What's the WORST song you have ever heard?

[Arkana]

In my opinion, it's "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head." I don't even remember who wrote it--just that it was a terrible, terrible song. I would rather chew a jumbo roll of tinfoil than hear it again.

[flakey_foont]

1. Melanie

Brand new Key...................

that's what sinners have to listen to in the lowest circle of Heck

[LiberalEsto]

6. That one is hard to beat!

I once met her and her mother in a NJ mall and bought her first 45 rpm single. Luckily, I lost it.

[khashka]

9. I LIKE that song!

khash.

[leftofthedial]

2. "My House Is Infested with Fleas"

worst ever

[CO Liberal]

3. Pau Anka's "You're Havin' My Baby"

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Kikosexy2]

4. The worst of the...

worst--THE NIGHT CHICAGO DIED and CONVOY. Dreadful, dreadful songs.

[BillZBubb]

5. That's pretty bad but

"Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy" is worse.

[AlCzervik]

7. Have you forgotten and Proud to be an American

oh and the little known "Iraq and i roll" by Clint Black.

[Kikosexy2]

And..

everybody's country hick Toby Keith's THE ANGRY AMERICAN

[AlCzervik]

12. you dude, he's gonna stick a boot up you're ass, dontcha know

i forgot about that one, or maybe i'm trying to block it from my memory.

[Kikosexy2]

14. A forgettable...

song at best...LOL.

[edbermac]

8. Band of Gold

[Beaverhausen]

10. Burt Bachrach and Hal David wrote it

and they wrote some of the best songs ever. Melodies for days.

However, I will agree "Raindrops..." was not their finest moment.

[Kikosexy2]

16. They sure did..

DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SAN JOSE Or DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO MAN SO GAY?

[Rowdyboy]

11. "Hamburger Lady" by Throbbing Gristle...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000003Z5C/102-7372091-6095347?v=glance

[Arkana]

15. Now THERE's a band name that'll get a double-take.

:spray:

[punpirate]

13. This may date me...

... but I adamantly assert that this category can be filled by any song caterwauled by Tiny Tim....

[Arkana]

18. I'm not old enough to remember Tiny Tim

but I saw him on old tapes of the Tonight Show. Dreadful crap--he was like the Michael Jackson of the 60s.

[khashka]

17. All time worst

Shoedance by KaTe Bush. She's a goddess, but this sucks big time. Whenever I hear it I start looking for an icepick so I can puncture my eardrums and then start stabbing myself randomly, hoping I might possibly do enough damage to die and never ever have to hear it again.


Khash.

[Beaverhausen]

22. I am a Kate fanatic and have never heard that song

where did it come from? or are you thinking of "The Red Shoes?"

[khashka]

28. You are infinitely lucky

Shoedance is the dance remix of The Red Shoes and it goes on forever, literally. She mixed in samples of Miranda Richardson from the movie they made of the album.

You'd think, decent song, KaTe, Miranda, what could possibly go wrong? Apparently everything.


Khash.

[Beaverhausen]

29. Oh, ok. By the way did you see the "movie?"

Kate is just so wacky!!!

I hear she actually has a CD coming out sometime this year. It's only been what, 12 years since THE RED SHOES?

[khashka]

37. I'll believe in that CD when I hold it in my feverish hands

She did announce that it's coming out later this year, but.... she did the same thing two years ago, three years ago, five years ago and eight years ago.

She may not be the boy who cried wolf, but she's definitely the girl who cried album. But I'll cut her some slack - raising a kid is hard work and maybe Bertie is old enough now that she has time for other things.

But KaTe is a law unto herself - she does what she wants when she wants and the rest of us just have to either lump it or like it.

KaTe fans are like Oliver Twist: "Please, ma'am, may I have some more?"

Khash.

[Enraged_Ape]

42. I always wondered about that CD

She obviously found time to do the music for those Fruitopia ads a few years ago. And her studio is in her house, for crying out loud.

[khashka]

49. Fruitopia came before Bertie

And her mother died and she and Del Palmer broke up and Bertie showed up and she got stalked - the girl's had a few rough years. And she still managed "The Red Shoes" - her weakest album but the old magic was still there. She shines brightly on Big Stripey Lie, Constellation of the Heart, and Lily. I think Song of Solomon shows the first steps in a new and exciting direction for her. How many people can make a bad album and still demand a following? KaTe can.

