The worst songs ever

[Five_Inch_Heels]

I was thinking "Lucy in the Sky with Diamands". It sure has repetition.

--Annie

And plasticine porters, cellophane flowers and marmalade skies.

 

[TheRedChamber]

Honestly, I'd be fine making a mix tape of the last ten suggestions.

The worst song in the world was probably performed in some shed by a teenagers who couldn't play their instuments, who were barely literate with lyrics, had no grasp of music theory, who never got a record deal and who promptly broke up five minutes later. Unless you were in that band, you'll never have heard it

In lieu of that, I nominate Wonderwall by Oasis. Just dreadful.

 

[TarnishedPenny]

I am staggered that nobody has mentioned Don’t Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin. It would take me a week to list just the chapter headings of why it is so wrong.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Is that the happyhappyjoyjoy song?

 

[LilKitKat]

Who Let the Dogs Out (Baha Men)
Barbie Girl (Aqua)
My Humps (Black Eyed Peas)

 

[AwkwardlySet]

My Heart Will Go On, by Celine Dion.

Man, did people milk that one when The Titanic came out. I still can't stand it.

 

[LilKitKat]

My Heart Will Go On, by Celine Dion.

Man, did people milk that one when The Titanic came out. I still can't stand it.

I'd argue its a good song that got played 10million times too many (and luckily I missed the first 8 million times ince I wasnt born yet)

 

[TheWritingGroup]

Who Let the Dogs Out (Baha Men)
Barbie Girl (Aqua)
My Humps (Black Eyed Peas)

If you list those, I have to ask where "I'm on a boat" is?

--Annie

(Don't say "It's on a boat." Please.)

“Oh she may get wooly, women do get wooly, because of all the stress”

('Bull Durham', 1988)

great movie

 

[ADirtyPerv]

Shakira - She Wolf

Good Lord. I only heard this song the other day, and it's so flat. So flat. Even the AWOOO is lazy. She just sounds like she doesn't wanna be there.

 

[YmaOHyd]

It's quite a bit better in Spanish.

 

[OralAllOver]

Go Ask Alice, Jefferson Airplane

 

[kathyisgr65]

van halen..i know it said worst..but not a good one so same thing

 

[ADirtyPerv]

It's quite a bit better in Spanish.

I'll have to check it out, but now I'm just giggling thinking she was secretly "awooo"ing in Spanish.

 

[YmaOHyd]

I'll have to check it out, but now I'm just giggling thinking she was secretly "awooo"ing in Spanish.

Well, you see, a she-wolf goes 'awoooo' and a loba goes 'awoooo.'

“We don’t have to take your clothes off to have a good time”, by Jermaine Stewart.
I think it was a one hit wonder for obvious reasons. Ain’t nobody needs to hear that kind of blasphemy!

 

[Voboy]

“Little Drummer Boy.”

It’s shit.

#hottake

 

[M_K_Babalon]

I could probably make a list of songs, like Free Bird, or bands/people, like The White Strips. But what sticks with me is years ago I had a security job and this one apartment was blasting Stairway To Heaven my entire shift. Somebody might catch a bullet if I hear that song again.

 

[ShelbyDawn57]

I was a Top 40 DJ when Debbie Boone released 'You light up my Life.'
It's not the worst song ever, but it is the one I absolutely cannot listen to.
In it's 25 week run in the top forty, I played that damned song over a thousand times.(Grok says 1188)
That's ~eight times a shift, at six shifts a week.

 

[Djmac1031]

Appropriate to the season, Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney.

That song sounds like he woke up the morning of the recording session and realized he never actually wrote anything, and so jotted it down on a napkin in the limo on the way to the studio, and no one had the balls to tell the Beatles legend his song sucked ass and so they recorded it.

 

[Djmac1031]

Phil Collins, "Another Day In Paradise."

Sappy and pretentious and I'm sorry but there is absolutely nothing worse than some rich rock star trying to make me feel guilty for not feeding every homeless person I pass by.

You're a millionaire, Phil, maybe go buy her a sandwich or start a homeless shelter instead of writing some shitty song about it and pretending you did something.

 

[YmaOHyd]

On that note, "Imagine." I'd like you to imagine shutting the hell up.

 

[Djmac1031]

"Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle.

This song was written with one purpose, and one purpose only: to get played at weddings as the Father - Daughter dance.

Sappy sentimental shlock that drags on for way too fucking long before it finally gets to the point.

I was a wedding DJ for many years and every time a bride chose this song I felt obligated to inform them of just how long it is and that her and her father would be out there all that time with everyone just looking at them. A lot of times they either reconsidered their choice or at least asked me to cut it short.

Jump by Van Halen.
