Worst song ever (or EVAR, as some of my friends would insist)

What's the worst song ever? I realize this is kind of copying the worst rapper/singer/band thread, but I couldn't think of a single answer to any of those. So, what do you think? I would have to say that, although I tend to be able to avoid a lot of bad music, the worst song I've ever heard would have to be a tie between "Milkshake" or "Get Low". "Get Low" is a teensy bit more offensive in the lyrics, but "Milkshake" ties the score again with a slightly worse melody.

"My Band" by D12 or "My Immortal" by Evanesance.

"Best Friend" by Toy Box (I think that was his/her/its name)

THE CHINESE NATIONAL ANTHEM! lol, jk, it would have to be " some girls dance with women". Nice lyrics, indeed, but even then, some1 did manage to fail harder than timberalke when attempting good music.

How can you say that when songs like "The Macarena" exist?

Becuase I've never had to listen to someone who sucks at guitar and forgets the lyrics try to play "The Macarena" for about 3 hours.

"Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet is recent one.
It takes virtually every bad 70s rock cliche and combines them all into a giant ball of crap.

If by suck you mean you have no taste in music.

I don't know. My first thought was Older by They Might Be Giants, but it's bad in a funny, awesome kind of way. The song that's most annoyed me in the last year or so is Hey Ya by OutKast. If there's a worse song, I can't remember it.

Okay... You have to hear this for yourself to believe it.

Here is my first pick:

'Enter Sandman' performed by...Pat Boone! *shudders.

http://www.counterpoint-music.com/specialties/patboone.html

Go to that site and listen to the 'Enter Sandman' clip. It's not for the squeamish.

That reminds me: Anyone ever hear "Stairway to Heaven" performed by Rolf Harris? I prefer it to the original.

Umm, any so-called R&B/hiphop in the charts for the last two years or so?

I'm sick to #@$%^& death of hearing how badass some jerk in gold chains is, or how sexay some cheap bimbo is...

Oh come on, she does have a nice arse. That surely means something. I mean obviously it's a shame she doesn't sing from it as it'd probably make better noises but still. Fantastic piece of buttery there.

Ice Ice Baby- Vanilla Ice
Cant touch this- MC hammer
All the Small Things- Blink 182
Mmmbop - Hanson
Ty Cobb- Soundgarden (Love the band, but this is an atrocity)
Hero (?) - Nickelback

and that song that goes "abra abra cadabra i wanna reach out and grab ya" as well as the 1980's hit which has a woman saying "i want money" over a drum machine beat...dont know their real names.

all equally deserve the title.

Anyone here heard of a band called The Berzerker? No? Think yourself lucky...a song I heard by them was possibly one of the most dire things I've ever heard.