Anyway the studio has been renovated, and lots of reliable cool musicians have said they worked on the new CD and have rave reviews about it. So I'll give it the benefit of the doubt..... but even if she never records another album... she's still put herself among the gods.

Khash.

[Enraged_Ape]

51. I didn't know she and Del Palmer broke up

He was, like, her boyfriend from the beginning.

Anyway, those Fruitopia ads were the shizznit.

[khashka]

53. Yeah they were together from the year dot

But while making The Red Shoes, she and Del broke up, her Mama died, and she got pregnant (and Del wasn't the Daddy). I think any one of those counts as a serious life trauma.

Anyway, Del is either engineering or producing the new album. I don't know if they are back together as lovers but they are back together in a working relationship. And Del knows her and her music better than anyone except maybe her brother Paddy.

So I'll believe it when I see it, but I do have high expectations.

Khash.

[flakey_foont]

19. In this part of the country

we are infested with Waffle Houses............on some of them,, on their jukebox...they have several selections of songs,each of which has as it's theme something to do with, of all things, Waffle House.... i.e, "I Found Love at the Waffle House", any song glorifying Waffle House has to be given special dispensation to automatically be included in the worst songs of all time

[kcwayne]

20. Onward Christian Soldiers

The music and the message suck big

[maveric]

21. "Seasons in the Sun" by the Terry Jacks

:puke:

[Enraged_Ape]

47. Funny story about that song

Terry Jacks never intended to release it. Then one day his paperboy came over to collect on Jacks' monthly subscription while Jacks was listening to a demo at his house. The paperboy thought the song was great, then had all his friends come over to listen to it. Jacks was so inspired by this that he finished the song (with the help of the immortal guitarist Link Wray) and he released it. It was a huge hit--even making the top ten songs of 1974, if I'm not mistaken.

So blame that one on the paperboy.

[Rooktoven]

23. Whatever Styx song is playing within 500 yards of me --nt

[BrklynLiberal]

24. Whenever I hear Linda Ronstadt's "Blue Bayou", my teeth hurt.

[last_texas_dem]

25. "Nothing Came Out" by the Moldy Peaches

(At least I think that's the title) My ex-girlfriend loved this duo, and pretty much everything they did was awful. IMHO The guy Adam Green has done some solo stuff that's just as bad if not worse. Their genre is supposed to be "anti-folk." Whatever the hell that means... :-)

[tridim]

26. Margaritaville

Or any Jimmy Buffet song for that matter.

[saltpoint]

27. Several titles come to mind. I'd name as finalists --

-- "The Hokey Pokey Song," the theme song to "Green Acres," and the Haydn E-flat Piano Sonata.

I hate Haydn.

[DistressedAmerican]

30. CLEARLY THE WORST - "Let The Eagle Soar - John Ashcroft.

Made me want to drink those brain cells out of existence right away.

[AwakeAtLast]

60. That's my answer, too.

:hi:

[Danmel]

31. Him and the Pina Colada Song

Mercifully I can't remember the name of the guy who did those two monstrosities :puke:

[Enraged_Ape]

44. Why, that would be the great Rupert Holmes!!

Who also spat forth the immortal "Morning Man":

"...doesn't take much to wake me,
just you shake your Morning Man...

...I've been dreamin' of how you'll wake me,
since this endless night began...

...so wake up with your early riser;
in my eyes you'll see the plan...

...we'll get plenty of sleep this evenin',
then I'll be your Morn-innng Man..."

[BlueJazz]

32. Satisfaction by the Stones or Anybody. That song is about as....

..cerebral as a dog's asshole.

[Seabiscuit]

33. "Finger-Poppin' Time"

I know, I know... most of you weren't even born yet. But that has to be the all-time worst song ever.

[hyphenate]

34. My unfavorite song

will always be "My Sharona." Blech.

[fluffernutter]

35. Muskrat Love

[freebird1]

36. Gonna get my picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone

[GregW]

38. "I ran" ... by Flock of Seagulls

Close second: "Dreamer" by Supertramp

[Nicole]

39. Afternoon Delight

By the Starland Suck Band

[jakefrep]

57. We have a winner (or loser?)!

That song is musical pornography.

[ltfranklin]

40. Paper Roses!

Maybe you think different, but just imagine hearing it about once an hour while working the graveyard shift at an automated country radio station every working night for weeks on end!

