Worst song ever - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian · 04-20-2004, 06:56 PM

I was listening to my favorite radio station this morning and they mentioned that Blender Magazine came out with their list of the worst songs ever created. The host this morning asked the listeners to call in a song that they think is bad enough to be called the worst song ever. I did this myself, calling in "Brand New Key." Of the songs in the poll in the below link, which do you think are the worst songs? If you can, post your opinions, choices, and reasons that you agree or disagree with song choices that you feel shouldn't have made the poll. I know there are some on there that made me go, "What?"

Yeah, that Tiny Tim song "Tiptoe Thru The Tulips " (which is winning in the votes) is pretty bad. Actually REALLY bad. That and Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" are on the top of my list. McFerrin's song happens to be number 2 on the list too.

Some of the other songs really don't deserve to be up there.

That Blender list was horrible.

Probably written by some music snobs who can't stand top 40 radio.

robyrob · 04-20-2004, 08:29 PM

i voted for Macarena (

)

Turning Japanese, The Joker, Kung Fu Fighting, shouldn't be on there

Dean Winchester · 04-20-2004, 08:51 PM

that Blender list is terrible.

WE BUILT THIS CITY the worst song ever?!?!?! I can see where it's not making any "best song ever" lists, but how is it the worst song of all time? I think it's a fun little song. Where's all the rap?

Brian · 04-20-2004, 09:19 PM

If you're talking about the list in the link it isn't the Blender Magazine list. These were submissions by KOOL listeners.

Dean Winchester · 04-20-2004, 09:26 PM

I disagree with these "KOOL" choices

Carly Simon - You're So Vain
Donna Summer - MacArthur Park
Air Supply - Lost In Love
Rod Stewart - Da Ya Think I'm Sexy (pure guilty pleasure)

why have people ignored these on Blender and KOOL?
Jennifer Lopez - Jenny From The Block (the most banal lyrics ever written)
Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca
basically any Twista, 50 Cent, Fabolous, Ja Rule song
Yoko Ono - Don't Worry Kyoko (I am a fan of hers, but there is no defending this lame song)

I haven't read the list yet but I love that song.

Steve M. · 04-20-2004, 10:11 PM

"You're Havin' My Baby" is the worst song of all time (with "Justify My Love" a very close second!

).

Why no rap on Blender's list? Political correctness!

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 04-20-2004, 10:25 PM

A lot of those songs I never even heard of but Ain't No Sunshine!!!?? OMG, whoever said that is the worst song is NUTS! I love Bill Withers!!

Steve M. · 04-20-2004, 10:56 PM

They have "You're So Vain," "Little Willy," and "Yellow Submarine" on this KOOL-FM ballot! Are these guys crazy? I mean, what the

?

That's what I was thinking? When I heard a caller submit "You're So Vain" I thought, "What???" I also disagree with Yellow Submarine. That's a cool song.

I voted for MacArthur Park. Man I hate that song, but I've only heard Richard Harris's version.
