Worst song ever?

[XemaSab]

Poll question: Worst song ever?

:shrug:

[LeftyMom]

1. I have never heard either one.

:D

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

110. You have no idea how lucky you are. (nt)

[LSK]

2. Have you forgotten

[WritingIsMyReligion]

76. Darryl fucking Worley, or whatever his name is.

Don't forget T. Keith's jingoistic "masterpiece"--"Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue." :eyes:

[Lyric]

115. I'd rate "Have You Forgotten" as worse the "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue"

That fucking "Have You Forgotten" song is the only song I know of that literally makes me grind my teeth in rage when I hear it. Take every moronic right-wing false assumption about 9/11, wrap them all up in a single song, and that's what it is. I just want to go through it and dissect it, lie for lie. It would take a while, because pretty much the whole damned song is one outrageous lie or distortion after another.

[Nicole]

3. My humps

:puke:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. What about Wildfire?

She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night

Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down his stall
In a blizzard he was lost

She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire

By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot owl howlin' by my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

We'll be riding Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire

On Wildfire we're going to ride her
We're gonna leave sod bustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire

[donheld]

6. I love that song

The others mentions I've never heard of.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. I guess I just heard it too many times.

[donheld]

10. I"m that way with Hotel California

and most eagle songs.

[MissMillie]

46. yep... and Bob Seger songs

and don't forget that Achy Breaky shit.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

82. Achy Breaky shit

:rofl:
Please don't eat the yellow snow, or step in the achy breaky shit...

[GreenTea]

100. Me too!

[MnFats]

26. why is he planting in advance of the snowy season?

and for that matter, a "killing" frost, say, about 27 degrees, will kill plants but not reasonably dressed people. or a horse.
ok, i;ll concede the horse died in a blizzard. but she was plenty stupid if she chased him into the blizzard.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

83. Some songwriters make lousy-ass farmers.

Maybe his girlfriend was a Lady Godiva wannabe?

[Jade Fox]

44. I like that song. I know, I'm a sad person.

:(

It's just that Wildfire is such a great name for a horse! And I love the Hoot-owl imagery.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

84. Nah...

I think I just heard it too much! :)

[Broken_Hero]

5. My Humps

the song gives me a headache in seconds...I cannot believe they made money off that ridiculous, lousy, talentless, worthless song...

[Pretty Go Pale]

8. Neither

"Seasons in the Sun" is the worst song of all time.

[Bonescrat]

91. Certainly one of them... nt.

[Common Sense Party]

9. "We Built This City on Rock and Roll"

Starship.

Very, very sad.

:puke:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

74. Did I not hear somewhere that Bernie Taupin wrote those lyrics?

:wow:

[CanuckAmok]

94. That sounds like his calibre of dreck.

Just hearing his name gives me a toothache.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

111. But... they built an ENTIRE CITY on rock and roll!!

How can you not at least respect that?! :D :hide: :yoiks:

[begin_within]

11. "Feelings" by Morris Albert

[Bjornsdotter]

12. Muskrat Love

Captain and Tenille...worst ever.

Cheers

[blitzen]

24. yes...but strangely, the original (Willis Alan Ramsey) is quite good

you can listen to a snippet here (it's called "Muskrat Candlelight")

http://www.amazon.com/Willis-Alan-Ramsey/dp/B00000JKG2/sr=1-1/qid=1167810454/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-9610062-2456618?ie=UTF8&s=music

[Bjornsdotter]

55. Holy crap

...never in a million years would I have thought there was another version.

I tried to listen but it wouldn't play for me....I'll try again later.

Thanks for the link.....Cheers :toast:

[Dervill Crow]

88. Eww, muskrats swirling and twirling and tangoing

just don't do anything positive for me, no matter who is singing about it!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

73. Oh NO not fucking Captain and Tenille!

Looove.....will keep us together....

:banghead:

[Bjornsdotter]

78. Strikes fear

...in your heart, it does mine.

I would probably confess to anything if I was subjected to anything C & T.

