Shitty songs of the past

Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)

Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)

"You Light Up My Life."

You light up my joint

How this made it to #6 on the Billboard chart, I’ll never know.

Shiteous awful song

Is anyone else having trouble with YoTube this evening? It starts to load and then hangs.

This shit

I mean come on...

This thread will end in tears

Look at the comments. My God, who can LIKE this?

Anything involving rap.

I always hated Billy Don't Be A Hero by Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods or Paper Lace (pick your poison there). Gawd, I loathed that song!!! I did not post it because I would not want to subject it to anyone whose ears have not already been raped by it over the decades. Another horrid one was Playground in My Mind by Clint Holmes. I was eight years old when both of those came out and really hated them! I think Playground in My Mind was worse than Billy Don't Be A Hero though.

Terrible pop songs, which became big hits, totally proves the average American has no taste, they basically have shit for brains.

Disco Duck - Rick Dees, I've Never Been To Me - Charlene, Royals - Lorde, Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus, Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band, I Love - Tom T. Hall, Shake Your Groove Thing - Peaches & Herb, Ebony & Ivory - McCartney & Wonder, Telephone Man - Merilee Wilson, The War Song - Culture Club, Let's Put The X in Sex - Kiss (a band I love, a song I hate), New York New York - Liza or Frank, If You Leave Me Now - Chicago, We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel, Love Touch - Rod Stewart, Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks, and a contender for the all-time worst, Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me) by Reunion!!!! Barf!

(Push, Push) In The Bush by Musique

This afflicted me as a child.

What?!???

R17, I had nightmares about that one too.

Bobby Goldsboro - Honey

Ewwwww, R19. That one is so bad that I had deleted it from my memory banks. Ugh! That's BAAAADDDD!

[quote]Terrible pop songs, which became big hits, totally proves the average American has no taste, they basically have shit for brains.

This was #1 in France for 15 weeks in 1992

#1 in the UK for 2 weeks in early 1982

This atrocity by Alicia Keys...

That Butterfly Kisses bullshit from the goddamned '90s. What a piece of shit!

Fernando by ABBA

OP - this thread is hilarious. Thank you.

R5 I'm gonna do you better.....

Let's play a game: Find a cover version of a song already posted that's even worse!!!......

R13 I love Paper Lace

Anyone remember this ?

Better than The Pointer Sisters....

We built this city

Cotton eye Joe

That "She's Homeless" song reminded me of another around the same time- Anyone remember the one with the woman singing something like "Remember me. I'm the horse that had you baby" ?

Anything from lady caca

Not only do I remember it R33, I bought it! My early 70s singles purchases were eclectic shall we say: Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep, Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me) and My Sweet Lord are a few that I recall.

As long as it is uncut and presenting hole, no song is terrible.

A terrible song, made worse by its casual homophobia.

[quote]"You Light Up My Life."

You somma bitch.

Rock DJ - Robbie Williams

Spin Doctors—Two Princes

Semisonic—Closing Time

Heart—All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You

Hilarious. I knew that most of the songs in this thread would be the OPPOSITE of shitty...and I was right. DL NEVER fails in that regard.

Thanks to playing R36, I've just walked down to the local store and back singing a song about the clap. I did not know this until I got back to check the lyrics. Seems it's not a cowboy who wouldn't have realised he was gay except for a hot mysterious guy nicknamed Cotton Eye Joe but about a plague of STDs that swept through the local women , making them all run away, leaving town so people wouldn't know they'd been rooting around 'outside of marriage'.

Me and Mrs. Jones - Billy Paul. Absolutely crappy.

Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks! I hated this song!!!

Anything by that wretch Barbra Streisand.

Anything by Celine Dion especially that Titanic song

This stinkbomb is in the hall of fame

R52 A gay classic now

R8 when I worked in radio a minister called the Program Director, demanding we stop playing the song because it promoted fornication. We still played it.

Plastic Bertrand's song "Ça Plane Pour Moi", was great! The song was super campy and the guitar break was a homage to American surf music.

So many of you posting are so damn fucking clueless it's laughable!

