dondoboy Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Oh Lord, whatever song the NFL is using, "You Had A Bad Day", I don't know who sings it. I almost threw my beer at the TV. But the beer didn't do anything wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I was never abused in anyway as a child, but my mother is a Jimmy Buffett fan... Cheeseburger in Paradise or pretty much anything that asshat ever wrote would have to get my vote. --Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dagwave Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 "Cruel Summer" wasn't a cover. Maybe you're thinking of "Venus"? (That sucked big-time.)Â "Rickey" was a cover, however ... of a song called "Kitty," which was changed to "Mickey" for Toni Basil.thanks for the info/orrection and apologies to all for my sloppiness. damn, i was even sober....

mountain bed Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 There has been hideous, sick-making music in every decade of the RXR era (of course), but for sheer volume and percentage of crap-to-good (or even listenable ) the '80s takes the prize. Just my .02, but there is just so much stuff from that time I cannot tolerate ("skinny-tie" synth-pop, fake "hair farmer" metal, etc.) that it could be argued that "worst song of the '80s" deserves a whole thread to itself. Maybe if we can focus ourselves that thread will come to pass. Â It's the Final Countdown..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theashtraysays Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 The first thing that pops into my head is "Tell Laura I Love Her" - I don't recall who sang this steaming pile of shite but as Matt said earlier, it's probably best that I don't.True story:I was walking along the harbor in Hong Kong a couple years ago, and this "band" of Chinese guys had set up and was playing this very song out on the walkway. Actually, it was more of "Tell Raura I Ruv Her." It was one of the more bizarre, surreal moments of my lifetime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dondoboy Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 OK, its the reason I started the thread. This one's for you Hardwood Floors. L.A. Woman sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hansford Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 i am sure i am in the minority, and being new to the forum this might be a bit unsettling, but I think Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal is pretty unlistenable. at the very least, songs like "my humps" and the like allow for a bit of headbobbing (though I agree that one in particular is pretty wretched). As far as songs I have heard on the radio and just thought "OH GOOD LORD", I would say nothing has made me turn the channel faster than Godsmack - Voodoo.

redpillbox Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 My vote is "Afternoon Delight" by Starland Vocal Band... Song is completely necessary for this reason:  "Cruel Summer" I like "Cruel Summer"...I'll say it. I have to add hollerback (hollaback?) girl by the no doubt singer bleck. I think it's ok to fun with music every once in a while.  Here's my vote:  In all seriousness though...as someone in the other thread said...I think it HAS to be "Hotel California." The Duder and I agree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 There tons of non-RnR genre songs that are gaud-awful, but for those (supposedly) within the genre, my vote goes to REO Speedwagon's "Take It On The Run". Makes me vomit everytime. Why does FM radio keep playing this song?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I kind of like Afternoon delight, and Brandy, and a lot of other songs that are supposed to be embarrassing. But the vast majority of these posts are on the money! Others people have mentioned to me are Knights in white satin ( I don't mind that one but the poetry part is pretty lame) and that "White bird in a golden cage" song. Can't say I hate that one either. Pretty much anything by Korn makes me nauseous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardwood floor Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 at the store this morning i heard something called i think "I'm sorry" that according to the clerk is by "buckcherry" this is the worst song i've ever heard just mind-blowingly bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 that song from Friends deserves consideration although I am willing to consider that my hatred of the song has as much if not more to do with the show itself and the people who watch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Others people have mentioned to me are Knights in white satin ( I don't mind that one but the poetry part is pretty lame)  I have always liked that song - since I was a kid and first heard it. I think it is best heard within the context of the album - and not as a single. But - that is hard to do - as it has charted as a single (different from the album version) more than once over the years. A lot of people may not know this - but Days of Future Passed was only their second album.  1. "The Day Begins" (Peter Knight & The Moody Blues) / "Morning Glory" (Graeme Edge) (unlisted track) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