Cheers

[ghostsofgiants]

13. I like how they spell tasty wrong in Fergalicious.

[XemaSab]

95. It wouldn't be a contender against "My Humps"

were it not for the T to the A to the S T E Y girl. :D

[speedoo]

14. The Pina Colada Song.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

75. That is a guilty pleasure of mine.

If you like pina coladas.....

:P

[speedoo]

93. I've heard women like it much more than guys do. nt

[Broken_Hero]

15. I'd say, the worst

outside of the two choices you presented is "I'm Jenny from the Block" by Jennifer Lopez....

[blondeatlast]

39. Yeah, but "Jenny from the Block" is so bad and hypocritical it's laughable.

I thought it was a parody the first time I heard it.

The two poll songs are just painfully awful.

[WhollyHeretic]

16. I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston

:puke:

[LSK]

17. except its by Dolly Parton

[WhollyHeretic]

19. Except Whitney Houston did a horrible version of it

Remember the movie The Bodyguard?

[LSK]

20. I try not to

[donheld]

97. I Disagree = I think Whitney kicked that songs ass

And Dolly seemed to agree. It was way over played but that doesn't mean it's a bad song.

[Lethe]

18. Um Bop by Hanson?

cmon?

[Broken_Hero]

21. When I worked for

at the cafeteria at our local hospital, most of the staff were filipino's, and they would get american songs, dubbed over in the filipino language...and I had to listen to countless american songs, done in filipino...one of those songs, being Um Bop, by Hanson....it was enough, to make me gnash my teeth....another gem was "My heart will go on" by Celine, and a lot of covers of that dance group....the Venga boyz...I like to party crap...bleh.

[Lethe]

22. you need a turkey leg

:)

[FVZA_Colonel]

23. Butterfly - Crazy Town.

Honest to God, that song could have the worst fucking lyrics ever written.

[Bassic]

107. I agree, it is one big piece of bull crap. nt

[QMPMom]

25. Still going with Jessie Colter's "I'm Not Lisa".

[blitzen]

27. maybe so...but her new CD is really good

http://www.amazon.com/Out-Ashes-Jessi-Colter/dp/B000E6EJ3E/sr=1-1/qid=1167812218/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-9610062-2456618?ie=UTF8&s=music

[SKKY]

28. "Heartbeat" by Don "Miami Vice" Johnson

I've said it before in these forums, and I'll say it again. That is, by a country mile, the worst piece of crap
every created by a carbon-based life form.

[sammythecat]

29. I forgot all about that one.

I saw the video. It was downright embarrassing to watch. What an ass.

[SKKY]

58. Unfortunately, it's burned into the fabric of my mind for ever...

[sammythecat]

79. Whew! That really sucks.

A lobotomy just might be worth considering.

Maybe the French Foreign Legion. Leave everything behind. Maybe get killed.

Then, finally, you may have peace.

Good luck with your life. My thoughts are with you.

[Rosemary2205]

30. Unchained Melody sung by Alvin, Theodore and Simon (the chipmunks)

The Righteous Brothers version was a little hokey but the chipmunks version was a crime.

[philosophie_en_rose]

31. Let the Eagles Soar

It's Hatchelicious.

:bounce:

[applegrove]

86. Who could forget that?

[Porcupine]

32. Still "Macarthur Park"

"Someone left the cake out in the rain....."

I mean WTF?

[carly denise pt deux]

33. It sounds like she was running out of rhyming words

for the lyics of the songs, pulling stuff outta the sky....too confusing....who cares about a cake in the rain? Its her fault for not writing down the recipe in the first place.
Carly

[underpants]

38. FYI Jimmy Webb wrote it

Gavleston
Wichita Lineman

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Webb

[kwassa]

61. Brilliant poetry, those lyrics, unbeatable ....

for a park that had a dangerous narcotics trade and gang activity when I lived in LA.

but the shear artesttrey!


Lyrics:

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
On the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!



There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one

I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passion flow like rivers through the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wondering why



MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no
No, no
Oh no!!