Almost 800 million views. One of the most watched youtube videos for songs before 2000. People seem convinced this song is a classic--it's shit.

Gary Puckett and Union Gap- ‘Young Girl.’

ode to pedophilia.

The 90s

The song that proved the 90s "alternative" scene was all fizzled out.

We got "Young Girl." We were aware. Not dumb asses like today's hot house flowers.

Conga - Miami Sound Machine

Two of Hearts - Stacy Q

Cherry Pie - Warrant

I Want Action - Poison

Boyz R Gonna Rock - Vinnie Vincent Invasion

Barbie Girl - Aqua

To Hell With The Devil - Stryper

Party All The Time - Eddie "Asshole" Murphy

Lawyers In Love - Jackson Browne

Somebody's Baby - Jackson Browne

Boom, Boom (Let's Go Back To My Room) - Paul Lekakis

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - Wham!

Star Trekkin' - The Firm

Rumors - Timex Social Club

Shake Your Love - Debbie Gibson

Don't Worry, Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin

The Goonies R Good Enough - Cyndi Lauper

Anyone remember this atrocity?

^^GREAT song!

Tells a sad story, too.

Loved it, r33. Can anybody post Brenda Lee's Windy?

This, r64?

Woo Hoo by 5678. The worst pile of shit EVER!!!!!

Thanks, r65. The undisputed record holder.

1973 called... it NEVER wants this pile of shit back!

One Bad Apple don’t spoil the whole bunch, gurl...

R69 This is funner

At her worst

Not a shitty song. Just a shitty performance.

Hilariously Shitty!!!

Heartbeat - Don Johnson. A time when all these actors thought they were hot singers. Murphy, Swayze, Willis, all crap.

Disco Duck!

No list of shitty songs is complete without this travesty from 1976.

Don’t forget Tubbs R75

Minnie had a beautiful voice, but I always cringed when this song was played on the radio.

It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me.

BARF!!!!!!!!!

This one even gave E.T. the shits!

Thriller may have sold a jillion copies, but this song sucked swamp water!!!

I missh thoshe Shitty Lightsh,

Thoshe shparkling Shitty Lightsh,

Thoshe twinkling Shitty Lightsh,

Blurring my eyesh!

Carpenters - Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft

Chickasaw Ridge and a body flung off the bridge

I was a massive Alice Cooper fan in my childhood... until this piece of crap KILLED it for me. This song (and the Lace and Whiskey album it came from) made me immediately jump ship. Alice ruled between 1970 and 1974. This was pure garbage!!! It sounded like a '70s airline commercial.

R86 knows nothing.

Oops, I almost forgot to post it. This is the shitty Alice Cooper song...

"Ode to Billie Joe" has no place on a shitty songs thread!

I also like R85. This version too.

R78 - Nice one! So bad I must have erased it from memory

I’m sorry, but are we even on planet earth with this sad display?

And Jennifer Juniper

Gawd Awful!

'Nuff said!

I'm no sure if this is really shitty. Maybe a decent disco diva could have saved it, but "disco diva" does not describe Anson Williams.

A huge hit in its day--unbelievably.

The shittiest song of the 90s

Camp classic.

PICK UP THAT FUCKING PHONE!!!

I did it better, Anson. This was number 1 for 42 weeks in 1982 (in HELL!!!!!).

Boogie down, bitches!

I'll cut a bitch if they mention this one. I worked my ass off recording this! Don't you bitches dare!!!!

What a fox!!! I think I'm in love.

Memorable for its eeriness despite its shittiness.

DeFranco Family Abra-Ca-Dabra

I'm so into the dance I can't stand it!

Yes, someone could actually mutilate Time in a Bottle!!!!

America's Sweethearts!

One of the great love songs of the 20th Century!

Fly robin fly

R17 r18 what's wrong with you?

Tell me WHATTT, WHATTT, WHATTT, WHATTT's on your mind!

Boring and whiny

I loved The Who, but this song was beyond putrid!

This.

Pure vomit. You just know someone had to explain to him what the word means, and to this day, I doubt he can spell it.

