OT - worst song ever

[Bama fan]

Agreed. I ain't lickin' no ones boomboom down.

Just down, or at all? Clarify your position on this immediately!

Up, down, sideways and any and every angle in between. No (b)pun intend.

 

[JordyG]

I'll see you Feelings, and raise you this one.

Eddie Fisher - Oh! My PaPa 1954

Nah, not close. At least the song is specific. Feelings? C'mon.

 

[Bama fan]

I'm gonna hold! My guy left Debbie Reynolds and Princess Leia! What a dufus! Even my dad hated the frickin' song!

 

[JustinesGuy]

May I also nominate Rico suave?

As someone who lived through the 70s and lived to tell the tale, the choices for worst song are endless. “Disco Duck,” “Afternoon Delight,”—the list goes on and on. La Ross simply does not measure up—or down. The worst song of that, or any, decade is “You’re Having My Baby” by Paul Anka. It has the special added bonus of being extremely sexist in addition to sounding like elevator/cruise ship/doctor’s office music. Just my $0.02. Thanks for letting me share.

I grew up in the 1970s and I absolutely agree with you. Those 3 have to be among the worst ever.

Coconut by Nilsson.

It's strange because Nilsson wrote/sang some good songs: "Everybody'sTalkin", "Without You","Me and My Arrow" to name a few.

 

[Beemer]

According to Geno himself, this is the worst sentiment ever expressed.

Loathe this one too

Anyone here remember "dead skunk in the middle of the road." IIRC one of my fellow mainahs' sang that one.

Remember it? I had the 45 lol

Now the man Eddie Fisher, yeah, dirtball. Left his family, the crumb. He actually paraded Liz Taylor around his estranged and yet to be divorced wife Debbie. But he got his screw turned when Liz, "The love of (my) his life" dumped him quick for Richard Burton. His career fast faded to the back of the sock drawer. I thought the real shame of it was when Carrie kept his last name. But he was her daddy and she loved him to the end.

 

[Puppy Love]

Tiffany- ‘Could Have Been’ aka The Dead Flowers Song.

 

[JonathanXIV]

De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum! I love Nillson, so I cannot concur!

Agreed. Great song. So much fun, and winks at you the entire time.

 

[nwhoopfan]

This one was really popular for a while but I always thought it was cringy.

American Idol deserves a special place in hell for unleashing William Hung and Sanjaya on the public.

Another man's hair on my razor (1968 from The Paupers)

[Huskygamble19]

In my opinion the worst songs I have ever heard are Sugar Sugar by the Archies. totally inane song of nonsense. Chewy chewy by Ohio Express..another mindless concoction of stupidity and stupid lyrics. You Were On My Mind by We Five. totally stupid lyrics with little meaning. The bubble gum songs were a total joke.

 

[Huskygamble19]

Hell yeah...Loudon Wainwright III

 

[Huskygamble19]

Dead Puppies Aren't Much Fun was a weird novelty song that i cringed at hearing.

 

[Huskygamble19]

May I also nominate Rico suave?

Oh no.. Not that one.. I used that song to sing to the ladies to melt their hearts

 

[nwhoopfan]

Interesting what criteria people are using for worst song. For many it seems to be vapid lyrics. For me it's more about how it sounds. If someone just can't sing, I don't want to hear it.

Or in the case of the first thing I threw out there (2 Live Crew), combination of both. Sounds terrible and gross, filthy lyrics.

 

[gipke1]

You see!? There me and my wife were having a great time and someone just HAD to go and sing the KARAOKE version of this SONG!!!!

I WILL (won't) SURVIVE!!!

We're paying the tab before someone sings "Call TYRONE!!"

But I could almost give DISCO DUCK a PASS because I Rick Dees KNEW it was bad. It was kind of a ironic, parody on how much the commercial music industry had colluded together to treat absolute garbage as artistic expression. Kinda like most "modern" or "abstract" art. I mean c'mon a bunch of petrified cadavers, incinerated pieces of lumber or a hundred street lamps piled on top of each other is NOT meaningfully expressive.

All of this I have seen at the Los Angeles County Museum of "Art".

Oh, and by the way...concerning Disco , Duck I said "ALMOST"

 

[Orangutan]

"Who Let the Dogs Out?" was going to be my nominee.