[anti-everything]

34. Anything by The Grateful Dead

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Wearing Asbestos Today?

I don't care for the Dead, but you'll probably get hammered for saying that.
The Professor

[anti-everything]

36. Maybe, but

That doesn't change the fact that I can't stand the Dead.

[Glorfindel]

37. "Cut the Cake" by the Average White Band

I don't think it's even POSSIBLE to create a song worse than this:

Cut the cake
Give me a little piece
Let me lick up the cream

Cut the cake
Well, just a little piece
baby you know what I mean

Cut the cake
Give me a little piece
A little lovin' on the side

Cut the cake
I need a little piece
Just to keep me satisfied

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that cake
It tastes so good don't pass it all around
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that cake
You got to cut it down

Cut the cake
Just a little piece
Of your sweet love

Cut the cake
Don't you know that I
Can't get enough

Cut the cake
Want you to know that I
Ain't a greedy man

Cut the cake
Don't you know that I'll
Do the best I can

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that cake
Well, it tastes so good don't pass it all around
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that cake
You got to cut it-down

Cut the cake
Give me a little piece
Let me lick up the cream

Cut the cake
Well, just a little piece
Baby you know what I mean

Cut the cake
Give me a little piece
A little lovin' on the side

Cut the cake
I need a little piece
Just to keep me satisfied

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that cake
Well it tastes so good don't pass it all around
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that cake
Never knew you cooked the way you do
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that cake
Tastes so good don't pass the recipe around
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme that cake
You got to
Cut it down
Cut it down
Cut it down
Cut the cake, please

[kwassa]

59. A wonderful song, has a great beat, and you can dance to it!

nice piece of white-boy funk.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

69. Eeeeargh!

What is with AWB and "pieces" lyrics, anyhow? Pick up the pieces, cut me a piece...

:D

[Glorfindel]

81. I'm awfully afraid it's nothing but rampant heterosexuality...

unchecked and unbridled. Oh, the horror, the horror...:evilgrin:

[Pool Hall Ace]

40. "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro

I hate songs about dying folks.

[Mad_Dem_X]

41. "Christmas Shoes," hands down

Sorry, nothing else even comes close.

[grace0418]

85. *****DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE A WINNER FOLKS*****

No need to look further. That "song" is the most vile piece of dreck ever to start my ears bleeding. Good god it's so awful. It makes me want to take a tire iron to my radio when I hear it.

"I wont her to look bew-tiful if Mamaaaa meeeeets JEE-zus tooo-naht!"

GACK! GACK! A MILLION TIMES GACK!

[Critters2]

90. Except "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" Ghastly. Just painfully awful.

The local fm station kept playing this, always in the midst of really nice Christmas things, like "Winter Wonderland", traditional carols, etc. Just when you're enjoying the seasonal music, this monstrosity rears its ugly head. I finally sent an e-mail complaining. Not that it did any good.

But "Christmas Shoes" is bad, too.


edited for fear of the spelling police

[1gobluedem]

42. Horse with No Name

That song makes me physically ill. Erk, I feel sick just writing down the title.

[XemaSab]

96. Why do you hate America?

:shrug:

[blockhead]

109. you funny!!

:spray:

[Strawman]

43. "Smooth Up:" the Bullet Boys' 2000 rerecording of their 1988 hit "Smooth Up in Ya"

Anytime a washed up band rerecords its only hit, that is the worst. If there were six stages of the death of a metal band, that is stage five, right before acceptance.

[kmla]

45. It has to be "Abracadabra" by The Steve Miller Band.

The album also has the distinction of not only being the biggest waste of petrochemicals, but also that the video is one of the crappiest ones ever filmed. Looks like they had a budget of $37 dollars, along with the directing services of Ed Wood's neighbor. (That's a wrap!).

Unparalleled in it's shittiness.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

70. Unfortunately, that song is also damned addictive.

Alongside "Fly Like an Eagle." :P

"Take the Money and Run," however, is a travesty. :grr:

[montanto]

47. hot child in the city. worst ever. nt

[jobycom]

48. Had to be by Steely Dan. At least Fergie is fun. Actually, I love her stuff.

It's not Mozart, but it's cute, at least.

