In your opinion, what is the worst song of all time?

We Built this City by Jefferson Starship.

Airplane was 10 times better than Starship

HOnorable mention to Steve Goodman's "Go Cubs Go"

Quoted for truth.

And post whoring.


But mostly truth.

In your opinion, what is the worst song of all time?

Amazing Grace - nails on a chalkboard to me.

Send in the Clowns.

Janis Joplin - Mercedes Beinz. My Bio 215 teacher thought it was the greatest song in the world. Dude's like, "This is one of reasons why I move to America, so to buy fancy cars."

that one Paris Hilton made recently

Anything that ho Aguilera makes.

Mercedes Benz has a unique grating quality that I have never heard equalled by any artist, living or dead. It makes my brother's shitty garage band sound like the zenith of all musical entertainment.

I'm going to avoid that, just based on the name. It sounds patriotic.

Oh, for that matter, I'm going to go with "Let The Eagle Soar" by John Ashcroft, former attorney general for Bush's first term. That's right, the attorney general wrote and sang a song. At a press conference. Stupidest shit I've ever heard.

It depends on if you consider that this song is known to make people emigrate.

Yeah, it's making the good folks emigrate. We're having a brain drain. Everyone who is sensible is trying to get away from the haunting echoes of that terrible excuse for a song.

I assume you actually meant "emigrate" (which means leaving) rather than "immigrate" (which means coming into the country). If you meant "immigrate", then it's attracting the wrong sort of people.

I wrote emigrate.

Well, if it is indeed making people emigrate, then I don't think we can deny its place as worst song ever.

I WIN!

Really? I guess there is no accounting for taste.

What about when it's played on the bagpipe as in firefighter funerals?

What about the Dropkick Murphy's version?

Would you like it in a box?

Would you like it with a fox?

Anything by the Shaggs.

Or Manowar.

I WIN!
Well, we both win, because I think I proposed that song as worst ever. We're both right!:fluffle:

Anything by Nickelback...

...I'm waiting for a plane crash, a tour-bus flipping on the highway, a structural collapse at a stadium...

...anything to make those fools stop writing such shit music. :mad:

In your opinion, what is the worst song of all time?

"Yummy, Yummy, Yummy (I've Got Love in My Tummy)" by the Ohio Express pwns anything suggested yet as the worst song ever. Warning: listening to the song in it's entirety will melt you brain.

That's ok. I heard a few seconds of it sung by Homer Simpson, and I almost died.

you know i'm sure i did this thread the other day


hmmm... anything by crazy frog

you know i'm sure i did this thread the other day

I haven't been on this website for a while, so I never saw it. Sorry.

That new rap-crunk song by Li'l John ("Do it Yourself"?) is completely idiotic. Many of the Black Eyed Peas songs since and including "Where is the Love?" are also cringingly terrible.

that one Paris Hilton made recently


I couldn't agree more. Ugh it totally has been computerised. Why doesn't she stick to what she is good at? Making 'home movies'!?:sniper: :gundge:

If you think that was good, I worry for you.

Never saw it. It has to be better than that bloody song.

"Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini" the Timmy Mallet version is the worst piece of music ever recorded by miles.

What about when it's played on the bagpipe as in firefighter funerals?

What about the Dropkick Murphy's version?

Would you like it in a box?

I would not like it with a goat.

I would not like in on a boat.

I do not like that song you see

About a slave ship captain who found redemption in religion. Just an irritating tune. (OK, so the rest didn't rhyme. Mostly because I don't care.)

Yes, that is actually one of my favorite true stories in history (along with the Mutiny on the Bounty). I still can't see how anyone could not like that song. You should try to listen to the Dropkick Murphy's version. The guitar part complements the bagpipe very harmoniously.

No Doubt - Hella Good

Hated the song when it was new, still hate it now.

(Dis)Honourable mentions go out to Paris Hilton, William Hung, and Sisqo.

I remeber starting a whole conest about this. Complete with a group stage.

PLEASE LET ME DIE!

I however must agree with that Paris Hilton song. Seriously. IT'S PITCHMATCHED MORE THAN ALL OF BRITTANY SPEARS' SONGS COMBINED!!! IT DOESN'T EVEN SOUND LIKE A HUMAN ANYMORE!!!

I rest my case. I hate pitchmatching.

anyone remember the Barbie Girl song by aqua? when it was released suicide rates tripled

"My Boy Lollipop"

"Tell Laura I love her."

"The original version of that song that Pearl Jam re-did, that I cant remember right now."

If you dont know what songs these are..you dont know what your talking about.

Another song that violates even the simplest understanding of asthetic principles is that bloody James Blunt song "You're Beautiful". It is so bad that Canada may go to war against him.

I remeber starting a whole conest about this. Complete with a group stage.
Who won/lost?

Um...I think I wanna lave you tender is the worst song.

I'm just so tired my thinking is a bit slow.It's almost 2 p.m. and I've been up since 6 p.m. yesterday...

"Spirit In The Sky" by Norman Greenbaum and "Brick House" by The Commodores are both good contenders.

"The original version of that song that Pearl Jam re-did, that I cant remember right now.""Last Kiss", presumably.

the dixie chicks butchering of landslide

Thats the one.

and as side note...I EFFIN HATE that "Spirit in the Sky" song.

Although it IS funny that the guy who wrote it, is Jewish.

Have you heard of the other ones I mentioned?

Nobody else has, it seems.

Most of these are pretty bad, but come on! Yellow Submarine?! The worst Beatles song ever penned is better than the "best" track (if that word is even applicable) laid down by Britney Spears, not to mention any (c)rapper who ever farted into a microphone.

