What's the worst song ever?

[DavidMn]

Okay, this was sort of a tough one for me. But I came up with You Light Up My Life by Debby Boone. I mean, just the thought of that song makes me wanna grab the ole barf bag immedeately!!!!!! :distress:

:lol: :lol: :lol:
that's a strong contender, I tell you what.

mmm....lets say it has to be a song that was played fairly regularly....

ooo, this is hard....

I really hate the song....That's What Friends Are For (aaahhh! heeelp!!!). Sooo heinous. Dionne Warwick in general....*shudder*....Also in the running...
Su Su Sudio (or however).
So So Irritating. Ahuh.

[Jessica Leigh]

oooh... that freaking "someone left the cake out in the rain" song... shoot what is that called? MacArthur Park? oh gawd whoever wrote that must have been HIGH

I hate Lady Marmalade by the Four Hos. I think it is possibly the most irritating record EVER!

[Wild_Heart03]

oooh... that freaking "someone left the cake out in the rain" song... shoot what is that called? MacArthur Park? oh gawd whoever wrote that must have been HIGH

HAHA! Not long ago there was a thread on irritating songs, and I remember giving a nod to this one. I mean yeah it's supposed to be symbolic, but wow... a song about a cake out in the rain just seems so odd to me. :laugh:

[irishgrl]

its a tie:
Electric Avenue
Loving you (is easy cuz you're beautiful) by that gal who broke glasss with that high pitched squeaky voice of hers

Sorry 2004: Reuben.


DOWNGRADE!

[GypsySorcerer]

"Informer" - Snow
"All For One" - Rod Stewart, Sting, Bryan Adams
"Three Little Pigs" - Green Jelly

[Miss Vicky]

Rico Suave - Gerardo

[eclipse]

Oh, by the way...I have a few that come to mind (UNFORTUNATELY!!)

"Why do birds suddenly appear, everytime you are near, just like me, they long to be...Close to you" Carpenters- Smaltzy, yuck.

"Skyrockets in sight..... Afternoon Delight"... (I don't know who wrote this charmer-sorry) yuck even more...

"Alice's Restaraunt"- Arlo Guthrie- It's thanksgiving, play some good music who cares about Alice's restaraunt???, song just goes on and on and on....

"Mandy"- Barry Manilow- Song is about a dog people- not the love of his life----again, smaltzy

Just a few that I hate...and you?? :shrug:

[chiliD]

"We Built This City" -- Starship

[skcin]

"Macarena"

[GateandGarden]

Okay, let's see, I like "Lady Marmalade," and admit that "Mandy" is bad but I wouldn't say it's the worst by any stretch of the imagination. The "All for One" song is just bland, I think. Not that bad.

My picks would be:

"Trapped in a Closet" by R Kelly (any and all parts of it)
"La La" by Ashlee Simpson
"Oh Aaron" by Aaron Carter (pretty much anything by Aaron Carter is the worst song, I think :laugh: )
"I Wanna Sex You Up" by Color Me Badd
"F*ck the Men" by Willa Ford (words cannot describe how I feel about that idiot)
"Bump, Bump, Bump" by B2K

There are some really awful remakes out there, too, obviously, like-

"Tiny Dancer" by Tim McGraw
"I Can't Get No Satisfaction" by Britney Spears
"Rhiannon" by Waylon Jennings
"Dancing Queen" by those damn A*Teens
"Little Drummer Boy" by Jessica and Ashlee Simpson

I have to agree with those who went with "Rico Suave," "Informer," and "Sorry 2004," too.

[GypsySorcerer]

I'm going to have nightmares about "Rico Suave" and "Sorry 2004" now.

I need to add "Final Countdown" by Europe. *shudder*

[GateandGarden]

I need to add "Final Countdown" by Europe. *shudder*Just a warning...last time I mentioned that atrocity Mary got all mad at me for dissing one of her songs. :lol:

Wow, I love the Carpenters, I never find them irritating and at heart I'm a punk rock chick.
My favourite song of theirs is Superstar.

Natasha Beddingfield - These Words


*gasp*

I love that song! :laugh: But on to the issue at hand...

Some contenders for the worst song evah:

Barbie Girl - Aqua

Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus

Forever Young - Rod Stewart (horrible remake which ruined the original for me forever)

Shut Up - Kelly Osbourne (who told this girl she had the right to sing?)


I'll post more....

