OT: Worst Song of All Time

[TCC Kid]

If my Dad (1921 - 1983) were posting he would nominate this song. He always told me how much his Dad (whom I never knew) hated this song, and how he flung this 78 record across the room. The full title was "Barney Google with the goo-goo-googily eyes. (Almost 100 years before google was a household brand.)

Your DAD would like this one--NO VIDEO--
Putty Putty Cement Mixer 1945. (my sister, still in Killingworth) sang that to her Baby that year.
Barney Google, with goo goo googlie eyes. Great comic strip.

I know I sound like a dinosaur but most all of today’s music is complete and total garbage, with the exception of some artists that actually SING SONGS.

I know it's a common sentiment, but I think there is plenty of good music being made currently, of pretty much every genre imaginable. You just have to go find it. With You Tube and all kinds of music streaming platforms, it's out there waiting to be found.

Ugh

Sweet Caroline: You just have to hear the song with the correct background singers.

Sweet Caroline Game 1, World Series October 23

Sorry about the shakes, Sox had just gone up by four runs after the Nunez home run!

For any of you who haven't heard of him, I offer this little gem from Larry Wild Man Fisher.

I haven't read through this entire thread so I Know I'm probably being redundant, but Bill Withers, Ain't No Sunshine.

 

[Jingo]

Brian Hyland lived around the corner from me in Woodhaven, Queens, growing up. His song about the 'yellow polka dot bikini' is the worst tune ever! We were strictly doo wop and are still wondering how he went so far astray, eh?

 

[SCNCHuskie]

For any of you who haven't heard of him, I offer this little gem from Larry Wild Man Fisher.

Come on now, if you’re gonna play Wild Man Fisher you have to play Fish Heads.” (here is the short version just to give a taste)

I'm not going to link any specific examples, but William Shatner has recorded several albums, and Leonard Nimoy has at least one.
I only know this because I once got one as a gag gift, I think it was the Nimoy... it did not make it to my iTunes library.

Could never quite handle this one:

The Trashmen SURFIN' BIRD

Na, no...! Great song...!

 

[SandrasGuy]

You can ring my bell - Anita Ward. Also anything by Whitney Houston who doesn’t sing, she simply yells in tune.

 

[meyers7]

I won't post actual videos, because I wouldn't do that to someone.

But here are my worst.

1. Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen (covered by....everyone)
2. Imagine - John Lennon
3. My Pal Foot Foot - The Shaggs

@The deacon @Blond D. @LesMis89 , you all actually like My Pal Foot Foot???
