Brad Paisley - We Danced

It is terrible.

Jess 07-22-2004 12:56 AM

How can "Horse with no Name" by America not be on this list?

"Two of Hearts" by Stacey Q. It remains my lifelong mission to find her, tie her down and make her listen to that song over and over until she either admits it is the worst and most annoying abuse of notes in history or gnaws her own ears off so she won't have to listen to it any longer. Either one would prove my point.

"my heart will go on" by Celine Dion.

Crappy song, crappy singer, terrible movie.

Oooh, that was painful.

" i think we're alone now" ? (is that the title?).

Tiffany (teenager)

jbripps 07-22-2004 08:23 AM

Yes, that's the correct title, not by Debbie Gibson (oops SVON).

Sorry, but here's two......Billy Idol's "Mony Mony" and Romatics "What I like about you" and most of their other stuff too. YUCK>>>

" The Pina Colada song" Rupert Holmes!

"Afternoon Delight", Starland Vocal Band

badcar 07-22-2004 08:47 AM

That "Barbie girl" song...and anything by any boy band ever.

techweenie 07-22-2004 08:48 AM

VINMAN, I love your avatar! Where is it from? It kinda seems like something from Office Space.

Oh, and I'll add that 'Afternoon Delight' is great in Anchorman.

nostatic 07-22-2004 08:49 AM

Some of you guys are naming a number of my "guilty pleasure" songs. Feelings? Morris Albert is a genius! Afternoon Delight? SVB was the next Beatles, just nobody knew it (likely for good reasons).

Toss-off pop songs to me don't qualify as worst of all time since they accomplish what they set out to do....be annoying pop ditties. To me the really offensive songs are those where the artist/band thinks they are being deep and/or original. "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi comes to mind. The first time I heard it, I thought it was a joke..."even Spinal Tap wouldn't be so formulaic".

more later on this breaking story...

JavaBrewer 07-22-2004 08:51 AM

"Happy Shinny People" - REM

Yeah, Its from Office Space. When he was busting up the copier.

I didnt see Anchoman yet, but i remember that freakin song growing up! they played it over and over. god it was horriblehttp://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/puke.gif

Vinman, you beet me to it. "Afternoon Delight", by the Starland Vocal Band. I have to admit it’s one of those songs you either love it or hate it. Oddly enough it’s among the favorite songs of my wife and me (especially odd if you consider our taste in music). We don’t know anyone else that likes it.

All time worst song in any category has to be “It’s a small world”!

lendaddy 07-22-2004 09:34 AM

I thought VINMAN's avatar was from "Falling Down", the scene in the park with the hoods. Great movie!

To the contrary, alot of people knew. Granted, they were seriously misguided people, but some of them were regrettably also Grammy voters who bestowed the "Best New Artist" award to SVB in '76 or '77. (And to think some claim the Grammies are irrelevant...) As I recall, the multifaceted SVB even had their own TV show for a brief period.

But, since SVB has been taken, I would nominate virtually anything by Toby Keith. Not merely annoying, but calculatedly and consistently stupid as well. Thats a rare gift.

Anything and I mean anything from ABBA.

I would rather put a stick in my eye than listen to them.

"I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.

If that song were played a few times over and over to Iraqi prisioners, I'm SURE numerous international laws would be violated. That song is capable of causing intense physical and psychological pain. Even worse than a dog collar!

no doubt! it's the quintessential "i'm already boinking someone else, but there'll never be anyone as special as you" song

One of the local stations in NJ, NJ101.5 , plays "Dancing Queen" about 200 times on the weekends. Sometimes i think its the only record they have. It's enough to make you stick sharp objects in your ears!

Jeff 07-22-2004 11:18 AM

Didn't Don Johnson have a truely wonderful song that got air time back in his Miami Vice days? Speaking of Miami Vice his side kick was one of the BEST actors I've ever seen!:rolleyes:

"We built this city" That was a looooong miserable summer:(

mattdavis11 07-22-2004 11:57 AM

"She bangs" by William Hung. :D Or anything else for that matter.

vash 07-22-2004 11:57 AM

ok, what about that effen musical trainwreck from eddie murphy? "my girl just wants to party all the time". i wished i was deaf.

donk 07-22-2004 12:00 PM

Speaking of celebs that tried their hand in the music biz, lets not forget about Eddie Murphy's smash hit Party All The Time. Man, that was awful.

Muskrat Love (Captain and Tennile) is a terrible rendition, but the original (entitled Muskrat Candlelight) by Willis Alan Ramsey was a good song.

donk 07-22-2004 12:01 PM

damn vash, you are too quick

I've never heard of this guy (actually I found this pic on this forum), but I'd be willing to wager that anything on this album is pure crap.

Does this album include "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"?

Or how about that other Star Trek alum, Bill Shatner, doing "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Makes your skin crawl.

And I stand by my Sister Christian vote. Find something redeaming in these lyrics, I dare you;

Sister Christian
Oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one
To say O.K.
Where you going
What you looking for
You know those boys
Don't want to play no more with you
It's true

You're motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight

Babe you know
You're growing up so fast
And mama's worrying
That you won't last
To say let's play
Sister Christian
There's so much in life Don't you give it up
Before your time is due
It's true
It's true yeah

Motoring
What's your price for flight
You've got him in your sight
And driving thru the night
Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight

Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
You'll be alright tonight
(repeat)

Sister Christian
Oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one
To say O.K.
But you're motoring
You're motoring

Ray Stevens.

More fine material though. Anything that shows up on Dr. Demento is OK by me.

Now, back to the *really* bad stuff. How about some Night Ranger?

Icemaster 07-22-2004 03:48 PM

Night Ranger, wish I could forget them.

Asia - remember them? Defined the term "suck"

doh! I knew that song was in my head for a reason...

Asia "Heat of the Moment" is another contender (as vash pointed out). The 80's were full of pompous bands...to me *that* is the ultimate in crapulence.

Typical Fish 07-22-2004 05:22 PM

"Total Eclipse Of The Heart"...

or:

"Rain"... (The "saw my old lover in a grocery store on Christmas Eve" song)

I hate to say this, but I want to hit the gay guy in the B-52's with a fireplace poker if I hear him ever say "LLLLLove Shack Baaaaby!" again!

elwood-914 07-22-2004 07:05 PM

Hey! What about "Like a Virgin" By Madona? BAD,BAD. Pitooie.....:( :( :( :( :( :(

Moneyguy1 07-22-2004 07:14 PM

Don't know if I missed this one but "McArthur Park" has always been one that set my hackles on edge............

WHo gives a rat's pattotie if the cake is in the rain?

Call me a commy bastard but my vote goes to
Lee Greenwood
Proud to be an American

It came out when I was in AF tech school & the dip **** in the room next to me went off base, bought the loudest stereo he could afford at one of those rent to own rip off stores & proceeded to play it over & over for the next two months. A close second would be Motley Crue Home Sweet Home, the other song he played.
