The worst song ever?

Not a "bad" song (singing wise) but its a bit.... paedophilic

Every time I hear the song "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen I reach for my revolver.

Jose Feliciano covering The Doors:

Composer Jimmy Webb on "MacArthur Park" lyrics:

"I've also tried to tell the truth, which is that it's just a song about a girlfriend of mine, Susie Horton, and this place on Wilshire Boulevard where we used to have lunch, which is called MacArthur Park.

And the truth is that everything in the song was visible. There's nothing in it that's fabricated. The old men playing checkers by the trees, the cake that was left out in the rain, all of the things that are talked about in the song are things I actually saw.

And so it's a kind of musical collage of this whole love affair that kind of went down in MacArthur Park."

No way that song"Honey" by Bobby goldsboro has that beat hands down

Thank you very much.
Wow, been a while since I actually watched it.
Part of me feels shame for knowing this and referencing it. The other part of me is cackling like a demon in Hades. So torn...
Thanks for that assist again.

His prose is incredible huh?
Lyrical powerhouse, that tune.

The production is dated but there's a lot of good things going on here.

To each his own but this is far from the worst song ever.

I will not post G.G Allin in this thread because in general I enjoy participating at ATS.

I'm not judging you, but it's a strange reaction. Do you have a traumatic memory you associate with the song?

Since no one else got to it yet:

Lol! You win hands down! That is actually painful.

Here's one that used to spam the boards on a regular basis. I will always remember. It showed up on my profile page, and in my PM box. It wouldn't die. lol.

(btw, I used to have six or seven pages of greetings and comments on my profile page. I come back for a look, and they have all vanished like a UFO as soon as somebody runs for their camera.)

I know this one is somewhat popular and some folks like it, they're all idiots. It's the worst, most annoying, ear raping song to have ever made the charts.


The damn Swedes ruin things, that much is well known, but this band and particularly this song represent the pinnacle of suck for Sweden's contributions to life.

"It's the fee-yai-null cyount-dyown" sung like the man had his scrotum locked in an ever tightening vice accompanied by a GD electronic keyboard that's been tuned octaves too high. It stinks and I don't like it.

There are may "older" songs that are pretty awful and lyrically challenged, if not stupid.

However, today's charts are stuffed to the rafters with utter rubbish, with lyrics are offensive and inane at the same time. I am sure I could create a list, but I won't inflict that on anyone.

Anyway, the Number 1 single in the UK at the mo has this lyrical masterpiece randomly plucked out...

"With me and the missus be going on dates
She's holding the dipper
I'm holding her waist
Just see some pigs moving low in the mainz
So I phone up my nigga and told him the plate"

Confession time:

I listen to this stuff....when I am alone....and I am sure nobody can hear.

I also tend to listen to Cinderella, Poison, Bon Jovi and every other 80's big hair band

I am sure with the help from you guys I can kick this....

Peace

There's so many these days this thread could go on forever -

This would reach the semi-finals in any 'worst song ever' tournament.

I usually defer to Harris' "live performance" on Mel's Rockpile, whenever There is mention of the song.



A wonderful and exhausting rendition!




There is also and extended version if you need more.
I think the body language enhances the song, helping to define the story behind the lyrics.
