Worst Song Ever Written

[Kirby]

"Who Let The Dogs Out" by the Baja Men

 

[Outpost4]

Many good suggestions here, but my list is topped by Tell Laura I Love Here.

This over-wrought turkey can't even be saved by an amusing video.

 

[Moocey]

The horror that is "Macarena." There was even a stupid dance move to go with it. It has been plaguing every white-trash wedding ever since.

Macarena was the first song that came to mind, but Nickleback's Rockstar is right up there with it.

 

[M'Sharak]

Does M.C. Hammer's "Can't Touch This" even count as an actual song...?

Only when Rick James did it.

 

[Gepard]

OT, but M'Sharak, what made you decide to go all "WETA steampunk" for your avatar?

 

[Australis]

All of the above, plus anything by 70's British pop band Racey.

 

[Ben Sisko3]

"In the Year 2525,"

This one gets saved by an astonishing use in the second season finale of MillenniuM.

Some very good choices in this thread so far...very good indeed.

 

[Orac Zen]

"Shaddap Ya Face".

 

[Nerys Myk]

"I Write the Songs" sung by Barry Manilow, but written by Bruce Johnston

 

[ITL]

Ooh! Ooh! How about "Don't Worry Kyoko" by Yoko Ono?

Anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about should be grateful....

ARRGHH!!

Sorry. Reading your post made me remember it.

BTW - I was watching a DVD called The Get Back Chronicles the other day - it contains the Let It Be footage plus loads of stuff that never made it to the final cut - some of it showed John, Paul and Ringo having a musical freakout while Yoko basically screamed into a microphone. For about ten minutes.

Not that I heard more than the first ten seconds, as I hit the FF button pretty damn quickly...

 

[Zulu Romeo]

"Shaddap Ya Face".

Seconded, if only for keeping Ultravox's "Vienna" off the #1 spot in the UK. [Mind you, so did "Woman" by John Lennon... - someone] Ah, shaddap ya face!

 

[Roshi]

My Heart Will Go On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on...

 

[RevdKathy]

My Heart Will Go On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on...

Ruined for me by its constant choice to play during funerals. Yeah, I believe that the heart does go on, to. But I don't bloody sing about it!

 

[HappyDayRiot]

Well Rockstar obviously.

 

[TheBrew]

That Rick Roll song.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

That Rick Roll song.

Could be worse...

 

[OdoWanKenobi]

That Rick Roll song.

Could be worse...

How does anyone ever even think to do something like that?

 

[Goji]

It's not like I'm exposed to a lot of awful music, but the song "Toxic" by Britney Spears makes me want to do unspeakable things to my own ears.

Sounds like something amazingly similar to what can be heard on Track 26 of Disc 1 (recorded at the same time as Some Time in New York City.)

I gotta agree. Of course, IMO, everything by her is shit.
