What song would you nominate as the worst song ever?

Strange Pick For the Worst Song Ever

The classic Beatles song, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," has been voted the worst song ever in an online poll of 1,000 people conducted by Britain's Mars. Okay, so maybe this tune is more fun than serious poetry, but does that make it the worst song EVER? Even the BBC News notes that it's on the Beatles' "White Album," which is often regarded as one of the best albums ever made.

The top five "worst" songs ever, according to the Mars poll:
1. "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," by The Beatles
2. "Fog on the Tyne, " by Gazza and Lindisfarne
3. "I'll Do Anything For Love," Meat Loaf
4. "Diamond Lights," by Glenn Hoddle and Chris Waddle
5. "We Will Rock You," 5ive featuring Queen


"Admit it or not, most of these are songs that we liked when they first came out," Ian Edwards, a lecturer at the Academy of Contemporary Music, told the BBC News Online. "That is the nature of pop music as a part of fashion. Songs are popular at the time, but times change and often this results in embarrassing additions to your record collections. It is interesting to note that they were nearly all hits."

I picked ice ice baby by vanilla ice

we will rock you......

i vote for Ice Ice Baby........omg now i cant get that out of my head....yuck..LOL

To me, the worst song in history has to be the tune by the Vapors "Turning Japanese."

"I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so."

Ughhh


Andrea

Guess I'm the only one annoyed by Meat Loaf's song. The rest I can tolerate, like, or never hear.

Hey I like that Turning Japanese song (it's so funny). I think I even have the old 45!!!

My votes are for:

Margaritaville
MacArthur Park
Muskrat Love
Freebird
Stairway to Heaven

Afternoon delight
Almost anything by the rolling stones
The milk shake song
Anything by a Blink 182 rip off
Anyone whose last name is Simpson
Werewolves of London
Mmmmmmmmm (but that is guilty pleasure, I can listen to it once a year)
Anything by Phantomas (they opened for Tool once, worst sound I have ever heard, sounded like someone skinning a cat to the tune of the Godfather played at high speed)
We are the World

ugh!! Freebird by far!!!!

Yep.. Freebird! I can't STAND it! I think that anyone cought playing it should be forced to burn the cd LOL

Southeners who don't like freebird????? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

That's what I was thinking too. LOL

I LOVE Freebird and many of the other ones yall have voted for. :o lol

I would have to vote for....

That song "Blue". I can't remember who sung it but man I hate that son.

It goes... I'm blue... and I can't understand the rest. LOL They repeat "I'm blue" a million times through the song though.

She drives me crazy - Fine Young Cannibals

Worst song EVER, IMO!

I hate the milkshake song. I can never get it out of my head.

If I chose ANY song as the worst song?
Hmm....lord I can't pick just one. Any sort of bad duo song. And there's a TON of them. OH I KNOW! Enrique Iglesias - Hero.
The psycho boyfriend I had would alternate between singing that and NIN - Closer to me. This is like a 6 ft tall wannabe goth boy.. singing a bad pop ballad. Scarey eh? OH! Shaggy - Angel. I'm a music elitist :D I'm all about the indie rock.

Hehehehehe, do you know what the song is about?

THE MACARENA :eek: Oh and that Billy rae Cyrus song that they used to play all the time but I can't remember the name of it.

I'm not fond of Ice Ice baby either.

I think that would be Achy Breaky Heart. Plus it also had a stupid little dance to go along with it. :p

There are people who go to bars and think they're COOL doing that still. :confused:

On VH-1's "True Spin", the Vapors said it DOESN'T refer to masturbation. It's about a breakup and how the individual "loses themself" and turns into somebody else, ie turning Japanese. Me? I still think it's about masturbation!

I love that song. It never fails to make me laugh.

eewww!! you know how many red lights I sat at back in the day singing away to that song??

lolol

You Light Up My Life - by Debbie Boone
(and)
Send In The Clowns - by ?

Both of those songs were played to death when they came out. I was just a kid, but I can remember hating both of them. I hated them the first time I heard them, and I hated them the 10 millionth time I heard them. I can't believe they were sooooo popular for so long. What kind of people enjoyed these songs. Gives me the shivers to hear them.

um the Vapors sung Turning Japanesse, she wast alking about Blue by Eifle 65

I can't really say that I HATE any song, and I defiantely can't chose a Worst Song Ever, but one that always made me laugh was "I Kissed A Girl", but I can't remember who sung it. I can see the video playing in my head......the singer was married to Fabio (in the video) but she and the woman next door would play footsie under the table and stuff.....

You'd be amazed :)

I guess Sweet Home Alabama would top my list, really anything by Lynard Skynard except Give Me Three Steps.

Blue...I was so hooked on that song, drove my kids crazy singing it.

You light up my life....I hate that song. It girl who played at my wedding played it...lesson learned....approve all music played at your wedding.

Redneck Woman....that makes me cringe every time I hear it.....most of my most hated would fall in the country category, but some of the songs I love most would too.

It's not that I think these songs are the Worse songs, but just songs that I Hate.
Always and Forever reminds of Mixers at the Catholic High School. I would hear that song and think of the times at the Mixer when you weren't asked to dance
Stairway to Heaven - Don't know why that song was ever played at the Mixers but it always ended the dance w/ that song. Do you know how long that song is??? So if you weren't asked to dance you had to stand up against the bleachers / wall waiting for one of your friends who was asked or if you were one of the chosen to dance it was a very long dance then. Either way I can't stand to hear that song to this day.

I love Obli dah it's one of my fave Beatles song.

Get Low by Lil Jon

that could gagamaggot

"Don't Worry, Be Happy". I love to irritate my hubby with it. OHOHOHOHOHOHOH don't worry OHOHOHOHOH be happy. Don't worry, be happy now. And sing the OHs at the top of my voice. LOL I really like it. It drowned out people who were carping, not that he was the carper. :D :D :D

How funny...because that is one of the songs that when played backward it clearly talks about "sweet satan, the one who makes me sad sweet satan" and says a bunch of other things that can be clearly heard when played backward. I remember them doing it in class when I was in high school and it sent chills all over me. :eek:

la bamba for sure!!!!!!!
that song makes me nuts :eek:

HERE is one NO ONE thought of and IF you never heard this DITTY, you are WAY too young.."Afternoon Delight"..is scary and wrong..a personal HATE.."PUMP up the JAM, so your feet are STUMPIN' that was huge on VH1 in Europe when I lived there and they played it a MILLION times and at the present sitting here thinking about this..here is a scary,.."TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS"....ickes, crickes..once I lived in a co-op joint and this was weird and this chick had dated 2 guys same night perhaps had "occassions with both" seperately and PLAYED THIS SONG, for hours, I mean like 3 hours, straight drinking ..here's one to remember "MAD DOG 20/20".. til the whole PLACE kicked out and broke the..get this.. THE "45"...that in itself makes me OFFICALLY OLD.. LOL!

I have one word

MACARENA
