Worst Song Ever

[Keroin]

OK, we have lots of music threads on here with really great tunes but let's talk about the stinkers.

Which songs do you loathe and why?

I will lead of with one of my all time worst...

MacArthur Park

Every time I hear this I want to scream, "IT'S JUST A CAKE!!!!"

YOU TOOK MINE!!!!!

Although TMBG DID do a great little parody of it...

I'll have to come up with another! So many choices, luckily...

Samwell "What what in the butt"

What what in the butt

The southpark parody is slightly worse. I think it's longer.

Anything by the "Stylistics" or any of that stuff that sounds like they're on helium.

Edit: The OP asked "why" -- well I hope that somehow my candidate is self explanatory.

Well, in newer radio material.. I'm going to have to go with anything that comes out of the mouth of Justin Bieber. Also, another song I believe called rack city. It plays over and over on music choice... And I have never, never heard a worse few minutes of torture.

Closing Time - I feel like that song is just like the Chopping Broccoli song from SNL.

Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus. I can honestly say that I've always hated that song. When it was popular, if it came on I'd turn the radio off.

Sigourney Weaver is priceless in this. Also, RIP Phil Hartman. I fucking loved him.

Yes, yes indeed. Quite a piece of comedic epic-ness. ( a few drinks later, I couldn't think of a better word )

Ohhhhhhhhh Phil Hartman. I miss you with all my cranial humorlobe. Imagine all we missed from him. RIP, indeed.

Suckiness defined. Good lord. And then he was Hanna Montana's dad, so that gets him fifty lashes, too.



My candidate? FRIDAY!!!!

So egregiously bad I feel feel bad not recognizing it as amazing,

Oh ditto!

Makes me cringe. Also makes me think of line dancing...which makes me cringe again.

He's actually the father of the actress who plays Hannah Montana, you know. I think it's ... pathetic, him using his daughter for fame when he couldn't get it himself.

Well, I like country and I've love to learn to line dance. I still HATE that song.

In Heaven there is no Beer

Maybe not the worst song ever, but one that has the capacity to eat brain cells at an astonishing rate.

This one makes me cringe...
Whip my Hair ~ Willow Smith

 

[nastyman12a]

It's an older song, so thankfully I dont hear it very often. But Marie Osmond "Paper Roses" Is a song that can make my skin crawl.

 

[Netzach]

there are soooo many worse songs than the semisonic one. Maybe I am getting those local beer goggles on after all.

Come on, we have Katy Perry. A fine thing if you press mute.

I didn't know! Lashes for him! Lashes, I say.

Come on! It's incredibly, annoyingly repetitive and catchy. Which is almost all I demand in a song!

 

[lovecraft68]

This song may not be worst ever, but Michael Bolton is probably played over the speakers in hell. And that hair

Fixed that.

 

[lovecraft68]

Fixed that.

Much appreciated.

It was a rip off that he won a couple of awards for remakes. Christ, I've heard bands at weddings that sounded better.

Well, it is good to know that there are things in the world that make me cringe should I need to. And I do sometimes, but not today.

Props to Mr Bolton too. OK, yeah, so he blows...but I mean where would elevator and on-hold muzac be now without him? Who could possibly take his place?

Mmmmm, nope, I really hate it. The thing is there is a lot of so awful it's kind of good, like that Friday song, but a truly bad song makes you scream in agony whenever it is on the radio.

Here's a blast from the 80's that used to make me want to stick pencils in my ears

Okay one more. I remember my old man blasting this goddamn thing over and over. From back in the 70's (and when my old man went out and got a perm)