THIS THREAD IS CLEARLY INFESTED WITH ST8 CUNTS AND FAT ASS FRAU! SOME OF THESE SONGS ARE GAY CLASSICS!

Kelly Marie - Feels like I'm in love 1980. So bad, it's fabulous. I love when she does a high kick and is like, nailed it!

[quote]THIS THREAD IS CLEARLY INFESTED WITH STR8 CUNTS AND FAT ASS FRAU

It's beginning to look that way.

Is it wrong I'm loving reliving some of these songs.

I renounce anyone who doesn't love a good ole Helen Reddy tearjerker.

She likes to party all the time!

R116 What?! That song is a fucking bop! Same with Humpin’ Around

This one

R117, I resent that remark. I am nowhere near straight and absolutely not a "frau"

I have loved the dick all of my life and I really dislike a lot of these crappy songs!

[quote]This thread will end in tears

This thread started in tears, bish.

Frau anthem!

What, you asked for more Donny and Marie?

I cannot for the life of me picture too many of these songs being "gay classics" - Songs like Playground in My Mind, Donny & Marie, Kristy & Jimmy, Billy Don't Be A Hero, The Girl is Mine, Scott Baio, Anson Williams, Travolta's Let Her In, etc. could never be called gay classics!

Maya Rudolph's mom shows the wonders of the whistle register.

Hey Billy Don't be a Hero made a grand entrance in Priscilla.

[quote]—Taste is DEAD!!!

Bobby Brown & his fans killed it.

A "gay classic", circa 1980... LOL.

We hard to learn the choreography to this in PE

Sweet & Innocent by Donny

I like Madonna, but

Wonder Woman Goes Metal!!!!!

It's decided: the osmonds are the source of pretty much all evil in the world of music.

[Quote] I resent that remark.

Keep on resenting Fraucunt / r125!

There might be some sexual innuendo in this hit song from 1977... I'm not sure...

A sister gets funky!

I always liked this one.

Even Donny refuses to sing this anymore... and it was one of their hits.

Piece. Of. Garbage.

Kool & The Gang's original was okay, but Eric took it to the next level of awesome!

Anything by Sugar Ray.

Marie's version was better but I couldn't find it so I posted this inferior version.

This is my favorite cover ever, by Tampa public access TV's own Sondra Prill.

She really brings out the true beauty of this song.

Bad puppy

Earth, Wind & Fire... eat your hearts out!!! Doin' it the way it should be done!

There was good disco, there was bad disco... and there was this shit! Some hot male eye candy in this video though.

The unofficial anthem of the 1990-1 Gulf War!

Pure poop! Worst song of the 21st Century, thus far. This is easily the most irritating song I have heard in the last 20 years!!!

I’m surprise Adele is not mentioned

H-O-R-R-I-D ! ! !

Let's boogie with the Queen of Disco...Ethel!!!

LOL.

seriously, r156, fuckin seriously?

SPOCK ROCKS!!!!

William Shatner "Rocket Man"

oh shit, Arlo's going under that bus? Really? Arlo?

This is madness, people, madness.

Dear Jermain...er, Michael

Some early MTV garbage by the Burning Sensations.

Wretch Hard.

Get this one stuck in your head!

Grab yer barf bucket.

r104, I love "Tonight You Belong to Me."

[quote]SOME OF THESE SONGS ARE GAY CLASSICS!

Which ones, r117?

She’s Like The Wind wasn't a bad song, Patrick Swayze just isn't/wasn't a great singer.

There are some shit songs on this thread, quite a lot of them, but Rock the Boat, I Touch Myself, Delta Dawn, Ode to Billie Joe, Alice's Restaurant and Ca Plane Pour Moi are all, to varying degree, good songs. Donnie and Marie and Debby Boone on the other hand ...

This one really sucked.

Je T'aime. Whispering is sexy.

The Thong Song

Elvira by The Oak Ridge Boys

I like that song, r124. Love the Divinyls.

It was great hearing "I Touch Myself" on the radio. It put some people in a tizzy.