To this day, I still feel feel like poking out my eardrums when I hear it.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

41. "I want it that way" by the Backstreet Boys

Worst. Song. Ever. :puke:

[MrScorpio]

43. I know I'm going to piss a bunch of you off

But I'm not a big fan of Captain Beefheart

[JimmyJazz]

46. Alas. Alak.

you are dead to me :P

[terrya]

45. "Angie" by the Rolling Stones

I want to chop off my ears whenever I hear that horrible song.

[Bonhomme Richard]

48. "FEELINGS", nothing more than FEELINGS n/t

[flamingyouth]

61. Yes!

I mean, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :banghead:

[mcscajun]

50. Sugar, Sugar -- The Archies.

:puke: :puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

[Pool Hall Ace]

52. No one has mentioned a Bobby Goldsboro song yet?

Honey ?
Watching Scotty Grow?

:puke:

[Straight Shooter]

56. Oh, that did it. I just couldn't think of the singer.

And, Honey, I miss you
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

See the tree how big it's grown,
but friend, it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it was just a twig

Oh .... I'm getting sick, I'm getting really sick :puke:

[marions ghost]

58. cringe.....

oh yeah...
top contender
Made me think of:

Little Green Apples

God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind

Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me
And I'm always late
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me
'cause she's made that way

And if that ain't lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns
FADE
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis

[onager]

63. Honey? Oh, the song about Hell's Angels...

"One day while I was not at home,
While she was there and all alone,
The Angels came..."

:evilgrin:

[malta blue]

54. LET THE EAGLE SOAR

Good lord, how can that not top the list!

[marions ghost]

55. Pee-pul...pee-pul who need pee-pul...are the

...suckiest pee-pul
2. I Did It Myyyyyyyyyyyy Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy
3. The Impossible Dream

(memory refreshed thanks to American Idol)

--Perfect selections for drunken karaoke

[B Calm]

59. American Pie, only because the damn song goes on and on and on.

[General Zod]

62. "Ebony and Ivory" by McCartney and Wonder....

Just goes to show you that even legends can suck every once in a while.

2nd place goes to anything by the Captain and Tenille.

[onager]

64. Butt-fly Kisses

Look upon this and let your blood run cold...

There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven and she's Daddy's Little Girl
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes and I thank God for all of the joy in my life
Oh but most of all...

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in hair
"Walk beside the pony Daddy, It's my first ride
I know the cake looks funny Daddy, But I sure tried"

Oh with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night...
Sweet 16 today, she's looking like her momma a little more every day
One part woman the other part girl, to perfume and make-up ribbons and pearls
Trying her wings out in a great big world, but I remember...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"You know how much I love you Daddy
But if you don't mind, I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time...

It goes on, for what seems to be about 5 years. But my gag reflex is only so strong.

From the immortal Bob Carlisle, the Poet Laureate of Wal-Mart. I guess he's immortal, since he's been writing dreck like this forever. He wrote another masterpiece called "On My Knees." It may be about Jesus. Or not.

:evilgrin:

[blue neen]

65. "MacArthur Park" sung by Richard Harris.

Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can Take it!
'cause it took so long to Bake it!
And I'll never have that recipe againnn...
Oh NOOOOOOOO!

What the hell is that song about????

[onager]

66. I think "MacArthur Park" was about Jimmy Webb simulating...

...an acid trip. He wrote it.

It could have been worse. Imagine if Webb's favorite vocal collaborator had sung it: Glen Campbell.

For the morbidly curious, there is a MacArthur Park in Los Angeles, and I guess that's where Webb got the...cough-cough...inspiration.

[blue neen]

67. Speaking of Glen Campbell..

How about "Dreams of the Everyday Housewife?"

"She picks up her apron in little-girl fashion
As something comes into her mind
Slowly starts dancing, remembering her girlhood
And all of the boys she had waiting in line.
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me!"

What a swell guy!

[onager]

69. Somebody needs to remix that...

...with ol' Glen during his Tanya Tucker years...

Such are the dreams of...
"Tanya, open this fucking door or I'm gonna kick it down, you stupid bitch! Did you flush my coke down the shitter again?"

[blue neen]

70. They WERE an awfully exciting couple, weren't they?

Just like watching a trainwreck!

[sharonking21]

68. Old Turkey Buzzard

by Jose Feliciano--was the theme song for a Gregory Peck movie--a western--that was also the worst movie I ever saw.
