worst song evar

Hmmm, it's a tricky one because there's plenty of competition, but today I feel like 'Dancing in the Moonlight' by Toploader is the worst song ever.:(
 
Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen also 'can't sing'.

See i don't rate bib dylan either. Great song wriiter great lyricist but his voice pisses me off no end. Its rare that i perfer his original version to a cover. Mr tambourine man being the only one i can think of right now & i cant actully think of ever hearing a cover of it.

I nominate the police doo doo doo da da da or whatever its called. I normally like the police but that is wank. & the cartoons covered it which surely should count against it.

Oh and first two black eyed peas before they got fergie in were actully fairly good. Proper tribe called quest sound. Joint and jams was a tune.

Ok, it's recent and it's pretty obvious... but it has to be Rockstar by Nickelback.

It's a turgid, shit-infested, plodding 'rock' song that is so by-numbers and so painfully obvious, that even tone-deaf, musically inept people like myself can probably predict every chord change in it.

Then add to that, the fact that Chad Kroeger has a voice that that makes the death knell of a cute kitty being sadisticly maimed sound positively endearing.

And then there's the lyrics. The fucking, patronising, appeal-to-the-lowest common demoniator, ego-inflating, materialistic utter wankfest that are the lyrics. This is what truly makes this abomination, the worst song of all time. Example:

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses, driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair


And you know, there is isn't a trace of irony in there. It's like a prayer for the desperate. An ode to everything that's crass and pathetic about the modern world. It's Paris Hilton in songform. Hell, it should probably be the new American national anthem.

And that is why I believe, Cockstar, I mean Rockstar, is the worst song ever. :)

*goes for a lie down


I like that one.

There's a way underground Byrds version, I've heard. ;)

I've heard a sevillanas version of Yellow Submarine. That was pretty fucking bad. :hmm:

Can I nominate 'If you where a sail boat' by Katie melua for having possibly the worst lyrics of any song. The first time I heard it I burst out laughing.

If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
If you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor.
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you were a river I would swim you,
If you were a house I would live in you all my days.
If you were a preacher I’d begin to change my ways.

Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.

If I was in jail I know you’d spring me,
If I was a telephone you’d ring me all day long.
If I was in pain I know you’d sing me soothing songs.

Sometimes I believe in fate,
But the chances we create,
Always seem to ring more true.
You took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you.

If I was hungry you would feed me,
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light.
If I was a book I know you’d read me every night.

If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
If you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor.
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore.

If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore.

If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore.

Just a string of really bad sexual metaphors. My personal favourite being ‘if you where a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor’. Why would you just nail bits of wood to the floor?

I'd forgotten about the sheer awfullness of that 'song'!! It's well up there with the worst - top ten I'd say.
 
I feel you creepin', I can see you from my shadow.
Wanna jump up in my Lamborghini Gallardo.
Maybe go to my place and just kick it, like Taebo.
And possibly bend you over.
Look back and watch me
Smack that, all on the floor,
Smack that, give me some more,
Smack that, 'till you get sore
Smack that, oooh.
Smack that, all on the floor,
Smack that, give me some more,
Smack that, 'till you get sore,
Smack that, oooh.


:mad::mad::mad::mad:.....damn, maxed out on madfaces and it is NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH.

I had that song out of my head for nearly a year. There was a guy (blatant virgin though the irony was lost on him) in the hostel I lived in who would play that all the time. He deserved to be homeless.

I once a hoofed a chair over a fair distance in a sandwich shop because they were playing Lose Yourself by Eminem. It was in the city centre at lunchtime during my white collar days. Thanks to the incident, I developed a reputation as something of a sociopath at the office I worked in. Rumours snowballed and by the end of that week, the boss thought I (or at least one of the several alter egos I was purported to have had) was going turn up with an AK and kill every motherfucker in tha room. I was fired soon after. Thank you Eminem:mad:

Jesus that is absolutely awful.
 
Hearing "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith makes me want to destroy humanity
