The Worst Song of All Time!
 

Inspired by this article 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!

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

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

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.

now now, dont be a hater. :D think of it as.....theraputic purging

Black Eyed Peas - My Humps

:rolleyes:

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

How about from an artist that everyone knows:

"John John" by Yoko Ono

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

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

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.

AMEN SISTER!

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

I love that song! :p

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.

Someone post pictures of these billboards already!
:D

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

Cowboy hats are not sexy.

Neither is beefcake.

Blech.

Wow.

Nice.

Disagree with CP... totally.

:D

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

We may have to start a dueling hot guys thread

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

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: )

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

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..."

No! I love that song, especially since it makes no sense.
Absolutely, one of the worst ever.

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

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.

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.

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!

Music banned from our wedding: YMCA, Celebrate, the Limbo...it goes on.

I kinda like YMCA....

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

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?)

Like this ?:

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

I want to know what love is
and
Love Hurts

What's Up by 4 Non Blondes...

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

Me too. Unless they're gay cowboys.

Barbie Girl

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

No! I can't believe I married you :(

I totally agree with you. Why is that?

The 'My Cat Has Knees' song.

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?"

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!

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

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.

"Mmm Bop" by Hanson

"Macarena" by whoever recorded that POS

"Axel F" by Crazy Frog

"Los del Rio" and "Los del Mar" were the two biggest hit versions, but sadly there were more.

Is this a remake of the Harold Faltermeyer version (the original version from the movie)?

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.

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!

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

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:

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!

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

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!

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...

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.

I haaaaaaaaaaate this song!

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

"This is the song that never ends.
It just goes on and on my friends..."

You are pure evil.

:evil:

I'm totally lost on the "My cat has knees" song reference... maybe I'm just lucky :)

Another thread. I have mercy on you so I won't link you.

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.

Better than when my three year old sang -

What's new Pussycat
whoooaaaa whoooa whoooa

over and over for for months straight

Matt, you don't want to know. I just heard it. It's terrrrrible.
:eek:

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

Walk The Dinosaur by Was (Not Was)

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

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

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.................

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?

I actually enjoyed the wackiness of that whole album. "Dad, I'm in JAIL"

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

This made my whole office laugh :snap:

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.

The trumpet player looks a little bit like Phil Collins

Oh my Lord! Monkeys, open heart surgery, bad eighties hair, worst trip ever!

How many drugs do I have to take to purge that video from my mind?!?

I used to do drugs in the eighties.

Now I'll do them at any temperature.

Someone needs to sample that monkey for a .gif

Was that Whitney Houston? Oh the irony!

David Hasselhof!

Headbands!