[Miss Vicky]

Forever Young - Rod Stewart (horrible remake which ruined the original for me forever)



Umm... that's actually not a remake. The titles and theme are the same but the lyrics are different, although Stewart did split the royalties with Dylan.


Rod Stewart:

May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you’re far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you’d have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you’ll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young
Forever young

And when you finally fly away
I’ll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I’m right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young
Forever young ,forever young
Forever young, forever young
For, forever young, forever young


Bob Dylan:

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

[GateandGarden]

Barbie Girl - AquaI think it's kind of fun. :o

Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus

Shut Up - Kelly Osbourne (who told this girl she had the right to sing?)

Fair enough. I'll call it a copy. I still hate it.

[dissention]

"Turn the Page" by Bob Seger, hands down. Words cannot describe how much I loathe that song.

[Miss Vicky]

Fair enough. I'll call it a copy. I still hate it.

Fair enough. I still love it. Next to "Rhythm of My Heart," it's my favorite Rod Stewart song. Loved it since I was little.

Honey, that song is the most self-indulgent, ridiculous, heinous piece of **** I've ever had the misfortune of hearing. It hurts my everything and always has. What bothers me even more is that it's so popular. :laugh:

[hayley]

I'm going to have nightmares about "Rico Suave" and "Sorry 2004" now.

I need to add "Final Countdown" by Europe. *shudder*
I have a "Final Countdown" ringtone on my cellphone. I'm constantly missing calls because I do the Gob dance (from Arrested Development) when it starts to play and I get distracted.

[Miss Vicky]

Honey, that song is the most self-indulgent, ridiculous, heinous piece of **** I've ever had the misfortune of hearing. It hurts my everything and always has. What bothers me even more is that it's so popular. :laugh:


I just don't see how anybody could put that song in the same category as turds like "Rico Suave," "Achy Breaky Heart," and "Macarena."

And for the record, "Turn the Page" is my all time favorite Bob Seger song and I will NEVER forgive Metallica for ruining it.

[gldstwmn]

Okay, this was sort of a tough one for me. But I came up with You Light Up My Life by Debby Boone. I mean, just the thought of that song makes me wanna grab the ole barf bag immedeately!!!!!! :distress:

That one's pretty bad. I'd still go with Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road. :o

[gldstwmn]

oooh... that freaking "someone left the cake out in the rain" song... shoot what is that called? MacArthur Park? oh gawd whoever wrote that must have been HIGH

I'm pretty sure that Jimmy Webb said somewhere that he was high on acid when he wrote it. Or maybe I just hope he said that. :laugh:

[gldstwmn]

Umm... that's actually not a remake. The titles and theme are the same but the lyrics are different, although Stewart did split the royalties with Dylan.


Dylan's Forever Young is one of my favorite songs and worth a listen. :nod:

Well, the REALLY odd thing is that Donna Summer felt compelled to COVER it! What was up with THAT?!?! :shrug:

Performed by the Starland Vocal Band- written by Bill and Taffy Danoff, better known for writing "Take Me Home, Country Roads" with John Denver.

Persom self-flagellation NOW for this blasphemy
That song sucks asssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.......

"Come On Eileen" -Dexy's Midnight Runners

Anything by Celine DionAw, I like "Come On Eileen."

And you know what I'm going to say. I bet you haven't heard 20% of her music. And it is not all the same. :p

I'm sportin' the avatar so I must represent. :cool:

[GateandGarden]

Too much coke? :shrug: :laugh: Although I must admit her vocal is nice.:oI actually have a Donna Summer collection that I hardly ever listen to and that song is on it. Maybe I should go listen to it to see what everyone's talking about.

[GateandGarden]

I agree - I am a Waylon fan.It's nothing personal against him because I respect country legends, but I think a countrified version of that song is SO wrong. I think it's actually worse than Rod Stewart's cover of "Stand Back." :eek:

[GypsySorcerer]

Barbie Girl - Aqua
I love that song. It puts me in a good mood

[eclipse]

Wow, I love the Carpenters, I never find them irritating and at heart I'm a punk rock chick.
My favourite song of theirs is Superstar.

I love Superstar Too- Not a bash on the Carpenters -just that one song!

Also Diss- How can you hate "Turn the Page? "
That is a great live tune for the era and the whole travelin' with a band-where am I song..and dude, it's BOB Seeger...

Also C'mon Eileen is a cute little ditty, makes me silly
and Paula....ditto on the Macarena- dead on yuck!!

[The Tower]

Too much coke? :shrug: :laugh: Although I must admit her vocal is nice.:o
:nod: The lyrics suck, but her vocal is awesome! That girl can sing.

And you know what I'm going to say. I bet you haven't heard 20% of her music. And it is not all the same.

I love them, too, and my tastes are pretty crazy. Karen's voice was sooo gorgeous.

I need to download some Carpenters songs for when my iPod gets here. I'm so cool.

[TheBlueLamp]

I hate "Let Her Cry" by Hootie & The Blowfish.

"In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins also makes me want to be sick whenever I hear it.

On the other hand, I? LOVE Donna Summer's version of MacArthur Park!

[skcin]

I just don't see how anybody could put that song in the same category as turds like "Rico Suave," "Achy Breaky Heart," and "Macarena."

:( I like Rod's cover of that.

And, how can you say ANY "countrified" version a Stevie Nicks song is "SO wrong" when Stevie's roots are in country? Just listen (hard) to how many of Stevie's songs ARE basically country chord changes & feel...MOST of 'em.

[The Tower]

Uh, you suck? :shrug: :wavey:
Yes, I do. But, not in the way that Celine Dion sucks.

[GateandGarden]

And, how can you say ANY "countrified" version a Stevie Nicks song is "SO wrong" when Stevie's roots are in country? Just listen (hard) to how many of Stevie's songs ARE basically country chord changes & feel...MOST of 'em.I know that her roots are in country, but so are LeAnn Rimes', and she hasn't always stuck with it. :shrug:

"Stand Back" is a good example, IMO. What if there were a country version of that? What about "I Can't Wait" or "Sister Honey" or "If Anyone Falls"? I don't think those work at all. JMO.


EDIT: Also, I think that there are some Stevie songs that are very uniquely Stevie and I wouldn't really approve of any remakes. I think "Rhiannon," is one of those, as well as "Edge of Seventeen" and probably "Trouble in Shangri-La," too. If I were a famous singer (oh how nice that would be) I would cover something else besides those because I would be embarrassed to cover those. I might do "That's Alright." Or maybe "Think About It"....yeah. Sorry, I got caught up in the fantasy. :o

[GateandGarden]

Yes, I do. But, not in the way that Celine Dion sucks.Look, I suck at comebacks so this is not working. :(

Have those "Pickin' On" guys done a Stevie Nicks album yet? If not, it's just around the corner. :D

[GateandGarden]

Have those "Pickin' On" guys done a Stevie Nicks album yet? If not, it's just around the corner. :DOh, I edited my post, but it just turned into my usual ridiculous drivel, so don't get excited. Not that you would.

Anyway, I don't think I've ever actually listened to one of those "Pickin' On" CDs, though I've seen quite a few of them. What are they like?

[GateandGarden]

I thought of another bad song that I don't think has been mentioned-

Lionel Richie's "Dancin' on the Ceiling"

[The Tower]

Look, I suck at comebacks so this is not working. :(
Not to worry, you and I and Celine all suck at something. ;)

My favorite Celine Dion Sucks Moment was during the rehearsals for the first VH1 Divas Live. Carole King (who is the complete opposite of Celine Dion) was sitting at the piano rehearsing "You've Got A Friend" with Celine, Gloria Estafan, and Shania Twain. In the midst of rehearsing, Carole decides to go over a particular vocal part- Celine decides to do her typical over-emoting by taking the phrase and adding multiple-gymnastics-notes and Carole stops her dead her tracks and says, "No, no, no- just one note. Not a lot of notes- just one note." You could tell that Carole was irritated by the whole thing.

I was like Goldie Hawn's character from Death Becomes Her, where she was watching the Madeline Ashton movie where Madeline is being strangled to death. Helen (Goldie's character) keeps rewinding the tape over and over and over to savor the moment.

[chiliD]

Oh, I edited my post, but it just turned into my usual ridiculous drivel, so don't get excited. Not that you would.

Anyway, I don't think I've ever actually listened to one of those "Pickin' On" CDs, though I've seen quite a few of them. What are they like?



