The Worst Song of All Time!

[Capt Jack]

Inspired by this article (http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/04/19/eye.ent.worstsong/index.html) I thought I'd run it by you kind swanky folk and get your opinions.

Now, the rules being...
Top 40-ish at some point...bascially, a song everyone loathes....erm, I mean knows.
If you want to, pick various ones from different eras or even genres....just make sure they truly suck.

(ok, mostly....just a 'fill up a friday' sorta thread) :D

readyyyyy..............GO!

[Gemini Cricket]

"I Just Called to Say I Love You" ~ Stevie Wonder
Overplayed!

"At this Moment" ~ Billy Vera and the Beaters
Bleh!

[Ghoulish Delight]

Dunno if it's "worst of all time", but "worst of the moment" is Beverly Hills (which I've just discovered is by Weezer...I never did like Weezer all that much). At the risk of being over dramatic, it makes me want to puncture my ear drums every time I hear it. In fact, I'm on the verge of giving you bad mojo, Cap'n, just because you've made me think of it.

Black Eyed Peas - My Humps

:rolleyes:

[Scrooge McSam]

(My Girl Wants To) Party All The Time - Eddie Murphy

[Disneyphile]

How about from an artist that everyone knows:

"John John" by Yoko Ono (http://www.fadetoblack.com/hallofshame/part2/yokojohnjohn.asf)

[Not Afraid]

I'm afraid to even start thinking about bad songs because I'll sing them all day.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

"Save a horse, ride a cowboy." I hope I never hear it again.

Oh, and all the rest of popish country music period :p

[Not Afraid]

I love the KZLA billboards in Long Beach. They are SOOO geared to the gay community here.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I love the KZLA billboards in Long Beach. They are SOOO geared to the gay community here.AMEN SISTER!

I forget where I was the other day, but there were two of them in a row.
Heaven! :evil:

[BarTopDancer]

"Save a horse, ride a cowboy." I hope I never hear it again.

I love that song! :p

Oh, and all the rest of popish country music period :p

I love the KZLA billboards in Long Beach. They are SOOO geared to the gay community here.

Marla and Matthew in the backseat of Jennies car driving to Universal:

{conversation}
{silence} {drool}
Marla and Matthew share a moment.

Sigh. The KZLA cowboy is HOT.

[Gemini Cricket]

Someone post pictures of these billboards already!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I'm only going to say this once...and all IMcompletelysubjectiveO...

Cowboy hats are not sexy.

Neither is beefcake.

Blech.

[Gemini Cricket]

Wow.

Nice.

Disagree with CP... totally.

:D

[Not Afraid]

I'm not a fan of cowboys, but these billboards are hot.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Wow.

Nice.

Disagree with CP... totally.

[AllyOops!]

(My Girl Wants To) Party All The Time - Eddie Murphy

I LOVE that song! It sucks so good!! That and Heartbeat by Don Johnson. Just the absolute bestest. :D

Here are my picks:

Sometimes When We Touch~ Dan Hill
"You ask me if I love you & I CHOKE on my reply. I'd rather hurt you honestly then mislead you with a lie". GAG!! Then, we have to hear about how he's a "hesitant prize fighter trapped within his youth." Not only that, he wants to hold me '"till I die, 'till we both break down and cry." Who swoons over THAT ?!?! Strap on a set and learn to love, you whiney p*ssy. Still, a-hole, you made it to my Ipod because I learned to loathe you in a sweet, sentimental way.

Afternoon Delight~ Starland Vocal Band
A ballad about a NOONER. However, this one has grown on me because even the most hideous songs can become sentimental if played during a ..special moment. So, now I like this song.

Rico Suave~ Gerardo
My only addiction has to do with the female species..I eat 'em raw like sushi. ACK. Keep your lusty sushi hole far from me, amigo.

I Wanna Sex You Up~ Color Me Badd
This is just bad..er, Badd.

Close My Eyes Forever~ Ozzy Osbourne & Lita Ford
Some people should never attempt ballads. Ever. EVER. You don't see Judas Priest covering Sometimes When We Touch 2006 and good golly, there's a reason for that.


I love this Thread. :)

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Cowboy hats are neither sexy nor not sexy.
Semi-naked beefcake cowboys are very The Sexy!

