Worst songs ever

[Alex Warfield]

We've seen worst movies, now I want to know what everyone thinx is the worst song(s) ever. Exclude any boy-band songs, because they're all crap. Just think of the one that grtes on your last nerve the most and put it up in here.

Personally, I would have to go with "What's Up" by 4 Non-blondes. That song is still the absolute worst thing I have ever heard, and I imagine Hell consists of staring at naked sumo wrestlers all day while that song plays in a continuous loop for all eternity.

 

[Krokus]

Well

Worst Songs Ever?? Thats Easy. Pretty Much ANY Rap Song Ever Made.

 

[guitman69]

I ususally hate a whole band, instead of just one song they did. I'm not gonna list the bands I hate though, because I'll probably list someones favorite. People can be pretty defensive when you tell them thier favorite band sucks!

 

[TicklingDuo]

Worst songs ever? Here are a few:
"Mr. Roboto"- Styx
"The Stroke" or "Rock Me Tonight"- Billy Squire
"Tainted Love"- Soft Cell
Anything by Culture Club

 

[blankpage]

"Hey Baby" - No Doubt

"I'm A Slave 4 U" - Britney Spears
"Sweet Home Alabama" - Lynyrd Skynyrd
anything by ABBA
"Area Codes" - Ludacris
"Everything Zen" - Bush
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" - Diana Ross & the Supremes
"Gentleman" - Afghan Whigs
anything by Destiny's Child (except "Emotions")
"What a Girl Wants" - Christina Aguilera
"Whenever, Wherever" - Shakira
"In the End" - Linkin Park
"I Will Survive" - Gloria Gaynor
"Spice Up Your Life" - Spice Girls
"Pinball Wizard" - The Who
"Falling Away from Me" - KoRn

I think I'll stop now 😉

 

[Slappy McGee]

any of Shania Twain's songs where she tells guys how much ass they have to kiss if they want to be with her.... which is pretty much all her songs, including "any man of mine" "honey I'm home" "man, I feel like a woman", and several others I forget the name of.... god she irritates me..... do like her slower love songs though, cheesy, but kinda purty. 🙂

 

[Lynchy]

I have this thing about Christmas songs. They just really bug me! They're so corney...

Also, I agree with Blankpage about this new No Doubt song. It REALLY sucks! They used to be pretty good, but seem to have sold out now. I'm sick of bands doing that. the Stereophonics have sold out too, now resorting to a very bad cover version of a very bad Rod Stewart song. Oh, the humanity!

 

[Prime]

Whatever that dawson's creek theme song is....

 

[TicklingDuo]

Yeah, I really hate that Shania Twain song "That Don't Impress Me", where she talks during the choruses. As Chris Jericho might say, "Will you PLEASE Shut the h*ll up!

Drew

 

[Slappy McGee]

YES!

Drew, that was anohter one.... it simply boggles the mind how many times she is going to rehash this same idea in a song..... yes, I get it, she is trying to put on a strong show for women, especially country fans, and set a good example for trailer trash everywhere (just kidding, I like country music), but how much water can you wring out of this damn towel?

she is high on my list of people I would nonconsentually tickle....ooohhh, did I say that!! I'm a meeeeeeeaaann man.

 

[PunkMetalMan01]

Anything on MTV now, any type of pop or rap. Oh and don't forget the Limp Bizkit rage rock crap! And of course country goes without saying.

 

[Dave2112]

Slappy, it's truly AMAZING how much alike we think. That's exactly why I hate Shania Twain! Every song of hers seems to be about how great she is and how you have NO chance with her. I've been saying that forever, and finally someone sees this as well.

Well, I have to respectfully go against the "Mr. Roboto" idea, as I like that tune, and my band still plays it, usually to a great response. I think you have to take it in context with the whole concept album. But, like I said, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and not all music is for everyone.

My personal "Hate" list, and I hope I don't offend anyone, these are just my personal choices...

"Follow Me" -- Uncle Cracker

"Believe" -- Cher

Anything by Shania Twain

I can't think of the artist or title because if it sucks I don't want to know, but it goes like this..."Every morning there's a halo hanging from the corner of my girlfriend's four-post bed"---totally sucks.

Plus, I hate anything where the "artist" takes the easy way out lyrically. If I hear one more rock-and-roll "poet" rhyme "higher" with "fire and desire", I'm gonna puke. Also, the "it's gonna be alright.....tonight.." thing has been done to death.

Worst Song EVER

The Seventies Gave us the Night Of The Living POP-Song...(Kinda like the 50s only without the realism & The Rock n Roll)...& here was done the Real Damage to Music in America...And now, Folks, The Absolute Worst Song EVER. Holy SH*T!...It's a 3 way TIE ........between: "Seasons in the Sun"
"Timothy" (a homage to Canibalism)
And "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"

Let's Stamp Out Stupid Music In Our Lifetime!!
The Bug

 

[Alex Warfield]

Dave, the horrible song you were reffering to is "Every Morning" by Sugar Ray, and I must agree with you, it is quite obnoxious.

