Worst Songs Ever!!!

Postby cubby » Tue Oct 05, 2004 9:44 pm

A radio station I sometimes listen to is playing back their listeners favorite songs of all time. I would like to know the opposite. Your all time worst/hated songs.

My Top 10 (in no order)

Jennifer Lopez-Jenny From the Block-Does anyone really believe this ego-maniaical diva still connects with her humble roots?

Britney Spears-Oops, I Did It Again-I would pick all her songs if I could

Mariah Carey-Fantasy-For trashing the Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love"

Culture Club-The War Song-The worst new wave song

Limp Bizkit-Nookie

Will to Power-Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird-Does anyone else remember this horrible drivel from the 80's

Aqua-Barbie Girl

Eiffel-Blue

Meredith Brooks-Bitch

Peppar Meshay-Dive in the Pool-If you are gay, you may have heard this one. Utterly irritating

This is a bit of an off-topic stretch-but the German Version of Buzz Clifford's "baby-sittin' boogie" is the one song that can cataully make my skin crawl.

It's a long complicated story as to how I know of this wretched song's existence.

Way too many to list!!!

"Rick Derringer - Real American (Hulk Hogan Theme Song)"

An 80's song, I only seen/heard this song recently on VH1 and I got to agree with them this time, bad song & video.

Many of the actor turned singer types are bad. I

I orignally put this on <a href="http://www.geocities.com/savethewave">my website,</a> but it applies here, I think.

These are all songs/artists that I find so loathsome, so utterly beneath contempt, the songwriting so puerile and hackneyed that I woul

Man, I forgot about Charlene - actually, if you ever see the picture of her on her LP cover, the song title seems to drift to I've Never Been In Her........then it gets really sad.

These songs have always made me want to: jam a pencil in my ear, tie a string around my tooth and tie the other end to a doorknob and SLAM the door, or maybe some jackhammer action to the head [}:)]:
