Oh Christ, I'd take the money in a heartbeat. I'd have the lyrics tattooed on my ass if they paid me enough.

The song that really gets on my tits is Three Lions by Skinner and Badiel. England loose all the time. Get used to it. England cannot win a game it invented take up net ball as the national sport and leave the other counties in the UK alone when a World Cup is on.

Hey! That song is a deep introspective look into the life of Barbie!

[jingle]
I'm a Barbie Girl
In a Barbie World.
Everything is plastic
It's fantastic.
You can touch my hair
Undress me everywhere
[/jingle]

jk

That could be the anthem for Hollywood.

Spain 1986 and IIRC we got further than England.

Besides how are we suposed to get a good team when the catholic players refuse to play for us or defect to the Republic.

Well... I was going to nominate "Disco Duck"...

But Barbie Girl wins top spot, and I'm going to kill everyone that quoted lyrics cause it's stuck in my skull now.

Yeah, I'd take Steve Miller's advice.

Besides.....I could do another album down the road.

Are you implying there's good Scandanavian rap?

hmmmmm lily white rappers from wealthy nordic countries, doesn't that violate the laws of physics or something?

Scandanavia seems too clean and orderly for rap. Eminem is lily white, but he's from Detroit.

You have not lived until you've heard a Christmas Reggae cover of a Backstreet Boys song. Backstreet Boys is bad enough, but a 2nd rate underground reggae band doing a christmasy version of their songs is just horrible beyond belief.

I'm vaguely disturbed that I know that. I hate the song, obviously, since I have it out for Barbie girls.

Maybe you're reffering to the band that did a parody of the song, The Aquabats. "I'm a Ugly Girl, my face makes you hurl..." Equally annoying, if you ask me. But it earns points for the whole mocking of the worst song of all time thing.

No, she's referring to Aqua, the band that did the original song.

Afternoon Delight, by the Starland Vocal Band. You think it's this cute little song, but it's really about two people fucking in the afternoon, but it still sucks inflamed donkey balls.

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight

Those are real lyrics. I couldn't make up something that stupid.

I'm with you. They're fun enough to dance to (and watch women dance to...) and Aqua never seemed to take themselves seriously at all.

As for worst song.

I'm going to go with those cats that meowed out Jingle Bells.

As sad as it is, I think I have my first poll entry. Now all I need are a few more. Otherwise, I'm just going to be depressed about it. And banging my head against hard objects trying to get that damned song out of it.

*Blank look* And for all these years, I never thought to look closely at that song. Well, not that I needed those brain cells . . .

There are a few songs on the radio nowadays that I believe I could compose better if I banged on pots and scratched a chalkboard with a clawed glove. Most of it's crap by third-rate rap/pop artists.

And, now that I look back on it, I'd say "Barbie Girl" wins my vote.

Wow. That's really bad. Really, really bad. Not even in a fun way.

For me, some of the worst songs are bad cover songs. I know why people do them, sometimes it's the best way to get played on the radio when you're an unknown, but I hate bad covers, especially when the song was done 'right' the first time.

Man, those lyrics above are really bad. I'm going to go brush my teeth...

OH, remember this fucking piece of aural shit?

LFO - Summer Girls

New Kids on the Block had a Bunch of Hits
Chinese Food Makes Me Sick
And I think its fly when girls stop by for the summer (for the summer)
I Like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch
I'd take her if I had one wish
But she's been gone since that Summer

Totally agree. I even bought the album.

Worst song? Prolly anything by Limp Bizcuit (except "No Sex") or that utterly abominable Linkin Park remix album. It's like the old one wasn't bad enough or something?

Was it Des'ree that did this song:

i dont' want to see ghost
That's the thing that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
Watch the Evening news

Well the most annoying piece of music for me is Sherry Lewis....

I'm sorry, once it get's started, it's too repetative, and everyone knows the lyrics by heart.

Begin Clawing your ears out

This is the song that never ends. It goes on and on my fiends. Some people started singing it. Not knowing what it was. And the'll keep on singing it forever just because. Theis is the song that never ends.
