Baby Shark doo doo





I suggested that one just so it'd get stuck in all your heads. You're welcome.

You're diabolic. Your evil plan has worked.

Appropriate to the season, Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney.

I read somewhere that he earns a half million in royalties every season for just that one song

Tubthumping by Chumba Wumba

 

[cw5523729]

Actually I kinda like that song

I wouldn't be surprised if it's every time the chorus -- i.e. that one line -- repeats. Might explain some things about how the song is written.

Appropriate to the season, Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney.

Paul McCartney is the musical proof of the value of a good editor.
He was a much better songwriter when people could still tell him No.

The more I listen to the early stuff, the less I like it ... FAR too much repetition.

Someone's Knocking at the Door by Paul McCartney and Wings

Atrocious song. Absolutely atrocious.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

I think what's going to happen here is to show that no matter how famous or popular a group is, they almost all put out some real clunkers.


Water - The Who

 

[SimonDoom]

Appropriate to the season, Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney.

Excellent choice. Definitely one of those, "No, please ram needles through my head, instead" songs.

Another choice for me: Terry Jacks, Seasons in the Sun.

Here's the most beautiful song you could ever punish your ears with:

 

[SimonDoom]

Paul McCartney is the musical proof of the value of a good editor.
He was a much better songwriter when people could still tell him No.

And a strong producer like Martin and a bandmate like Lennon who'd be willing to tell him, "Mate, that's dogshit. We're not putting that on the album."

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Great White

Joan Crawford - Blue Oyster Cult

 

[onehitwanda]

Lady in Red - Chris de Burgh

 

[SimonDoom]

"Friday" by Rebecca Black is pretty excruciating. She was only 13 or so when she wrote it, so she gets some slack for it, but it was overplayed and hard to listen to.

 

[SimonDoom]

Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing On Rainbows.

Here's a link to the 24-hour torture chamber version:

Exactly

I can't link to it right now but I'm going to nominate the entire narration performance from Electric Castle Live and Other Tales, which is a brilliant live show otherwise.

Arjen Lucasson released Into the Electric Castle in 1998 through his Ayreon project. It's a prog-metal opera/concept album about a collection of people plucked from across time and brought together where an advanced alien intelligence can observe them under stress; the intelligence's observations and instructions narrate the opera. The album is about as close to perfect as any metal album.

For the album's 20th anniversary, a series of four live shows were performed with full costuming and theatrical sets. John de Lancie, who voices Q on Star Trek, came on as the narrator character, Forever of the Stars. He completely rewrote the narrations, and Arjen was, unfortunately, a little starstruck and didn't push back on any of it. The new narrations are badly written and badly delivered in a way that both centers de Lancie at the expense of the rest of the cast and misunderstands the motivation of the character.

Forever does not experience emotions, and the motivation for the entire experiment is to force people into stressful situations so they get emotional. The original narration is robotic and cold. De Lancie's rewritten monologues are bombastic, full of poetry and big emotional highs and lows. Despite the strength of the live performance, de Lancie's narration, which features on nineteen of the twenty songs, is so fucking bad that the live album is a hard listen.

In the spirit of the season, normally I'd nominate the vomit inducing "The Christmas Shoes":

But this bilious garbage beats it: "Faith in Santa"