The wet cake song. Why would anyone ever, write lyrics as painful as:

"Someone left the cake out in the rain,

I don't think that I can take it,

because it took so long to bake it,

and I'll never have that recipe agaaaaaain...Oh nooooo!".

Jimmy Webb said seeing the cake left out in the rain was reportage.

Hold my hand by hootie and he blowfish blows!

The Pushbike Song.

99 Luft Balloons; Just Another Manic Monday; Tie A Yellow Ribbon...; Walk Like An Egyptian... hundreds more

9,999,999 tears

Skeeter Davis - End of the world

Anything by Manet Jackson.

She has some good songs

I used to torment my brother by playing that Star Trekkin' song. He was a huge sci-fi nerd and HATED that song.

Speaking of annoying novelty songs a little of this went a long way.

R153, the beat of "Royals" is the same beat of a porn clip I saw 14 years ago.

Achy Breaky Heart

Sorry Meat. I love you, but I can’t do this song.

2002's My Neck, My Back is just an embarrassment.

What a cunt!!!! I hated this song long before she revealed her true colors in the late '70s!

R192, if you read the lyrics out loud, if you replace the word "pussy" with the word "weasel", the song becomes kind of funny.

This one irritated the shit out of me back in the summer of 1982.

Where to begin!

I loved a lot of metal in the '80s, but in1984, "See You in Hell" by Grim Reaper seemed more Spinal Tap than Spinal Tap did. Shrill vocals, bad wigs, spandex on bears. All that was missing was a miniature Stonehenge lowering onto the stage. This was atrocious!

NOT ENOUGH BILLY JOEL UP IN HERE FOLKS

WTH (sorry)

Novelty songs, by nature, are generally garbage. This one, from 1981 (during the height of General Hospital mania), really shat the bed.

Smokey Robinson, phone home! This was a horrid Post-Robinson song by the formerly great Miracles.

Put on your boogie shoes, bitches!

R201 WHAT?! That’s a classic!

Sorcery!!! A great song butchered...

Eternal Flame

The Fonz shits on The King! What's even stupider... Elvis did not dress like that in the '50s/early '60s. Just really bad all around.

R204 Classic trash

Revolta strikes again with "Greased Lightning"

Just to prove that bad songs have been around, here is one from the 1920s. (Note: she isn't really talking about hotdogs.)

It doesn't get any worse than The Blackeyed Peas' "My Humps"!!!

The worst

This shit was all over the TV for a minute

More 90s sht

This was on the radio every 20 minutes when I was in 6th grade

Mmmm mmmm

This one is the companion piece to the Green Jelly above

I kinda liked that song.

Pure shit

How about this piece of work from hillbilly hell!

NOOKIE (but LIVE)

e220 that is ART

Though my hatred for Phil Collins' music has abated through the passage of time, I will never forgive him for that awful "Sussudio."

R201, Harper Valley PTA is the Datalounge in song.

You crazy.

"I'm No Angel," by Mr. Gregg Allman. (NBC has taken down videos of the SNL skit with pregnant Amy Poehler getting picked up in a bar.)

Alllll the single ladies, alll the single ladies, alll the single ladies, all the single ladies

And equally bad:

Po Po Po Poker face, Po Po Po fuck her face

....

What was that horrible song from that moronic Billy Jack movie?

It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay.

The absolute worst is the poka poka poka poka face barf complete shit from lady Caca

Europe -The Final Countdown ——-da da dooooo da da doot doot doooo

My asshole!

^^^^^ the DL has been declared officially dead.

R230, do you mean this nasty little earworm from 1971?

"One Tin Soldier" by Coven

Yes, putrid song from a putrid movie (but younger Tom Laughlin was hot!).

I've heard worse than this one, but back in early 1979 I hated it with a passion because my sister played the 45 over and over and over and over. It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. This song sent me over to close my bedroom door to muffle the sound. I put on my big '70s headphones and cranked up Van Halen, The Cars, Blondie, Styx, and Queen to cover the sound of this song!

This song was the scourge of MTV in late 1982/early 1983. It was even worse than Mickey... by a long shot. Ladies & gentlemen, enjoy Toni Basil's ode to the joys of shopping (a to z). Yuck!

I'll post it... so you don't have to. Pure dreck from the year 1990!

R93 I agree with your choice. However, it was used quite effectively in Alexander Payne's "Election". Great movie!!

They had a shit ton of crappy songs - this was the worst.

Find of the decade! R107 wins the prize!

R107, R243, I wish I could have time in a bottle.

I was always a huge Blondie/Deborah Harry fan, but in 1986 she really shit the bed with this bland piece of garbage. This horrible song does not showcase any of her talent or charisma. A real dog. French Kissin' in the USA, my ass!

Shaun Cassidy had a cute little ass and I would have drilled it all night long, but this light weight fluff was not even close to being "rock 'n' roll" - a nasty little earworm from 1977.

I was a big Styx fan from the mid-seventies through the very early eighties. By 1984, they were very much done! This song, "Music Time", stuck a fork in 'em. They were done! I saw this when it debuted on MTV that spring and a little part of me died.

The epitome of "hetero blandness" Almost every straight guy in my high school was obsessed with this goddamn song and the crappy Springsteen rip-off album it came from. I cringe every time I hear this one. I don't think I have ever hated a song more than this one.

Jack and Diane by John Cougar (as he was still known then)

^^^^ yep, horrible song R248

Pure dreck.

Shitty song and the reason why we have Miley

An almost jawdropping cover.

Every Beyonce song post 2008

R255 she has like one decent song

Everything about this is pathetic. And so very very long and boring

R212, every time I go to CVS they’re playing Wilson Phillips. What the fuck? I’m going to start emailing corporate.

Don't Cry Out Loud

This.

Float on

The Broadway musical South Pacific has 2 shitty songs - Happy Talk, and Dites-moi. For shame, Rodgers and Hammerstein.

This little racist gem, Aneka's 'Japanese Boy'.

Bump.

Taylor Swift’s Shake it off

OKAY. That’s IT. I've shown incredible restraint but R124, R212, and R257? You’ve ALL crossed THE motherfucking line. Where the FUCK do you people live?

...Time to start cracking skulls.

I realize that this song was recorded for a good cause (and as a celebrity vanity project), but that does not excuse the fact the it was the equivalent of vomit on vinyl. An absolutely dreadful song... those hungry children deserved FAR better than this sewage. "We Are The World" sucked!!!!

HEY R269?

We ARE the world.

Yes, R270. But every copy of that song should be put into a capsule and shot out into space, where, hopefully, it will never be heard again.

R251, President Obama appears in that horrible Tag Team video.

It seems that posters don't get the difference between a shitty song and a song that one simply does not like. Also, a bad performance of a song does not make a shitty song (though the Maureen McCormick "Time in a Bottle" is certainly the shittiest of shitty performances of any song). Also, a genre that you do not like, e.g., bubblegum rock/pop, dance music does not make a song shitty. The song is perfect for the intended audience. There was a time that all a song needed was "nice beat; easy to dance to".

Dixie Chicks (entire catalog)

Did you listen to their 'entire catalog' R274, that is, all eight albums, in order to be qualified to proclaim it all as 'shitty'? Seems somewhat masochistic. Or political.

I've listened to most of their shit because I had a horrible bf that made me listen to their caterwauling, goat-voiced shit.

Fair enough R276, fair enough. Can I assume you generally dislike country music, in all its forms? I love country but not the DC's all that much bar a couple of songs as they are a bit too slick and I (mostly) prefer my country to be rawer and a bit more 'alt'.

I would agree with R268 if he weren’t defending Wilson Phillips. They fucking suck!

Remember when this song was everywhere?

Maudlin sap at its worst! I give you 1976's "Shannon" by Henry Gross.

Brand New Key by Melanie has always been like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

The deightful Shaggs with Who Are Parents?

Melanie was raping our ears three years before Brand New Key with the ear-piercing Bo Bo's Party. When this was released, dogs for miles around howled in agony.

Almost 300 posts in and no mention of this abomination?

Not a single mention of "Used To Be My Playground"???? One of the genuinely intolerable songs.

R284, I'll see you "Longer" and raise you with the even more abominable "Leader of the Maudlin Band"

Around late 1975/early 1976, my parents used to play this crappy song in the car. They both loved it. Beyond awful.

The George Baker Selection's "Una Paloma Blanca"

The Spin Doctors were the equivalent of musical diarrhea.

The ever-enchanting Toilet Stool Rap.

"Emotional Rescue." Mick trying to do falsetto. Beyond embarrassing. "Coming Up" by Paul McCartney. A dipshit of a song. His "My Love." Ditto. John & Yoko's "Woman Is the Nigger of the World." The song no one was waiting for. Blessedly forgotten (though not by everyone). "American Pie." Stupidly clever and ENDLESS.

R290, I hated Emotional Rescue the first few times I heard it back in 1980, but it eventually grew on me. Granted, it's no Gimme Shelter, but it isn't quite as bad as My Love, Coming Up, the dreadful American Pie, or that caterwauling Yoko thing.

MATTHEW WILDER BREAK MY STRIDE

Kung Fu Fighting. I refuse to believe it is a real song. I think Senegal executives time travel back to the 70s to make the worlds shittiest song to sell shitty kids movies

The Candy Man - Sammy Davis, Jr.

Oh, it was real, R293. A REAL NIGHTMARE!

I love this version of Paloma Blanca. The blond dancer seems a little too used to being tossed around.

This bitch coulda been a star! A STAR I TELL YOU!!! Madonna stole her career.

There has been no worse song in history that The Lumberjack. There has been no band in history worse than Jackyl. They were a horrifyingly terrible supposed hard rock band from the early '90s. Excrement, I tell you. Worse than Green Jelly. Worse than Ugly Kid Joe. Worse than the Shaggs!

It's pretty bad when you remember most of these songs, but worse when you think, "hey R103, I have that LP somewhere in my collection, along with Rex Smiths - Sooner or Later".

R299, here's a lip-sync performance of it for you. Dreadful song, but I would have definitely done him. He was hot.

No one's included this classic yet?

You take my breath away and True from Spandau Ballet reminds me of the same song.

Walking in memphis sucks ass and of course Facebook deciced to make a commercial with a bunch of poc singing that shitty song.

R290 I think McCartney's phenomenal post-Beatles success has made him an easy target for haters. Granted, all his songs being light as a feather doesn't help, but the public loved them . Sometimes it seems like With A Little Luck, Listen To What The Man Said and Silly Love Songs were all the same tune. That being said, he did have the occasional gem like Maybe I'm Amazed (studio version only!), and I must confess to liking Coming Up (live version only!).

One song I could never get the popularity of was Diana Ross' "Love Hangover". It's not even a real song, just an opening verse, with some mumbling, laughing and trailing off. It's horrible.

My god, I hate Dan Fogelberg, especially his soul crushing holiday song. It just pisses me off.

This will be blasphemy to some people, but I didn't understand the hype for Kate Bush's songs like Running Up That Hill or Cloudbusting or Wuthering Heights. They're not necessarily shitty, just kinda meh for me.

This must be somewhere near the bottom of the barrel.

This is spectacularly awful but is it old enough to be considered "of the past"?

Kung Fu Fighting is a fucking great song. You people are nuts.

R308 The first CD I ever bought! Memories!

Tubthumping by Chumbawamba. Urghhhh, the ultimate piss head song. Painful!

[quote]I love Paper Lace

Still love Paper Lace, R13?

Yeah Kung Fu Fighting is tops as is Harper Valley PTA.

'Now it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon And they were sure surprised when Mrs Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room'.

With all of Mrs Johnson's 'drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild' she should be a DL icon.

Split Enz - I Hope I Never.

R298

Sorry, Whitney

Hey R311, pissheids need love too.

Macarena

Mambo No. 5

This crap

R61 Two Of Hearts was awful!!! We were teenaged when it came out and my best friend called it Two Hot Farts

Can you believe this epic tub of aural diarrhea by PowerSource reached #61 on the Hot 100?!?? Nothing like a child abuse anthem to get the party goin’!!!!

Haha I love that Palermo Blanco ( r296) clip . Truly awful. Reminded me instantly of these groovy young things, and their white hot sexy moves. Check out the sound of the future- Moog synth-pop!

R323, and the breast and ass shots aren't creepy at all.

Many songs in praise of rock'n'roll are unbearable...I think of Billy Joel's "It's Still Rock'n'Roll To Me," Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock'n'Roll." And of course the Starship's egregious effort, always in the Top 10 of horrible songs. Even the Stones' "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" expresses a really lame sentiment--"but I like it!" Yeah. Wow.

i concur r325. add ac/dc you shook me all night long to the list.

Anything by Katy Perry

Billy Joel - The longest time, My life

Most accapellas

Anything, absolutely ANYTHING by Billy Joel.

Don't these threads always logically end there?

SHIT.

Just to be contrary, like Mary, there are two Billy Joel songs I like. That's not many from a 40+ year career I know but I think Stop in Nevada and Say Goodbye to Hollywood are good songs.

R329 here. Billy Joel had more good songs than bad ones.

If he never did anything but "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant", that would be enough.But he had many great songs like Ballad of Billy the Kid, The Entertainer, Prelude/Angry Young Man, James, Root Beer Rag, Travelin' Prayer, Just The Way You Are, Pressure, Until The Night. I could go on forever. Great performer, wonderful lyricist.

R325, I’d add Joan Jett to your list.

It’s a lazy way to sell records: put “rock n’ roll” or “party” in the title.

Sugar Walls.

Time does funny things. I LOVED Billy Joel's Scenes from an Italian Restaurant. I just listened to it for the first time in many years. What was I thinking? Not awful, just drippy and sentimental.

BUT - I still love Stiletto and Rosalinda's Eyes.

I love the whole Stranger album. Special mention, Captain Jack.

This dickhead. Peter Blakely

And I always feel like that dickhead was inspired by this dickhead. Billy Field"

That man in motion dreck st elmost fire theme

Outfield, Your Love. Crap!

Busdy holly,it’s awful and I like Weezer.

Telenovela scene made into a song

I love "Your Love" by the Outfield. BUT I certainly didn't when I was younger. In fact, MANY of these songs I couldn't stand in my yout (no "h") but my appreciation grew the older I got.

Dr. John

This early '80s piece of shit!!! During my senior year of high school, 1982-83, the redneck straight boys at my Austin, TX high school played the shit out of this putrid ear-raper in the parking lot. I would turn up Def Leppard, Van Halen, or Judas Priest on my Walkman to drown out this puke.

"Swingin'" by John Anderson. A Nightmare!!!!

Genesis had a few good songs, but Paperlate was NOT one of them. Ugh!

RED SOLO CUP by TOBY KEITH.

Gypsy Woman (song and very 90s video) is moving. Also, Crystal Waters was simply gorgeous. I wonder WHET her.

Kim Wayans doing Crystal Waters:

Some 1960's era poop: SUGAR SHACK

Michael Bolton's music was an assault on ears everywhere. Good God!!! His music was cringeworthy!

Another vote for "Life is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me) by Reunion. Damn, that song reeks!!!

R355, how could you not love this song?

We Go Together from Grease. Revolta and friends.

I always hated Bread & Butter by the Newbeats!!!!

Red Sovine Teddy Bear. More dreck from the 1970s. My brother and I hated this song, and there was a recent thread on it, and most on the thread hated it, too.

I'm serious as cancer when I say RHYTHM IS A DANCER.

I hated Rhythm is a Dancer too. Ugh!

Like fingernails on a blackboard...

Kim Wayans doing Tracy Chapman, Fast Car.

Long Haired Lover From Liverpool.

Culture Club had some decent songs... The War Song was not one of them. Yuck!

Bad Blood by Neil Sedaka... the horror!

DAVID GEDDES RUN JOEY RUN

R363 The Tracy Chapman thing was clever.

But they slayed on this skit.

Tim McGraw Back When

Who wrote those lyrics? A four year old? Gawdawful!!!!

BECAUSE I GOT HIGH BY AFROMAN. Diarrhea set to music.

How bizarre, how bizarre!

Taylor Swift's You Belong With Me is one of the ten worst songs I have ever heard. Bubblegum country?

Wildfire.

Michael Martin Murphey

The absolute worst of this entitle thread.

Midnight at the Oasis. The vocals are terrible.

1. JEREMIAH WAS A BULLFROG 2. WE BUILT THIS CITY by Starship 3. WAKE ME UP WHEN IT"S ALL OVER by Avicii 4. POSITIVELY FOURTH STREET by Bob Dylan 5. IMAGINE by John Lennon

Good shit at the time

that one

ouch!

R35 I was offered that shong firsht! I passhed!

"We BUILT THIS SHITTY!"

You Light Up My Life Torn Between Two Lovers Tie a Yellow Ribbon Any song Helen Reddy sang

My idea of hell would be being stuck in a room with these songs looping. Lol

R22 Never heard/saw this – I love it!

R376 I kind of love “positively fourth street” because it’s such a rant of pure hatred.

R370 This song is hilarious!

Honestly, I have to admit I’m seeing so many old tunes on this thread that I find quite endearing.

I hate the Beach Boys. Complete crap.

Featuring Canada's pervert Jian Ghomeshi

Pedo music

Anything by Madonna is pretty shitty.

R371 posted one that I don't like either, "How Bizarre". Such a pointless song, such lazy songwriting.

I switch stations if I hear "Come On Eileen" "Simple Twist of Fate" "Buffalo Soldier" and "One Love" by Bob Marley Anything by that Canadian gimmick band Barenaked Ladies. "You Light Up My Life" "Borderline" by Madonna

WE BUILT THIS CITY - by Starship. What city are they referring to? Marconi plays the Mamba!

WAKE ME UP - by Avicii. I wish that I could stay forever this young but wake me up when it's all over when I'm older. I didn't know I was lost because I was finding myself.

You mean she's got gas?

Lick my crevice!

I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper -- Hot Gossip

This thread makes me wish rock 'n' roll had never been invented.

Anything by Lionel Richie or Phil Collins

Thats an amazing song R41 do you know the story behind it?

It's not casual homophobia by the artist r41. Mark Knopfler overheard two guys unloading stuff at a store talking about HIM. ( Playing guitar on MTV) making fun of his appearance. He IS the " Little F****t they're talking about.

An eldergay friend of mine gets drunk and posts Midnight Special vids from YouTube with comments like "this is REAL rock n roll". Here's one I think is especially horrible.

PS - He's also one of those guys that hears a song and starts swinging his arm and snapping like he's in a 50s doo-wap group.

Doesn't get much worse than this:

La Vie En Piss

C'MON EILEEN by one-hit wonder / homeless drifters Dexy's Midnight Runners.

At my high school it was played at every dance and every occasion and every party. This stupid indecipherable song is still played loud at my gym.

I never understood what the appeal is or what the song is about.

"More on never Come On Eileen too rail or a too rail Laura we can fling just like no other!"

Joy to the World by Three Dog Knight and everything else they did.

Doesn't get worse than this.

R402 didn’t like that one, but loved some of their others: “Easy to be Hard”....”Out in the Country”....”Shambala”... beautiful. Chuck Whatshisname had a great voice.

UGH, JOY TO THE WORLD. I forgot about that one. Who cares about Jeremiah the bullfrog.

I have memories of a kid in my elementary school in the late 1970s, Anthony. He would perform that song in class once or twice a year. Then he'd perform it at school assemblies and even when we'd have school plays, he'd be the encore to perform JOY TO THE WORLD.

Anthony would wear his little top hat and dance with his cane. Everyone would applaud, except for eye-rolling nine year-old me and a few other boys.
