The Worst Song Ever

[WavyGravy]

Anyone heard of the Komar & Melamid project where they surveyed people on the music they hated and tried to turn it into the worst song ever?

I look forward to some kind of art-world takedown from KTB, OR Junk, if he ever comes back.

Ken Freedman played that on his show last month.  They pack in harps, bagpipes, opera singing, rapping, children singing, cowboy lyrics, etc etc etc.

Why?

• The oft-pointed-out non-irony of the lyrics
• The grating abuse of quietLOUDquiet
• the moment when she smiles at "Crazy-Joe-Cocker-Spasm-Alanis" in the backseat through the rearview and says "Don'cha think?"
• The horror of even the idea of a car full of Alanii

"French... wrong!"

A close runner up, for me: Crocodile Rock

Oh sweet Jesus.

[reallynotclever]

This is just offensive. I'm not sure which is worse. The Mall punk music they play or the diabolically bad lyrics. "Have you no shame, sir?" Where are "TRB" from?  I'm guessing some place where being informed & asking questions isn't cool. You've made it A tight race, JonFromMaplewood. I thought brokeNCYDE would run away with the title, crossing the finish line running backwards.  I would pay anything to see both bands racing for the title. Being chased down by The Gorch, driving his super charged Rascal scooter. While he's swinging his special chain with the gun on the end. Call me ol' fashioned.

[JonFromMaplewood]

Thanks, reallynotclever, but notThatJames takes the credit for that latest offering.

[reallynotclever]

Sorry 'bout that, not that james.  I'm feeling A bit dizzy. I gotta sit down. 

[Regular Joe]

It probably won't win, but Zombie by The Cranberries makes me want to jump out a window when it comes on, not to die but to escape.

[Ike]

TRB. Holy crap.

That HAS to be a joke. The faux Billie Joel song, the fat guitar player with bad facial hair, the t-shirts. 

That has to be a joke.  There's no way that's real.

Wow.

its like some wierd mad tv sketch

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not a joke. That song by TRB - The Right Brothers - has been around for a while. At least a couple of years. I especially appreciate that the guitar line uses the schoolyard "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nah" jeering melody.

If you go to BrokeNCYDE's myspace page, you can request that they come to YOUR town. I did it.

[Big Plastic Head]

I personally would like to offer all four members of TRB a firm kick to the nuts.
