Worst Song Ever

[AchtungNight]

My personal least favorite song is the one that calls a relationship “my latest mistake”. I don’t remember who sings the song but I think it was Taylor Swift. I dislike the song because, in my humble opinion, calling a relationship a mistake going in is a bad idea. It sets you up for failure, disappointment, and other problems. Same for your partner. Yes, such things may be down the road in your relationship. But honestly who wants to think about them when the relationship begins? Not me. That’s why I don’t like the song.

UB40’s version of Red Red Wine. Should have been called Red Red Whine. So awful that if it comes on the car radio I turn it off.

I will mention this on behalf of the many people (they’re wrong, this is awesome) who feel this is the worst;

The hampster song. (Regretfully I can’t find the captioned one that specifically decoded each and every Dee, doo, and bee…

That was right up there with Badger Badger Badger

For the curious, I looked up my most disliked song and it is indeed “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift. I was also reminded of its incredibly sexist lyrics and selfish attitude. This _man_ does not want torture in his love life, Taylor, and if you do, well, guess what? You write my name in the blank space, I’ll gladly cross it out. We are Never Ever Getting Back Together.

That would be "Blank Space", which was allegedly meant to be a parody song regarding her history of failed relationships.

I'm not a Swiftie by any stretch of the imagination but I love the shot of her standing on the horse's back during one of the choruses. I'm not sure why.

"Brand New Key" - Melanie
"Tiptoe Thru The Tulips" - Tiny Tim

Now I'll be singing this shit to myself for the rest of the day

There's a good 'version' of Melanie's song here:-

The hamsterdance is great! It was even great when it was performed by a whistling cock.

"Indian Outlaw" - Tim McGraw

I refuse to even post it, much less play it.

"Brand New Key" is the dirtiest song ever. WAP can't hold a candle to it.

It's the theme song to Disney's Robin Hood sped up.

Can't beat a song built on sexual innuendo.

In the 00s and 10s, there was a trend where privileged parents bought their tweens studio time to produce singles and launch recording careers. “Friday” by Rebecca Black was the most famous of these. That’s a bad song to be sure, but Black is very sweet and time has been kind to the song. It’s not good, but it’s endearing in its badness and the lyrics and video are at least not inappropriately oversexualized.

The actual worst song ever came out of the same milieu. It’s called “Pass the Shirley Temple” by DaHv. That poor is responsible for the low point in the history of pop music, where all other ideas had been spent, and the last dregs had begun tipping down the drain.

I noted earlier that my issue with this song was with the performer. I've never listened to the entire song because I can't get past her voice.

It never occurred to me that someone would actually cover it.

Who's done it besides Melanie? Her sweet, innocent delivery is what makes it so dirty.

 

[MillieDynamite]

I Touch Myself isn't a bad song at all. It isn't the worst song to me. But it is a very dirty song from a singer that makes it sound, oh, so sexy. I can't believe they played it on the Radio back in the day, but they did.

That man-boy needs chemical castration.

Or let me at him restrained and I’ll give him something big enough to tear his fucking lily white ass in two.

Em

Robin Thickes Blurred Lines? I'm ready to delete that off my phone, sick of listening to it.

Melanie on sexual innuendo in "Brand New Key":

"'Brand New Key' I wrote in about fifteen minutes one night. I thought it was cute; a kind of old thirties tune. I guess a key and a lock have always been Freudian symbols, and pretty obvious ones at that. There was no deep serious expression behind the song, but people read things into it. They made up incredible stories as to what the lyrics said and what the song meant. In some places, it was even banned from the radio."

Apparently it really provoked a reaction from the extremely self-serious folk audiences of the Seventies. I'm always baffled to find people who are in any way hostile to "Brand New Key," though, it always seemed like just an amusing little musical trifle to me.

 

[JaxRhapsody]

Part of that is that You Are My Sunshine is structured like a murder ballad, but cuts out before the actual, you know, murder.

I'd rather listen to Steal My Sunshine.

Okay, see who remembers this one by Arlo Guthrie. "The Motorcycle song."

I dont want a pickle
I just wanna ride on my morotcycle
And I dont want a tickle
I'd rather ride on my motorcycle
And I dont wanna die
I just wanna ride on my motorcy... cle
It was late last night, the other day
Thought I'd go up and see Ray
So I went up and I saw Ray
There was only one thing Ray could say was I...
I dont want a pickle
I just wanna ride my motorcycle
And I don't want a tickle
I'd rather ride on my motorcycle
And I don't wanna die
Just wanna ride on my motorcy... cle
Late last week I was on my bike
I run into a friend named Mike
Run into a friend named Mike
Mike no longer has a bike he cries...
I don't want a pickle
I just wanna ride on my motorcycle
Yeah, and I don't want a tickle
Cuz I'd rather ride on my motorcycle
And I don't wanna die
Just wanna ride on my motorcy... cle

It's not a song......
It's comedy....

God, we're hijacking this thread. Yes, some guy drove his car onto the bridge, and the it collapsed taking the car and dog with it. The driver escaped, however. You don't have to watch this whole thing, but the incident was filmed (it's after the six minute mark). A lot of the rest is of interest to structural engineers only.

Poor Tubby the dog.

Is that, that bridge that one production company used to use for their thing at the end of their sitcoms in the 90s?

 

[WyreBendr0417]

How about Blue Swede's Hooked On A Feeling? I just can't take that song seriously with the backing vocals.

That's the only collapse of a suspension bridge that was caught on film that I know of. If it's got that distinctive swaying of the deck up and down, and then the deck peeling off the cables, than that must be the one.

Eleven pages later... I could think of some things, but to keep it simple; I fucking hate Queen. I hold them in the same regards as Aqua; making showtunes for musicals that never existed. I don't like those last three things either. Only one Queen song gets a pass for me- kinda same for Aqua, too, Comic Book Heroes is tollerable.

I agree with Patton Oswalt; sometimes Toto's Africa makes me wanna kill myself too, when I'm in Kroger or Walmart.

I'm just gonna throw everything hair and glam metal in the fire, too.
