the most terrible song of all time

[ew]

Frank Sinatra's cover of "Something"...
ew

[SongMonkey]

Yup. Any Beatle tune covered by Frank is the pits. I did, however, have the chance to see him live a few years ago (when he was not dead) and though I was not a fan before, he absolutely knocked my fukkin socks off. I don't believe a person can really get what Frank was all about through the recordings -- great though some of them may be (see the Nelson Riddle arrangements). But live he was one of best acts I ever expect to see in my life. It was absolutely magical and thrilling. And I'm an old rocker. Weird, huh?

Cheers.

Oops! I just broke own of my own rules.

I normally try not to denounce someone else's work as being intrinsically inferior, simply because it doesn't suit my personal taste at the time. So, let's just say that Whitney's performance of that song didn't suit my personal taste--in the extreme.

You know, I applaud this sentiment and agree with it wholeheartedly.

Nonetheless, evil is evil. And as long as Cher and her ilk continue to fill stadiums, it is someones moral duty to denounce them and their evil progeny.

What a thread! Dunno about worst song -Mull of Kintyre comes to mind, just now especially where the bagpipes drone in. Madonna? " hey Mr DJ , put a record on I wanna dance with my bay-be"

But worst lyrics? There was song from the sixties that went "yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy".

And how about " what do you get when you fall in love - you get enough germs to catch pneumonia. After you do, he'll never phone ya - ai ee ai'll never fall in luv again, eh eh en" .

Or McCartney again "in this ever changing world in which we live in".

Or "I went to a the dessert on a horse with no name, it felt good to be out of the rain. for there aint no one there to give you no pain. ahh ah ah, a a aha ah ahh"

Thats it, thats the one, Cringeworthingly awful

"locomotion", kylie-version

[Meffy]

The worst song ever written is a "The Weather Channel"-based Neil Young pastiche I wrote but have never unleashed on the world. It's like plague bacteria safely contained in flasks in a vault in a locked laboratory. You're all safe. Really. Please go about your lives as if this song did not exist.

oh - what happened to stock/aitken/waterman by the way?

[hello1234]

don't worry.......dodo....dodo..........be happy.....................

[isdjan]

can bad cover versions considered to be the "most terrible song"?
if so: "country roads" by the hermes house band.

[origami]

Abba's 'Thank you for the Music'
Beatles' 'Obladi Oblada'

[finnbio]

It's got to be Eric Prydz's rape of Steve Winwood's "Call on me".

If you can call the Prydz version a song..
Cheers