Steely Dan... That's just some sick cat wailing in the night.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

68. Yup.

Yes, indeed, it is.

That's why we love Donald Fagen so. :woohoo:

This is your Haiiiiitiiaaan diivvooorce!

:P

[donheld]

98. I love Steely Dan

:spank:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

101. He/She is uninitiated into the world of Donald Fagen, is all.

Our crazy cat-in-the-night screamer.

:crazy:

[jobycom]

113. Then you are deaf or have never actually listened to them

Is my opinion, anyway. :)

[Ian David]

49. Worst ever: Wouldn't you like to fly in my beautiful balloon. Runner-up...

Bush was Right

[Ian David]

50. I'm sorry, but I KNOW I have ALL of you beat...

Pac Man Fever, by Buckner and Garcia

http://www.bucknergarcia.com/

[Strawman]

51. I love that song

I got a pocket fulla quarters and I'm headed for the arcade..

[Strawman]

52. Here's another cringe inducing corny one: "The Rappin' Duke"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=QgIw7Uuupw8

[CanuckAmok]

53. MacArthur Park

I mean, what rhe hell?! Cake? What?!

[CanuckAmok]

54. Total Eclipse of the Heart, except this version:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIaz6zBz1go

Actually, anything that Jim Steinman touches counts as "worst". Perhaps Hurra Torpedo should take a "crack" at the rest of his catalogue.

[Rhythm]

89. hey now... Steinman is GOD!

i love his over-developed sense of melodrama.

[Lyric]

116. *le gasp* Steinman is amazing!

I would totally have his babies. :loveya:

[LisaM]

56. Hobson's choice....and you left off "Eye of the Tiger"

Fingernails on a blackboard to me.

Also, anything by Bread.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

71. Babe, I'ma want you...

:wtf:

:D

[PVnRT]

57. Anything by Elvis Costello or Pink Floyd

Yeah. Flame on, bitches.

[kwassa]

60. Love me some Elvis. Floyd does suck, though.

[Mad_Dem_X]

62. You're kidding! Don't be dissin' the Floyd

They have some great songs.

[ghostsofgiants]

63. If it wasn't for your Fight Club inspired name, I'd smack you for disparraging Elvis.

[southpaw]

65. Please...

Floyd rules.

[PVnRT]

105. No, they really don't

n/t

[WritingIsMyReligion]

72. The luuuuuuuuuunatic is on the graaaaassssss.....

:P

[Phillycat]

77. Elvis Costello? This post doesn't even deserve a response.

:eyes:

[PVnRT]

106. ...and yet you responded anyway

Hmmmm

[donheld]

99. Some of you people have NO taste in music

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

[PVnRT]

104. Clearly

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

[southpaw]

108. Sounds like Floyd may have been before your time

...and you were probably watching Sesame Street when Elvis wrote "Radio, Radio"

Please, Jack... tell us what appeals to your obviously superb taste in music.

[Roon]

64. APACHE!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTKL8MNH95Q&mode=related&search

[Strawman]

66. That's craptastic!

I love it.

[Roon]

67. I agree

I couldn't stop watching it either.

[progressoid]

80. The Night Chicago Died

or maybe Billy Don't Be a Hero.

[Shell Beau]

87. That I'm a Barbie Girl song by Aqua, I think it is!

AWFUL!!! :puke:

[billyskank]

102. I heard one guy from Aqua also makes really mental hardcore techno

Wierd. :crazy:

[wildhorses]

92. macarena

is pretty bad--

[Ghost in the Machine]

103. The Police: Doo Doo Doo, Dah Dah Dah.. that's all I want to say to you

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

112. "Who let the dogs out"

Need I say more? :puke:

[Ariana Celeste]

114. I vote Eiffel 65's "Blue (Da Ba Dee)"

Gods that song drove me fucking crazy.