Those "Pickin' On" albums are great! I didn't realize how MANY of them there are, though...I'd go broke trying to collect 'em all. They take the songs from a particular artist, then rearrange them for bluegrass instruments (fiddle, dobro, banjo, dulcimer, flat-top guitar, etc)...all instrumental, and they're amazing!! I mean, c'mon, "Pickin' On...Cream"??? U2?? Led Zeppelin?? Black Sabbath??? YIKES!! But, they all sound wonderful! I DO think there's a "Pickin' On Fleetwood Mac", too!

Edit: Upon further review...no, sadly, there's no "Pickin' On Fleetwood Mac" album. Here's the link to the "Pickin' On" (@CDUniverse) (http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.asp?HT_Search_Info=Pickin%27+On&HT_Search=ARTIST&cart=265004269&style=music&altsearch=yes) section of CDUniverse...they have 30 second clips of their songs.

[Sapphire Girl]

Oh, by the way...I have a few that come to mind (UNFORTUNATELY!!)

"Why do birds suddenly appear, everytime you are near, just like me, they long to be...Close to you" Carpenters- Smaltzy, yuck.

"Skyrockets in sight..... Afternoon Delight"... (I don't know who wrote this charmer-sorry) yuck even more...
I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but that line in Close to You reminds me of Hitchcock's The Birds.

Afternoon Delight is by Starland Vocal Band.

I can't stand All Right Now by Free and Disco Duck by Rick Dees.

[WELSH WITCH]

Anything by Meatloaf sucks, I can't hear it.

Don't even attempt to lump Celine Dion into the same world as Aretha Franklin... for shame.

Agreed. Heinous.
There isn't enough room in this thread to hold all the nazzzztiness that is Lionel Richie's solo career. At least he had some style when he was in the Commodores.

ON EDIT: The video for that song makes it a thousand times worse than the song is by itself. It's mid-80's dreck at it's worst.

Kim Carnes: Chain Letter

Though I like the sappiness of it (sucker for the sappy), the lyrics are awful:

"I read your letter and it feels like chains, yeah. I read your letter and it's chaining me to you!"

If I had a barfing emoticon, it clearly would be used now! :lol:

[GateandGarden]

I knew I forgot something! I HATE that song. I felt so cheated when I bought the cd after hearing What You Waiting For and was subjected to that swillYou know, my mom (who tends to listen to a lot of modern music these days, while I'm buying old FM albums, so clearly we should be switching places) talked about how "What You Waiting For" and "Hollaback Girl" were crappy songs for the longest time and then all of sudden she bought the CD and she keeps playing it in her car. There are only a few tracks she doesn't like. :shrug: I don't want one of my own, though. It seems that I preferred her in No Doubt.

I love her French music, as I've said at least eighty times. I made the mistake of buying an album of a concert in Paris because it has performances of some of my favorite songs (not just of hers but of all time) like "Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore" and "Les Derniers Seront Les Premiers" and I was so, soooooooooo disappointed because she ruined all her own songs by playing with them. They were perfect on the original albums but she put all kinds of acrobatics with them that didn't belong on this CD. It was awful. And what was even worse was that in this song called "Un Garcon Pas Comme Les Autres," she had children singing with her! You have to understand how ridiculously inappropriate that is because the song is about the pain of being in love with someone who's gay! Why was was a childrens' chorus singing along? That really baffled me. And I have this other live CD that someone got me as a gift that was yet another Paris concert in which she was singing "Le Monde Est Stone," which is quite dark and talks about wanting to die and she had to make all these stupid noises when she did it live! It was totally inappropriate!

So, I know what you're talking about. But I will always love the album versions of many of her songs. Some are just plain beautiful and have wonderful lyrics (not written by her, of course). Plus, I performed "Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore" twice at my university (and I didn't play with it :laugh: ), and I got numerous compliments and people telling me that I should be a professional singer, etc. I don't deserve that and it saddens me to an extent because I'd love to be a singer, but "Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore" will always be very close to me because of that.

Honey, that song is the most self-indulgent, ridiculous, heinous piece of **** I've ever had the misfortune of hearing. It hurts my everything and always has. What bothers me even more is that it's so popular. :laugh:

You hate it so much you were forced to use a Stevie lyric to describe your dislike.

And you are freaking CRAZY to think that song is the bad let alone the worst song ever.

Hands To Heaven - Breathe (can't stand that song, WAY too cheesy)

The Thong Song - Sisqo (I liked it at one point, until public radio overplayed it within an inch of its life)

....And basically anything rap these days gets on my nerves.