[katiesue]

Africa by Toto - It's just lame

It's Hard to be Humble - Mac Davis (my best friends mom would play her Mac Davis 8 track endlessly on road trips in their van :rolleyes: )

[CoasterMatt]

MacArthur Park - Someone left the cake out in the rain? WTF is that noise?!?
You're Having My Baby is another cringe inducer...

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Zapp got mine already. I didn't hear it until it was covered on Coverville, and I ws all "WTF?" I love that I've escaped from radio sans NPR/KCRW.

For the record, I'm on the non-beefy side of mancake. Mmm. That sounds good. "I'd like a cobb salad with a non-beefy side of mancake..."

[lindyhop]

MacArthur Park - Someone left the cake out in the rain? WTF is that noise?!?
No! I love that song, especially since it makes no sense.
You're Having My Baby is another cringe inducer...
Absolutely, one of the worst ever.

[€uroMeinke]

This is a time I feel blessed that I can't remember lyrics

[Not Afraid]

So, I read this thread then went out back to do some weeding. I realized about 15 minutes later I was singing "Having My Baby". :(

Now, I'm singing "I've got a cat that's got some skin uh huh"

[flippyshark]

So, I read this thread then went out back to do some weeding. I realized about 15 minutes later I was singing "Having My Baby". :(

Now, I'm singing "I've got a cat that's got some skin uh huh"

So am I! I'm nominating THAT song, because it is hurting me right now! (damn ukelele, damn bad folk style singing, damn annoying catchy tune...grr)

The song I usually shake my fists at most in public - YMCA - Not just because it's a lame memento of a horrible novelty act, but because it also causes whole stadiums full of people to do the EXACT SAME STUPID POSES! It honestly frightens me how so many people fall right into that dumb "spelling out the letters" routine, like they're under some kind of mind control. Gives me the shivers, I tell you. The Chicken dance has a similar effect. I need to stay away from weddings and sporting events, I guess.

Oh yeah, I hate that awful Gary Glitter song that they play at stadiums too. Now that he has been busted for trying to buy sex with children, I think that song should be quietly dropped from all sports broadcasts and stadium playlists. It's the right thing to do.

I'm sorry, I appear to be ranting. I should stop right here and go listen to something I like.

[Motorboat Cruiser]

Hmm.

"I Honestly Love You" - Olivia Newton John
"Almost Paradise" Ann Wilson
"Achy Breaky Heart" Billy Ray Cyrus

What do I win? :)

If NA starts humming any of these, I'm sure my days are numbered.

[CoasterMatt]

That Gary Glitter song would be "Rock And Roll Pt. 2" - and yeah, they oughtta drop it...

A song that turns me into a homicidal maniac, is "I Like To Move It" - Of course, I get to hear it about 6 times a day at work!

[Ghoulish Delight]

I need to stay away from weddings and sporting events, I guess. Music banned from our wedding: YMCA, Celebrate, the Limbo...it goes on.

[€uroMeinke]

I kinda like YMCA....

[flippyshark]

Matt, it might please you to know that the music I have currently playing (thus to clear my mind of the cat song) is Revised Music for Guitar and Low Budget Orchestra/ RDNZL

[innerSpaceman]

We may have to start a dueling hot guys thread
Well, I have no interest in bad songs .... but let me know when this thread starts.






(oh and can I have some kind of email alert when more hot cowboy pictures are posted in a thread I would never otherwise pay attention to?)

[Kevy Baby]

OK, not a song, but the Sit and Sleep commercials have to be he most annoying thing on the radio

[Ghoulish Delight]

I want to know what love is
and
Love Hurts

[CoasterMatt]

What's Up by 4 Non Blondes...

[wendybeth]

"I Will Survive" and "Funkytown". (Anything disco related).

[tracilicious]

I'm only going to say this once...and all IMcompletelysubjectiveO...

Neither is beefcake.

Blech.


Me too. Unless they're gay cowboys.

[tracilicious]

Barbie Girl

(I actually had to dance to that in high school. Shudder.)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I want to know what love is No! I can't believe I married you :(

[Not Afraid]

Me too. Unless they're gay cowboys.

I totally agree with you. Why is that?

[innerSpaceman]

The 'My Cat Has Knees' song.

[Stan4dSteph]

Oh yeah, I hate that awful Gary Glitter song that they play at stadiums too. Now that he has been busted for trying to buy sex with children, I think that song should be quietly dropped from all sports broadcasts and stadium playlists. It's the right thing to do.You can combat this song by shouting the following during the "heys"

dododododod "HIGH"
dodododododo "SCHOOL"
dododododod "BAND"
dododdodo "HIGH SCHOOL BAND!"

