The Worst Song Ever

[Steve in North Hollywood]

I thought I knew what the worst song ever really was ... Then I heard "Montego Bay" by Bobby Bloom for the first time in about ten years.

NOW I know what the worst song ever really is.

I know it's far too easy to pick on the auto-tune, and I know this is more comical than straight-up bad, but still. I was made to listen to three different versions of this song tonight and the weird wavery chorus part is ear-bleedingly awful. Plus the whole idea behind the thing is ridiculous - it's not "it's my birthday so you should have sex with me," it's "aren't you lucky to be able to do it with me on your birthday?" He even says he's not going to get her a cake! AWFUL.

Made to listen to three different versions?  Emma, you need to reevaluate your circle of friends.

How do you even say that name?

Jeremih is actually pronounced "MYKEshuh"

"YOU SAID YOU WANTED FLOWERS ON THE BED
BUT YOU GOT ME AND I WAS ON A BED"

Are you telling me that women actually don't find that attitude irresistable?

I nominate Sex Bomb by Tom Jones as a pretty bad one (although it got stuck in my head the other day, so I don't know WHAT that says about me...) or "Rockin' The Beer Gut" by Trailer Choir. I cannot think of a worse song than that right now though.

[Steve of Bloomington]

I still think 'Cowboy Star' is a strong contender.

[NotGiamatti]

I nominate Closing Time by Semisonic. Ugh.

That one is pretty craptacular. The drummer of that band wrote a book about his experiences w/ them, which makes it the book I least want to read, behind Mein Kampf and Atlas Shrugged.

[fletcher munson]

I agree with Closing time.

I'd add Freedom by George Michael, and We Are The Champions by Queen - both super obnoxious.

Bohemian Odyssey by Queen is pretty awful also. There really needs to be a 3 minute limit on karaoke night songs.

Queen is atrocious.

But your Yars Revenge avatar is sublime.
