The Worst Song Ever

[nec13]

I don't know about that. The way it incorporates all of those old Beach Boys songs is actually pretty creative. "Original Wrapper" is just horrendous. Any song that manages to use the word "lugubrious" probably sucks.

That seamless transition of "When I grow up to be a man, giddy up giddy up 409!"

This is awful but it's really more straight-up weird.

"Are you ready? Did you eat? Do you have the energy?"

"Are you ready? Did you eat? Do you have the energy?"

The horrendous glowing sneakers aside, this song has some of the weirdest lyrics ever. "Basically what we're gonna do is dance." + the jewel you quoted above.

On a side note, I finally listened to a few Lady GaGa songs, and watched a few videos. I cannot say I was impressed. I know this has been said many times, but let me add my voice to the mix: Do you have something against pants, Lady GaGa?

"Are you ready? Did you eat? Do you have the energy?"

"Don't want you passin' out af-ter a couple-a hours a piece..." Wow. Did they listen to the meter of the song before, you know, writing the lyrics? Guess not.

This is so bad it's going on my ongoing list of Inappropriate Walk Up Music.

C'mon, "the beat is like an earthquake." What could be harder to understand than that? The next time you hear a loud non-rhythmic roaring sound, and the ground starts moving for around 4-5 seconds, start basically dancin', ya'll!



Just wait until you have a 12 to 14-year-old daughter.

oh lord... maybe someone already brought this up but i'm listening to an advance copy of neil young's newest right now, 'fork in the road'. an album about electric cars. it contains at least three nominees for worst song, and i say this as a neil young fanatic.

i cannot locate any mp3s though, as i'm a compudummy. anyone got a link?

Subcategory:  Can anyone name a GOOD band that has a number in their name?

I was thinking about this today, and could only come up with Three Dog Night, and even that's highly debatable.  Oh, and I guess The MC5 are on the good side.  But seriously, Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Seven Mary Three, Finger Eleven, Sector 7-G, 311, Stroke 9, Eve 6 ... All terrible!  And all still getting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much airplay.

Oh, and I was thinking about this as I changed the radio station from a channel playing "Sex and Candy" by Marcy Playground, and landed on a channel playing "Push You A-round" (I can only assume that's what it's called) by Matchbox 20.  Then screamed, in aggrevation, for a solid sixty seconds.

Sorta a killer riff, actually.

First Nation's People? 

I'm not too convinced of that.

What about Mojave 3? I like some of their stuff.

Big Steve, I can forgive a lot, but don't start ripping on the numbers, man, I can only take so much.

I guess I am some sort of unhip dolt, but I still like lots of U2. B-52's first album is still a lot of fun. KRS-One had moments, as did early UB40. The Four Tops are hunky dory in my book. Early Jackson 5 tunes still move me. Dave Clark Five was kind of fab, sort of early hard-hat pop. Despite possibly being linked with Spike, I like the 5 Satins. Death From Above 1979's You're a Woman, I'm a Machine isn't exactly enjoyable, but it's kind of interesting. 5678's do that retro thing pretty well. And don't forget 1989 Heavy Metal Grammy winners Jethro Twoll (songs from the wood make you feel much better.) The Twooters? Twoodd Rundgren?

And now that I really think about it, you better start preparing your apology to the Queen.....ever heard of Hank IV?

I'm partial to the Max Weinberg 7 myself.

This is so bad that I love it.

You probably have seen this on TV Carnage.  For those of you that haven't, enjoy.
