the most terrible song of all time

[Meffy]

sells his own cd called, get this,
'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'.

=:-O

Anything by Scooter.

stfu, "move your ass" was awesome for it's time!

[farlukar]

for it's time

Ain't hindsight a great thing

[mandolarian]

Also Terry Jacks 'Seasons in the Sun' Arrrggg!

Just had to mention it again, didn't you? One of the most unnecessary key changes of all time...

And lest we forget 'Where Evil Grows' and 'Which Way You Goin' Billy?

No. Let's forget....Look into the light....

[VicDiesel]

Sir Paul's 'Silly Love Songs' or whatever it's called ranks right up there with the worst!

No it doesn't. Listen to that bass part. I once read in interview with the guy from Brothers Johnson, and he cited that song as one of his shining examples of great bass lines.

ISTR these two were both on "Top of the Pops" (used to listen on BBC North America shortwave service) together for at least one week:

Snooker Loopy -- Chas 'n' Dave

It's 'Orrible Being in Love When You're Eight and a Half -- Claire and Friends

What a lovely pair they make! *cough choke gack*

[The Chase]

WTF
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Around (Like a Record) f**king rules, awesome tune. REALLY AWESOME VIDEO!

agreed

And my friends and I constantly blare out Aqua's "Barbie Girl" with the windows down because that song is awesoem to the max.

[ians]

Hold on! Just got another. Rene and Renata or something. 'Save your love' Have we done that one yet? Some fat bloke with a moustache if I remember.
A no1 I think in the U.K

[Gargoyle]

Ah, but I feel that there's a knowing wink with some of the above mentioned, which means they aren't truly terrible, IMHO.

My candidate: "I just called to say" - Stevie Wonder.

I really think that if anyone else had done this song, they would have been vanquished from the earth. To my ears, it's a truly awfully written and performed song and just so horribly saccharine.

(closely followed by Lionel Richie's "Hello")

Sorry

[GaryG]

Ten pages and no mention of #1 stinker of all:

Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To My Lovely?

"Your name, it is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, a-ha-ha-ha "




heard a mashup on Radio 1 the other day of Axel F and That Annoying Thing... lawd help us all.

[LBN]

Not necessarily the worst song of all time but definitely one of the worst covers of all time: Duran Duran's version of "911 Is A Joke". In fact, most of their covers album "Thank You" falls into the category. Oddly enough I like their version of "White Lines".

[The Chase]

RANK 1 - AIRWAVE

OMG!!!

[Meffy]

My mate opines:

Honey -- Bobby Goldsboro

... and adds that one listener said this song proved Goldsboro could be tapped for sap. While on the subject, we both agree on this one:

Seasons in the Sun -- Terry Jacks

[Dr.Mabuse]

Shiny happy people. Don't remember who was responsible for that one. All I remember is some woman with no talent and a big f**ked up afro looking hairdo, who smiled a lot.

And there was some shite danish outfit with a tune that went something like "I'm not an actor, I'm not a star, and I don't even have my own car"... Where's the Back & Decker when you need it.

Anything by Manic Street Preachers.

Anything by Westlife!!!!
