My nomination goes to
Nope. Its that dreadful "how do you like your eggs in the morning"
Or "Mr Blue Sky"
nsfw/nsfl
Probably by Paul McCartney. So many to pick from...
Isn't it officially "I want my baby back" by Jimmy Cross?
Natasha Bedingfield - These Words... closely followed by Robbie Williams - Candy.
Vile, insults to the word 'music', both of them!
Once in a while Wopster you come out with something I wholeheartedly agree with
That Riskay song is like trapped in the closet. its just too bad to be taken seriously. its a comedy song
The older I get the more "anything on Radio 1" becomes the answer.
Crazy Frog.
Shaddap You Face.
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!
This abomination appeared on a Spotify playlist I was listening to this morning.
Kenickie, Punka, just plain terrible.
Retro83... errrr wow, I just got starred at in the office when i burst out laughing, so glad for the headset though
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
Thread closed.

Pure poetry. Lovely song.
Pahhh, none of those get even close to....
Vanilla - No Way No Way!!!
That song Richard Harris sung - He left his cake out in the rain and will have to bake it again........nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
FWIW Kenickie -Punka is a cracking tune imo....
No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there's no limit!
No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there's no limit!
Try reading it out poetry style, with feeling. 😆
lunge - Ive never heard that Kenickie song before. You've just ruined my 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.
[i]I nominate American Pie. **** awful, meaningless, trite toss.[/i]
mintimperial is my new friend 🙂
lunge - Ive never heard that Kenickie song before. You've just ruined my life
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.
Shaddap You Face.
Really should have just ended the thread right there.
Des'ree's rhyming dictionary must be pretty dog-eared
OP is still winning
Shaddap You Face.
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.
It's a tough call,I am torn between "Stop the Cavalry" and "You'll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties" .
So,Jona Lewie wins with [url=
[/url] a very close second
Got to be...
Chumbawumba - Tubthumping
Very apt for today, please give it a listen
Yes anything by Chris De Burgh takes some beating. There's always Barrie Manilow though.
Vanilla - No Way No Way!!!
+1
man-ah mah-ah
Currently hating this one, which my daughters seem to love:
He even looks like Mick Hucknall, and I hated Simply Red too.
Thank Binners for saving me the search.
People don't believe this song exists and was released. Or rather, escaped.
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.
I'd nominate anything by Madonna, Cher or Tina Turner.
Really??? They've all done some pretty good songs. Not the later end-of-career stuff, true, but the earlier work?
Achy Breaky Heart was quite dreadful
In the summertime by Mungo Jerry always grates my ears for some reason
Not the later end-of-career stuff
This is so bad is good
Aga-f***ing-doo
It's coming to a crisp advert featuring Gary Lineker soon. Be afraid, be very afraid
LapSteel - MemberIn the summertime by Mungo Jerry always grates my ears for some reason
"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.
No no no. Mungo Jerry were brilliant.
You're all sheltered.
Anything by the flaming lips, but if pushed for one - " do you realise"
They say there's a fine line between genius and madness.......Chocolate Rain is firmly on the side of madness 😀
What's playing right now on R6 gets my vote
I am the music man - aargh!
Banality distilled down to its purest essence.
The Final Countdown by Europe gets my nomination - musically and lyrically awful.
+another for American Pie.
Either
or, talking of Miley Cyrus, how about her dad?
Some absolute stinkers here - good work everyone!
Banality distilled down to its purest essence
It's enough to turn you into a smack-addled hasbean.
Xanadu.........
From this week's [url= http://singletrackmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/fresh-goods-friday-258/ ]Fresh Goods[/url] -
It gets particularly bad from 6 hours in, I believe:
I win! 😈
I'd nominate anything by Madonna, Cher or Tina Turner.
Really??? They've all done some pretty good songs. Not the later end-of-career stuff, true, but the earlier work?
I've never heard anything by any of them that didn't make me want to pull my own ears off...
Come on Eileen.
Awful song drunkenly danced to at awful weddings (I like drunkeness and weddings, just not to that soundtrack).
God of Thunder by Kiss was always ridiculed by the heavy rock fraternity when I was growing up...
ANYTHING by the Panic Street Cleaner (Manic Street Preachers)
Anything by Morrisey
Anything by PitBull (See 'Picture that with a a Kodak' 👿 )
Scooter (If only for the 'Painted Cow!' lyric)
Specific songs - Angels
Phil Collins
I'd nominate anything by Madonna, Cher or Tina Turner.
Simply the Best by Tina Turner? Simply the worst song ever recorded. Ear-grindingly awful!
the Panic Street Cleaner (Manic Street Preachers)
If you have to explain the joke...
Hey Jude, even by Paul McCartney standards that is dire.
If you have to explain the joke...
Ahh, you must be the other fan....(i'm insinuating that there are only two fans)
" It's hard to love a maaan whose legz are bent an paralysed
and the waaaants and neeeeds of a woman your age Ruby I realise
Oh RU-UBY don't take yerrr lurve to to-own "
Another vote for Candy by Robbie Williams...sounds like an over produced, little girl's skipping song
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 sayLiberate 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.
Bad covers I nominate Kate Nash doing 'I'm not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You'. Cringeworthy.
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 thoughPhil Collins should be in prison for crimes against music
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:
****.
One day historians will look back and realize we hit the epoch of civilization around 1983.
Much better in reverse without lyrics
This one has to be up there. It was played nearly constantly by my old boss, which I think is in violation of some anti-cruelty laws.
Just wondering the reasons behind posting video links... like - this is a really terrible song, have a listen!?!
