50 worst songs of all time!!!

That's a bullshit list. I haven't heard more than half of them, but, a list that includes Ob-la-Di-Ob-la-Da and Sounds of Silence could not pretend to be serious.

All of these songs were No.1 Hits. But that's only a list. Of course some songs DON'T belong there, and some are missing.

Every time there is list of best/worst people will always disagree.

Different strokes for different folks!

I for one don't take that list seriously.

After reading the first ten songs I stopped. I like 75% of them right off the bat. "We Built This City"
is one of the most melodic and perfectly produced singles I ever heard. I don't much like it or own it, but I'll give it its due...IMHO

anything by Engleburt Humperlump

"We built this city" is a piece of trite, contrived garbage. It should be there.

"What's Up" by 4 non-blondes? I LOVE that song!

the worst song of all times, luckily, is on the list: Celine Dion Titanic stuff...as huge R.E.M. fan I can also add that Shinny Happy People really is stupid song

Putting Sound of silence on that list, however, is really retarded, this song may be a bit pretensious (okay, I am Croatian and I don't know to spell this word, imagine that you know what I wanted to say ) but it's nice despite that. I also like "Breakfast at Tiffany's"...stupidness of list is also that it does not have different times in mind - "Ob-La-Di...." would kinda really be stupid song if someone write it today. It was not stupid back then, or you can as well put on the list 95% of songs from 60's and 70's.

That Titanic song is not a bad song. If you ever hear it as an instrumental, it's a haunting and beautiful melody. It's the Celine Dion part that makes it blow so much.

"That "What's Up?" song is not a bad song. If you ever hear it as an instrumental, it's a haunting and beautiful melody."

yuk yuk

Hey, where is MacArthur Park on that list?

Now this Red Peters classic, by oh so reliable internet voting, won both 'best' and 'worst' Christmas song. I say we let the A2K bunch decide (and it has hamsters):

Holy ****, It's Christmas!
(Grenga/Stevens/Johnson/Lawry)

Red Peters with The New Christy Hamsters

SFX - Jingling bells, intro music bed, etc.

(off in the distance) "Ho, ho, ho....."

Hamster #1 - "Did you hear that?"

Hamster #2 - "Hey everybody, Santa's here!"

Hamster #3 - "Aw, there ain't no Santa Claus."

Hamster #2 - "There is, too!"

SFX - knock on door

Hamsters - "He's here!!!"

SFX - door bursts open

Red - "Ho, ho, ho... Merry Christmas boys!"

Hamster #1 - "Aw, ****, it's Red Peters..."

Hamsters - "Awww..." (grumbling in unison)

Red - "Come on you swinging hamsters, get over here. We're gonna sing us a happy Christmas song."

Hamster #1 - "Oh no, not another corny, stupid song."

Hamster #2 - "Yeah, no way Red."

Hamsters - "Yeah, yeah..."

Red - "Get over here and sing or I'll ring your little necks!"

Hamsters - "OK!, OK!...jeesh!"

SUNG
Grab your nuts hamsters, gather round with me
forget about out all that teasin'
we're breakin' out the holly and aluminum tree
cuz it's that jolly season
I know you been naughty, but have you been nice
that's only Santa's business
he's makin' his list and he's checkin' it twice
Holy ****, It's Christmas! (HAMSTERS)

HAMSTERS
Santa comes just once a year
just like you Red, that's what we hear
he's got a soft spot for reindeer
especially Rudolph's derriere

knock it off fellas it's a holiday
go on give santa a big kiss
you can play hide the hamster on a one horse sleigh
Holy ****, It's Christmas! (HAMSTERS)

(instrumental)

Red - "Hey, what happened to my lyric sheet? Anyone seen my lyric sheet?"

Hamster #1 - "Heck, we don't need no lyric sheets, Red.
We know our parts by heart. Right fellas?" (giggles)

Hamster #2 - "Yeah, sure, I know my part, Godfried." (giggles)

Hamster #3 - "Yah, me too!" (giggles)

Red- "Well that's great guys, I love Christmas songs."

SUNG
(Godfried) - Santa tried reaching up the neighbors blouse
after drinking all the eggnog

(Bruce) - camped out in the bathroom for an hour or two
squashing off a yule log

(Raliegh) - he wandered in his undies all over the house
but we minded our own business

(Hamsters) - til we caught him stuffing hamsters up a gift wrap tube

(All) - Holy ****, It's Christmas!

(Red) Santa comes just once a year
up the chimney he'll disappear

(hamsters) keep on the look out for Mr. Gear
hamster deliveries in the rear

Red - (grabbing the lyric sheet, speaking...) "Gimme those lyrics!!!"

roastnuts chestin' on an open fire
santas tongue stuck to the doorknob
his balls got fondled by a carolin' choir
while the parson gave him a hand... what?
the sleigh came down and took him away
that whole damn crowd was dismissed
it was time to be jolly, a time to be gay
Holy ****, It's Christmas! (HAMSTERS)
Holy ****, It's Christmas! "
Holy ****, It's Christmas! "
(end)

I'd vote for that for Worst Christmas Song, cav. I'll admit, it is funny, though...in a warped way.

That first list was obviously put together by people who don't care for pop. A bunch of pseudo-sophisticated rockers, I'll bet. If I had a list of worst songs, the #1 winner would be America's "Horse with No Name" (long version.) I HATE that song! Makes me want to shoot something...the horse, the radio, myself, whatever.....

What would YOUR top nominee be for Worst Song?

Eww...Horse With No Name...what about Dust in the Wind? I have a theory that any band named after a city or state just suck.

My list of some of the worst songs ever include:

Skate Key by Melanie
You Make Me Feel Like Dancing by Leo Sayer
Honey by Bobby Goldsboro
Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast (I can't remember who sang it)
Macarana
Dust In The Wind by Kansas

As for the worst Christmas song it's got to be The Twelve Days Of Christmas...hands down. I HATE that song!!!

cav, interesting theory, however, St.Etienne is brilliant band - maybe that's because they haven't named band after their own city

and I agree with Dust in the Wind as well
And every song by David Hasselhoff

I've got the St. Entienne 'best of' cd. I like them!

I can't take any list of worst songs seriously that does not include "The Living Years" by Mike & the Mechanics.

Yuck.

are you saying that toronto was not a great band

actually there's a band called idaho that's pretty good

worst song, hmmm, anything being played in heavy rotation on top 40 radio
