Afternoon Delight by Starland Vocal Band will send me running. and anything by Bobby Goldsboro (if there's anyone old enough to remember) especially Watching Scottie Grow or Honey. Shudder. And let's not forget Captain and Tenneille's Muskrat Love _________________________ Do I dare to eat a Peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk along the beach.

Actually, any remake Annie does is a success.. "I Don't Want To Wait In Vain" is another example. I'm sure Bob Marley would agree _________________________ A smile is a curved line that sets things straight. ~ Anon.

MadMags Star Poster Registered: Sat May 03 2008 Posts: 17092 Loc: Orosi Costa Rica	And as far as bad songs go, the new song out by Queen Of The Stone Age, "Make It Wit Chu". Great melody, very catchy, but moronic lyrics. _________________________ A smile is a curved line that sets things straight. ~ Anon.

Quote: I would have to say "Don't cha" by Pussycat Dolls. It's a retarded song, and it almost puts me into seizures whenever I hear it! That song is not for listening, it is for watching Quote: I like an awful lot of instrumental pieces of music (I'm a huge "Art of Noise" fan), I just think that if people are going to bother singing, say something that at least makes sense, or isn't offensive. Otherwise, why bother? It's just useless noise that detracts from what may well be quality "music". Amen to that. For example I love Dream Theater music, up until the moment that singer opens his mouth and starts screeching. Just to add an international flavour: "Da Da Da" by Trio. It was for some unfathomable reason a big hit in Germany. web page _________________________ They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I love that dude. I don't think most people listen to what he's saying. He's funny as hell. Anyway, off the top of my head I'd say REM's "Shiny Happy People" is one of the worst songs ever. It's annoying on so many levels! _________________________ "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." - Master Yoda

supersal1 Mainstay Registered: Sat Jul 17 2004 Posts: 727 Loc: Essex UK	A remake that's better than the original? For my money "With A Little Help From My Friends" by Joe Cocker is much better than the Beatles's version, though I like both. I also prefer the Willy Nelson version of "Always on My Mind" to any other. I also love the Gary Jules version of "Mad World". Cringemaking songs? "Dance With My Father" - Luther Vandross. 'Orrible, and that comes from someone who's usually a sucker for a weepy. "Home" by Michael Buble - excrutiating lyrics, as if written by a 10 year old who is being forced to write poetry but would rather be playing football.

Qmel Explorer Registered: Tue Oct 09 2007 Posts: 62 Loc: Eldridge Iowa USA	One of the worst songs out there in MercMe's "I Can Only Imagine". That song makes me cringe because there are so many things wrong with it, from the treacly lyrics to the nasal singing. It makes me change the station!

tjoebigham Multiloquent Registered: Sat Dec 25 1999 Posts: 2824 Loc: Fairhaven Massachusetts USA	A lot of the pop songs of the 70's are disgustingly saccharine; it seems a lot of pop groups were trying to emulate ABBA and the Carpenters. "Torn Between Two Lovers", "The Morning After" (from "Poseidon Adventure"), "Feelings", "Alone Again Naturally", "Seasons in the Sun"...one word: YUCH! tjoebigham}:>

ecnalubma Prolific Registered: Sat Apr 29 2006 Posts: 1549 Loc: Brisbane Queensland Australia	"I've Never Been To Me" by Charlene is up there with "The Morning After" (as listed by tjoebigham above) for my money! I'm not a fan of what is referred to in my house as "Wanksta" - short for Wannabe Gansta. Seriously - how many of these guys are really 'gansta' and not simply jumping on the bandwagon?

martin_cube Multiloquent Registered: Mon Sep 18 2006 Posts: 2534 Loc: Bristol England UK	A candidate for a cover version which is better than the original is Hurt by Johhny Cash. The heartfelt emotion he put into the song always brings a lump to my throat. I think even Trent Reznor has acknowledged that Johnny made the definitive recording of it. Not to everyone's tastes I know, but it does it for me. (I love his version of the Beatles song 'In My Life' too. As that's my favoUrite song of all time - probably - it would have to be good to stop me hating him for trying!) _________________________ Don't Dream It, Be It!

It was a song about a mining acident and cannabalism from the 1970's, by The Bouys. Truely Hideous. _________________________ Do I dare to eat a Peach?

taswegiangal Participant Registered: Fri Apr 24 2009 Posts: 19	In my Encyclopaedia of Rock Music the band Grand Funk Railroad is described as "Right place, right time explains success of this mediocre, head-banging outfit". So I found their music on U tUBE. Even "We are an American Band" [according to the encyclopaedia their only "half-decent" song is lousy. So I vote for Grand Funk Railroad songs [any] as being the worst.
