "I like me too much, and you like me" which makes about as much sense.

Bob Dylan: "Rainy Day Women Nos. 12 and 35"

The sound of those drunken horns is like fingernails going across a chalkboard to me. My distaste probably derives from the fact that my sister played it nonstop. Nowadays it just sounds like the drunk guy who thinks he's the life of the party. I'm aware of the significance of the song to Bob's life, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

("Jokerman" drives me nuts, too, with that thin 80s production and inaudible mumblings. "Silvio" is bouncy fun, but I can't shake the feeling that it's a mismash of every Bob cliche in the book)

 

Somebody actually listed Stairway to Heaven? [face_shocked]

Anything by Hanson.
Almost anything on MTV.
The Macarena.

 

Achy Breaky Heart or that Garth Brooks Dr. Pepper Song both suck horribly.
