What? I actually like that one.

I might give it to the Trashmen for: The Surfin Bird (great lyrics)

It's pretty lame. Thank goodness I'm not 16 anymore; otherwise I might actually think that girl has some talent.

Yoko Ono broke up the greatest singing group of all time? She broke up the Platters????

How about a favorite song thread ???

Humble Pies
"Thirty days in the Hole"

You are absolutely correct (...unfortunately...).

This song makes me want to stick pins in my ears. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_OGARBe6W0

Worst POS that is constantly played on the radio. At least Yoko and some of the others listed above are seldom if ever played on the radio.

Funniest thing ever said about Elvis Costello... “Music journalists like Elvis Costello because music journalists look like Elvis Costello" - David Lee Roth

LOLOL! That's so funny!
He REALLY looks and sounds like a middleaged douchebag with attitude. God bless him for translating that into cash somehow.

No kids here. But I do consider it (with the video) to be a great piece of work. Comedic genius, maybe.


As to the other songs listed in this thread....except maybe the Yoko and ABBA stuff, none would be any where near top of my 'worst songs' list. Many of them are pretty good music, in fact. Blanket damnations of Elvis C, Stones, Springsteen? Really?

They're a number of artists that I can't stand, but I recognize something in them and give a bit of credit; John Denver, Barry Manilow, ABBA, Carpenters come to mind.

Something like "We Built this City" is easily justifiable as a Worst Song - not only does it have zero redeeming music value, some of the artists involved have been key to some incredible music: Bernie Taupin, Grace Slick....they should have known better. This was a kick in the nuts coming from lineage that produced Surrealistic Pillow, Red Octopus, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.....

Or, Ebony and Ivory...another disaster from artists who should have known better....makes me shudder just thinking about it.....I almost wonder if Paul and Stevie were just f'n with us

PERFECT song if you want to irritate your wife. lol

Well, hello there Lluvia's brother!!! LOL Hope you're well, Ed. Sis has posted some nice pics on FB- hubba hubba (j/k)
Glad I checked this thread.

"Imagine"

It makes me want to puke. Lennon was SOOO overated.

o..


I agree it like many of thier songs is long , boring and painful to listen to..

I know I'm going to get backlash for this but I'm going to say just about every song BOB DYLAN has done. He has a few but come on he doesn't even sing he just talks and calls it singing.

Simple-Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke

This one doesn't even hurt my head. Just my ears

Spice Girls. That one they played incessantly in the mid 90s

Anything by Meatloaf....

Richard Harris

Nimoy.
Now we are getting into the realm true awfulness.
I submit Mrs. Miller's rendition of "Downtown".
It brings me back to the carefree days of my youth....

(runner-up: "My Pal Foot Foot" by The Shaggs. What it lacks in production value it makes up for in atonal dissonance. It is, quite frankly, in a class of it's own.)

BTW- both of these gems were committed to vinyl by artists with a vision. They weren't doing it for a goof or dreams of big $$$. They truly believed in themselves.

That's a WTF was that!

NO TAG LINE OUTRAGE!!

Cindy Lauper: Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

EVERYTHING about that song is awful.