 

[Alex Warfield]

Also

Dave, you reminded me of my hate for over-used rhymes in songs, but you left out the most over-used one. "Baby," "Crazy," and "Lady," do not rhyme, no matter how many times you say it. Please come up with something origional!

 

[CitY of MicA]

There are soooooooo many songs that have irritated me over the years, but I've certainly never put my thoughts in writing on this topic. I was reading the other posts, yet I could scarcely come up with one song that really gets under my skin. Most pop over the last 20 years rubs me the wrong way, but I generally suceed in avoiding it and don't really care. However, and I hope I don't offend anyone with this, there is one song that I've strongly disliked for years- Queen's "We are the Champions." How triumphant of them 🙄 . It's good that professional sports teams should sometimes pump this through their sound system after winning a big game; that has to be the height of smugness and poor taste.

 

[TicklingDuo]

Dave, I think the thing with Styx during their whole "Kilroy Was Here" period was the fact that they toured with a show that involved acting and spoken interludes during the concerts.
Anyway, can't forget "Billy,Don't Be a Hero" or "Let Her In" by John Travolta. Wonder if this list includes rock band disco crossovers.(Kiss-"I Was Made For Loving You", Wings-"Don't Say Goodnight")

Drew

 

[TicklingIsLife]

Anything from Macy Gray

 

[Mimi]

Hmmmm...topping my list would be anything by Christina Aguillera.

Others that come to mind are:

Slave 4 U - Britney Spears (usually like her, but if this song is an example of her own material, she should go back to singing songs written for her by others.)

Nookie - Limp Bizkit (usually like them too, but that song just bites me in the a$$.)

Standing Still - Jewel (one word....GAG)

Sea Of Love - The Honeydrippers (he went from Led Zepplin to THAT?!)

And since I can't think of any more direct songs right now, the list would top off with just about anything by Paul Simon (snore city), and EVERYTHING by Bruce Hornsby and The Range!!! EWWWW!

Mimi

 

[kurchatovium]

1)"Puberty Love" used in the movie "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"
2) "Push the Little Daisies and Make Them Come Up" by Ween
3) "Mommy's Arms" by Mary Hart
4) Anything by Kathy Lee Gifford
5) Anything by Barry Manilow

 

[red indian]

I my god! I aggree with krokus!!

But you have to love those gorgeous black girls in the videos!

To nominate one song is tough, but it has to be Whitney Houston singing "I will always love you" with its irritating, banal, monotonous C/Am/Dm/G7 chord sequence and her "how many stupid, unneccesary vocal warblings can i fit in to one syllable" style of singing.

 

[guitman69]

Plus, I hate anything where the "artist" takes the easy way out lyrically. If I hear one more rock-and-roll "poet" rhyme "higher" with "fire and desire", I'm gonna puke. Also, the "it's gonna be alright.....tonight.." thing has been done to death.

I was working with this guy who wanted me to help him with some songs. He SAID he could write lyrics, but needed help with the music. Every damn line he came up with rhymed with either "you" or "me". I was ready to beat the hell out of him. I ended up writing more lyrics than he did.

He did come up with an intersting rhyme though. We were working on a different song. We recorded all the music and when it came time for him to record the vocals, we discovered he was half a verse short on lyrics. He told me "Don't worry man, I'll come up with something." So I just let the tape run and he came up with this:

"I see you sitting pretty over there
Come with me, I'll by you new underware"

I turned around to the other two guys in the contol room with me and said, "Did he just say that?" and then we all died laughing. Just one of the many times that I was glad that I don't have a window between the studio and control room.

 

[CurtWild]

i hate any song where the singer uses that shit to make there voice sound computerized or robotic....example:that damn cher song,i think it`s believe..but i`m not sure.everytime i here something like that my urge to kill rises

the friends song
any shaggy song

 

[General Zod]

Anybody remember Don't worry Be happy? I still hate that song Also don't like Jingle bell rock,Rockin around the christmas tree and Holly jolly christmas Does anybody besides me think that Christmas music should be outlawed until one week before Christmas? I hate hearing it the day after Thanksgiving Yes the Grinch is my hero-before he went good

 

[guitman69]

i hate any song where the singer uses that shit to make there voice sound computerized or robotic....example:that damn cher song,i think it`s believe..but i`m not sure.everytime i here something like that my urge to kill rises

For anyone interested, that effect was from a Pro-Tools plug-in called Auto Tune. It's made by a company called Antares. It's supposed to be used to fix pitch problems with a vocal track. But if you put the sensetivity up to high, you get an effect like in that Cher song.

I agree with you Zod about the Christmas music. But we also need to pass a law that stores can't start selling Christmas decorations until atleast the middle of November. I went into a department store to buy Halloween decorations, and they already had those stupid robotic dancing Santas.