Your list does include one of the worst songs ever, and that's Muskrat Love. I don't know what the producer got for recording that one, but he should have gotten twenty years in solitary confinement.

Reaching back into time, two of the most aggravating, if not worst, songs ever: Love Plus One by Haircut 100 and Spring in Fialta by Slow Children. Two '80's alternative cuts that were so annoying I still hate them and I haven't heard them in 20 years.

But the all-time worst song EVER: Debbie Boone, You Light Up My Life. This one shouldn't even be played at Guantanamo. Permanent psychological damage invariably results from prolonged exposure.

"Macarena" by Los del Rio. If I ever have to hear that song, or see the stupid dnace that goes with it, I may be capable of taking a human life-- preferably that of a stranger.

Party all the time by eddie murphy


oh and that song he did with michael jackson.

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. The version by Timmy Mallet

"Achy Breaky Heart" by... umm... that guy. You know him, right? I'm really not crazy, I promise.

"Barbie Girl" by Aqua.

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. The version by Timmy Mallet
Aww, come on, it's not that bad. :D

And do you think it was a yellow bikini with polka dots, or a bikini with yellow polka dots? And why are polka dots called that anyway?

What about this one?

We'll be singing
When we're winning

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink

He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him

'Oh Danny Boy
Danny Boy
Danny Boy...'

Actually, what's sad is that I actually like a lot of the songs mentioned, but I did manage to think of one that would be in the running:Tiny Tim - Tiptoe Through The Tulips (http://www.nathankelly.com/clip/tiptoe.mp3)

The CBC was once doing a how on people in the Netherland who were for banning the burka (sp?) then they also went to northern England and were interviewing these guys. They said stuff like "We are against muslim imigrants because they're terrorists, some aren't but most are":eek: Anyway, then they played a song that has got to be the worst song ever. It was talking about immigration and how dangerous sharing their land with refugees and whatnot was. One of the lines I remember was something like "and stop immigrations lethal dance". Some song may sound bad but that propaganda? Worst.

(snip rest of lyrics)

Tubthumping by Chumbawumba. What about it? It's not very good, but it's far from the worst song ever.

You're Beautiful by f-ing James Blunt. I hate you!!! :upyours:

Tubthumping by Chumbawumba. What about it? It's not very good, but it's far from the worst song ever.
I guess I was just going by what was stuck in my head and by how much I hated it, making it seem like the worst song ever recorded. I'm going to stand by my first opinion which was America We Stand As One.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. I had to check my blood sugar after that one. There's always "Mickey," by Toni Basil.

"Achy Breaky Heart" by... umm... that guy. You know him, right? I'm really not crazy, I promise.

"Barbie Girl" by Aqua.
Garth Brooks, achy breaky


And I nominate, umm, "Yee Haw" by Jake Owen. Although I think if I go look through some files I'll find a worse one somewhere.

Don't worry be happy. I believe the fella is named Bobby McFarin, may his eyes be consumed by maggots.

That was not Garth Brooks. It was some yokel named Billy Ray Cyrus.

McFarin gets points for his voice.

Here's one you don't know, but if you track it down you'll hate me forever:

I Hate People by the Anti-Nowhere League.

That was not Garth Brooks. It was some yokel named Billy Ray Cyrus.
Well, whoever it was, it was an annoying song. I remember watching an episode of some TV show where people were called down from the audience to throw bricks at a record of the song that was playing at high volume. Whoever stopped the song from playing won a cash prize. :p

The Freaking Birdy Song and that bally My Blobby Song too, also Grandma We Love You

Here's one you don't know, but if you track it down you'll hate me forever:

I Hate People by the Anti-Nowhere League.

Heard it, barely remember it, as the Suck Parts-Per-Million level skyrocketed, causing me to pass out.

Even worse:

"How Much Art Can You take" by SS Decontrol.

There was a scene in a movie (I've forgotten the title, but it had some dishy German actor named Horst Bucholz in it) where the aformentioned Horst Bucholz played an East German spy. The CIA broke him by forcing him to listen to that song over and over again.

Here's one you don't know, but if you track it down you'll hate me forever:

I Hate People by the Anti-Nowhere League.

Yeah, they did "So What?" didn't they? Metallica covered it and put it on a B-side to a cassette single of "Sad But True". I think that's them.

Sorry this has to be big, but I know of the worst song of all time: Fette's Vette by MC Chris It's the worst, go download and see for yourself. He raps about Star Wars and sounds like a little kid. No Joke.

So many crappy songs to choose from......

From the 70's - Run Joey Run, Wildfire, Bip Bop, You Are So Beautiful (the last note Joe tries to hit makes it worthy of inclusion, I think.), and Copacabana, for starters.

But "Milkshake" sets my teeth on edge like nothing else.

"Muskrat Love" by the Captian and Tenille

That awful Jessica Simpson cover of "Take My Breath Away"

"Muskrat Love" by the Captian and Tenille

Ouch. I forgot about THAT one.

Anything off of Pink Floyds Ummagumma

But "Milkshake" sets my teeth on edge like nothing else.

Quoted for truth.

And there's this song they play on the radio from time to time, the display tells me it's by some guy called Webbe. This song really has me wondering, don't they listen to songs before they are released? Or are they like "Oh, he didn't strike the notes, let's just ship that shit anyway"?

Personally, I'm getting rather irritated with anything by Blue October lately...of course, when you hear that godforsaken bit of drivel called "Hate Me" eighty times a day on the radio, how can you NOT hate IT?!