That's what we used to do when an opposing band would play this at Stanford football games. Works like a charm.


I really hate most things by Dionne Warwick, like "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?"

[innerSpaceman]

Oh, and I must point out that those cowboys are not gay (the billboard ones, at any rate ... I still have hope for the one zapppop posted and, if dreams come true, will be bringing home to play with us).

But the billboard cowpokes ... what makes anyone think they're gay? Especially since one shirtless cowboy is posed with a scantily clad female hanging over him like a lasso on a billboard in L.A.

Sorry, but unless some of the Long Beach billboards show said cowboys hand-in-hand, or locked-to-lip, or branding one another on the butt ... I have to assume that they are, in fact, straight cowboys.


So, ladies, are they less hot now?






oh, and um, linking this to hated songs ... since Not Afraid bestowed the lovely Cat Knees song upon my mind, I will counter with 'Spurs That Jingle Jangle Jingle.' Take that!

[Gemini Cricket]

I thought the idea was that the billboards were trying to appeal to gay folk and not that the models were gay.
???

[Not Afraid]

Ask any gay man in Long Beach who those billboards are marketing too. Beard or no beard, those billboards are targeting LB's significant gay popularion.

[Gemini Cricket]

"Mmm Bop" by Hanson

"Macarena" by whoever recorded that POS

"Axel F" by Crazy Frog

[Kevy Baby]

"Macarena" by whoever recorded that POS"Los del Rio" and "Los del Mar" were the two biggest hit versions, but sadly there were more.

"Axel F" by Crazy FrogIs this a remake of the Harold Faltermeyer version (the original version from the movie)?

[innerSpaceman]

Ask any gay man in Long Beach who those billboards are marketing too. Beard or no beard, those billboards are targeting LB's significant gay popularion.
I'm sure they like to think so. But since I saw the same billboards (with and without beards) all over L.A. county today, I think the gayness is in the imaginations of the beholders.


Strangely enough, they are actually hotter to me if they are straight. I don't know how you'd market to that.

[Janie]

Guess I'm lucky that I didn't have to endure them bad songs when I was growing up but after my cochlear implant surgery, I str4ongly beleive that some songs should banned outright for good like that "Achy Breaky heart" and I had a massive headache after listening to that song.:eek: Ugh!

However "Whiter Shade of Pale" by Harem Proctol totally rocked!

[wendybeth]

I just mojo'd ya for the PH reference, but when I hit caplock it sent it in, so you'll have a mojo comment that makes less sense than any of my usual's, if that's possible......:D

[Cadaverous Pallor]

The 'My Cat Has Knees' song.Wish I could mojo you.

Hmm. WICMY. I like it!

"Complicated" by Avril Lavigne.

Even worse: "Skater boy" by Avril Lavigne. The moral of the song is beyond fcked up. Skater boy wasn't good enough for the chick, but the chick ended up a housewife and the boy ended up a rock star, so that'll show her! Becoming a rock star proves you're a good person, and being a housewife is the WORST THING that could happen to you. :rolleyes:

[blueerica]

I've got a cat, he's got some knees UHHUH!

Aww crap you guys! I have it in my head, so I will make you suffer, too!

[Janie]

Eep! Thank you for correcting me on the rock group's name. It's Procol Harum

[CoasterMatt]

Angelica from the Rugrats version of "Bad Girls" - I'm this close to filing a grievance the next time they play that damned song within 100 yards of me at work!

[BarTopDancer]

So, ladies, are they less hot now?[/size]

Nope. They are still hot. Though as a disclaimer I should add that I love my southern boys. So I may be a bit bias. The KZLA cowboy was created to attract more women to their station. Country music is not known for their gay men demographic. There are straight women in Long Beach...

[AllyOops!]

We Built This City~ Starship
How on earth do you go from Jane to this piece of sh*t? ACK.

I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) ~Meatloaf
What won't you do?? My ex boyfriend played this song for me while I restrained my urge to engage in gastrointestinal pyrotechnics. In other words, I wanted to luge. My ex boyfriend thought the one thing he wouldn't do was give his heart or something sappy like that. I embarrassed myself when he asked what my answer was. Honestly? I thought it was backdoor lovin'.

