Okay, let's try nominations for the worst song ever recorded. I would like to start things off with a few "UN-favorites" of mine.
Secret Agent Man
In the Year 2525
Leader of the Pack

"I eat cannibals" - Oingo Boingo..... stupid, stupid, stupid!
" Total eclipse of the heart" - Bonnie Tyler
Speaking of Bonnie Tyler, what is it with Karoke and everyone wanting to do that song? Ugggggg!

A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool.

Jana-Toto Cuelo sang "I eat cannibals". I am a HUGE Oingo Boingo fan so I cannot let you sully their reputation :bbg: Danny Elfman is a genius (and married to Bridget Fonda which just goes to show that a geeky guy can get the cute girl!) I am the queen of obscure 80's songs. Does anybody remember Chicken Outlaw???Originally Posted by Jana Lewis

Dont' go dissing Last Kiss. Earth Angel, either.
OOOPS!!!
Sorry Karen.... I just remember the song as being the worst thing I have ever heard!
I think we need to give honerable mention to " Party all the time" - Eddie Murphy. I think we can all agree on that eh? :bbg:

Leader of the Pack, Dead Man's Curve and the primo teenage car/motorcycle accident song: Teen Angel. What a bizarre genre!!!
I can barely remember what I had to eat last night, but this stuff stays with you forever......
Dont' go dissing Last Kiss. Earth Angel, either.
Sorry Robert... any song that talks about your date dying in your arms is just destined for my "worst ever" list. Let's see, songs where people die-
Last Kiss
Bad Bad Leroy Brown
Leader of the Pack
The Year Clayton Delaney Died
Billy Don't Be a Hero
Alone Again (Naturally)
Ironic
Papa Was a Rollin' Stone
I Shot the Sheriff
There must be 100s out there, I suppose...

is cast for "Teen Angel" circa 1966. Heroine dies in car on tracks.......
DEFINITELY NOT to be confused with "Earth Angel" by the Penguins......one of the best golden oldies ever recorded!
Cousin Robert has GREAT taste!

Hang on you are missing the best of the rest.....
WHAT ..... Not one vote for Agadoo
Or what about Star Treking..
Actually, on the topic of songs where people die (but I actually kinda like this song), Ode to Billy Joe is just one of the creepiest songs I've ever heard. I was driving home from our cabin really late one night through the mountains and that song came on and just completely creeped me out for some reason (I listen to it other times with no particular effect, but that particular night...).
Funny story related to that song. When Maria visited the States some time back, she said her mum wanted "a picture of the bridge." I was a bit confused until I realized she had confused Tallahassee with the Tallahache mentioned in the song!

We built this city
I think it was voted #1 by Blender magazine, I second that one.
Pete,
Ironic is a terrible song, I don't recall an example of irony in the whole song, but I guess "coincedence" isn't a great song song title either.
How about "favorite song that everyone else hates"? In my case, that would be Tubthumping by Chumbawumba.
Now Pete, Sheriff John Brown wasn't anybody's date in I Shot the Sheriff. Does that help?
...pissing the night away...
And how about "great songs with really stupid lyrics"?
Polk Salad Annie
Just about every song by Elton John & Bernie Taupin
How about worst artist and song!
Vanilla ICE!
AND how about the song that you loved(and you own it) and now feel dumb that you did!
I bought Pump up the Volume and I have every Village People album. I was young then I must add.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned MacArthur's Park yet. That one sticks to you like a rabid rat with lockjaw!

"Funny Little Clown", "Honey", really anything by Bobby Goldsboro (???) And in a completely different vein, how could we forget Frank Zappa's "Up Against the Wall, Mother******".
Didn't you know that you always get lockjaw when you eat a cake someone left out in the rain! :hammer:
