Natasha Bedingfield - These Words... closely followed by Robbie Williams - Candy.
Vile, insults to the word 'music', both of them!

Anything done by Taio Cruz.

Crazy Frog, Fast Food Rockers, Babycakes etc are just mickey takes and they know it. The disturbing ones are the " singers " who take themselves serious but are, in reality, rubbish.

What was that Madonna song that had her rapping in it - one of the lines had her saying she was driving a mini cooper, feeling super dooper. That wasnt even the worst line only the most memorable one..... It was bloody awful!

Kenickie, Punka, just plain terrible.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the lyrics of Life by Des'ree....

Mmm, yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
Oh life, oh life

I'm afraid of the dark
Especially when I'm in a park
And there's no one else around
Ooh, I get the shivers

I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo

I'm a superstitious girl
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders
I keep a rabbit's tail

I'll take you up on a dare
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I'll be there
Bungee jumping, I don't care

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo
Life, doo, doo doo
Doo, doo doo

So after all is said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun
If you really want to

Sometimes living out your dreams
Ain't as easy as it seems
You wanna fly around the world
In a beautiful balloon

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Doo, doo doo doo

Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Doo, doo doo doo
Oh life, oh life

Oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life
Oh life, oh life, oh life, oh life

Kenickie, Punka, just plain terrible.

Kenickie were brilliant and Punka is an ace song! You lot have no taste.

I nominate American Pie. **** awful, meaningless, trite toss.

Dishonourable mention to anything by Chris De Burgh but that's not really music, more a sort of aural scum floating on the outflow of the sewage farm that was 1970s and 1980s pop.

So many...

For instance, 'RnB' all sounds like this:

I nominate American Pie. * awful, meaningless, trite toss.

Yes!

And that hi ho silver lining song, especially when toothless ladies give you a conspiratorial wink at the wedding disco whilest they're shouting/mouthing 'F* OBVious!' In the chorus. Argh. Argh.

Blackflag, if it's any consolation, it ruined my morning. It's also stuck in my head, "P U N K A, punka!". Dross, absolute dross.

Mintimperial, Kenickie had the odd moment, I'll give you that, In Your Car springs to mind, but Punka? No, no, no.

Hmm, at least it kept an even worse song away from No.1. It did indeed mean nothing to me. Or anyone. Not even that wailing moustachioed fella in the long coat, I warrant.

Think the Rolling Stone poll for 'Worst Cover Song' was topped by Miley Cyrus' version of Smells Like Teen Spirit. I'm pretty thankful I've never heard that.

I'd nominate anything by Madonna, Cher or Tina Turner.

"If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal,
if her daddy's poor, just do what you feel"

Greatest lyric ever.

Lady Marmalade (original + covers)
Rock DJ (original + covers)
A Kiss from a Rose (or whatever it was called)

All crap songs with a crap lyrics and crap melodies that don't go anywhere - they just chug along for a bit then stop. Utterly pointless.

little girl's skipping song


I was there to witness
Candice's inner business
She wants the boys to notice
Her rainbows, and her ponies
She was educated but could not count to ten
Now she got lots of different horses
By lots of different men
And I say

Liberate your sons and daughters
The bush is high but in the hole is water
You can get some, when they give it
Nothing sacred, but it's a living

Skipping songs have got a bit raunchy since I was wee.

Simply the Best by Tina Turner

Totally redeemed by it's association with Chris Eubank jumping into the ring. Pick another.

'Simply the best' is right up there. There are too many though, aren't there? Paul McCartney and Phil Collins should be in prison for crimes against music, IMO. Likewise Chris De Burgh. Songs like 'Agadoo' and 'Shaddup yer Face' can't count because they were never meant to be taken seriously. What about great songs murdered by other people? I'd nominate Mr Cohen's 'Hallelujah' by that lass from one of the talent shows.

Funnily enough I saw him jamming at a opiano one night in a jazz bar in Zermatt in the mid 90's he was bloody awesome - I have always hated his commercial music though

I really think Roter Stern actually wins this! That is truly beyond awful. In fact it may be the worst bit of 'music' I've ever heard.

My vote:

I'm not normally a violent man, but I'd happily batter this bloke in the face with a baseball bat with a brick stuck on the end:

****.