Lady In Red~ Chris De Burgh
UGGHHH.. lady in red..is dancing with me..CHEEK TO CHEEK! After Meatloaf (see above) my ex-boyfriend played this song in the same damn set. If I had the ability to go limp, I'm sure I would have. :(

[Not Afraid]

Country music is not known for their gay men demographic.

HA! Known to them? We, they'd better pull off their blinders and see what's happening. I can't believe how many clients I have that listen only to country music. There is also a love of the wild west in general. Apparently, according to my clients, there is a HUGE country music movement within the gay community. I had no idea, but I do now.

[Gemini Cricket]

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I love Lady in Red and probably made my husband dance to it at some point or another :p

[wendybeth]

All right, Katiesue- you asked for it:

"Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hopping down the bunny trail
Hippity- hoppity, Easter's on it's way....."

Have a three year old sing that a few thousand times in a row and you'll never feel the same way about Easter or bunnies again.

[katiesue]

Have a three year old sing that a few thousand times in a row and you'll never feel the same way about Easter or bunnies again.

Better than when my three year old sang -

whoooaaaa whoooa whoooa

over and over for for months straight

[Gemini Cricket]

I'm totally lost on the "My cat has knees" song reference... maybe I'm just lucky :)
Matt, you don't want to know. I just heard it. It's terrrrrible.
:eek:

[CoasterMatt]

I just thought of another song that I despise...

Walk The Dinosaur by Was (Not Was)

[scaeagles]

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lives in a pineapple under the sea?
(Sponge - Bob - Square - Pants)
Absorbant and yellow and porous is he
(Sponge - Bob - Square - Pants)................

[Gemini Cricket]

I love the Spongebob theme!
Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish...
Best line ever!
:)

[scaeagles]

But it just sticks in your mind forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.................

[CoasterMatt]

Imagine hearing the Spongebob Theme ALL DAY!!!!

(I still enjoy it) :D

That cat has knees thing does nothing for me, though

Perhaps I'm immune?

[Kevy Baby]

I just thought of another song that I despise...

Walk The Dinosaur by Was (Not Was)I actually enjoyed the wackiness of that whole album. "Dad, I'm in JAIL"

[Gemini Cricket]

Imagine hearing the Spongebob Theme ALL DAY!!!!

(I still enjoy it) :D

That cat has knees thing does nothing for me, though

Perhaps I'm immune?
The Spongebob theme is so silly that it's fun. I just keep picturing thousands of children across the country dropping to the floor and flopping like fish in their houses. I imagine shocked parents going, 'WTF?' Love it.

I acquired iSm's favorite song 'My Cat Has Knees' and blew chow. Bleh! Be lucky you are immune, Matt.
:D

[AllyOops!]

One that I heard yesterday (and I know I'm breaking my Grandma's heart when I say this. I'm so sorry, Nana. :( )....

Lady ~ Kenny Rogers
Lady, I’m your knight in shining armor and I love you... *GAG*. This is just yacky, sappy croonin', and set to a funeral dirge I might add. It's just always made me squeamish.

More tunes that make me um, squeam much? :p :

Ballerina Girl~ Lionel Richie

Hello~ Lionel Richie
You just keep makin' the list, pal. The video to this is even WORSE. He's an art teacher in love with his young, beautiful blind student and the whole thing just has a creepy predator vibe to it. It's heartwrenching when she sculpts his head out of clay and it totally looks like a Chia Pet with cornflakes for hair. :()

Cha-Cha-Cha-Chia..

While we're raking poor Lionel over the coals, a special nod goes to Endless Love. *ACK* Maybe I'm just jaded. I think Lionel is incredibly talented. It's just most ballads for me induce hurling.

Oh! More shout-outs!

Every Rose has It's Thorn~ Poison
Instead of makin’ love, we both made our separate ways...ick ick ick ick.

Oh! Oh!
When The Children Cry~ White Lion
ANYTIME Glam bands had a message, I just wasn't interested in listening.

Could I be more bitter? :( I'm just having a bad day, which is why I thank God for Depeche Mode. Black Celebration is what I'm talkin' about! :)

The Llama Song (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama.php)

Nope, couldn't make it all the way through the llama song, either. (And I love ducks, so it's a pity.)

Of course, I thought at first that this might be the Monty Python llama song, which would have made it anathema to someone around here.
