Okay, so what's the most boring, unoriginal song you've ever heard?

[Zavulon]

I just heard a song called "This is How a Heart Breaks." I don't know who does it and certainly don't want to waste the time looking it up, but this is the most boring, unoriginal song I can ever remember hearing - especially the chorus. Holy shit, at first my jaw was dropped to the floor, but as the song went on and the chorus came on for the second or third time I was laughing - and not in a good way.

How about the rest of you? I'm not talking about songs you necessarily hate, just ones that stun you with their lack of anything original.

1. Nothing specific right off the top of my head. Anything by Korn

or Limp Bizkit makes me yawn though.

[mvd]

3. Agreed

:hi:

[mvd]

2. Off the top of my head..

Katharine McPhee's "My Destiny." Even boring for AI. I hope the record company knows how to nurture her talent.

[Miss Marmelstein]

4. "Let the Eagle Soar"

What a piece of shite that song was! :puke:

[Broken_Hero]

5. Anything by Britaney Spears,

Nysnc, 98 gazillion degree's, backstreet bumpkins....mandy moore...bleh.

[Floogeldy]

6. And what songs have you written and recorded?

Let's compare.

[Elidor]

7. Pretty much anything by Nickelback

With the added bonus of being offensive as well.

[Rowdyboy]

8. The year was 1968....the "artist", Bobby.....

Goldsboro. The winning song....

"Honey"

(Bobby Russel)

See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show

And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that I'd be mad
But what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly
In the middle of the day
And it was in the early Spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
She went away

And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

One day while I was not at home
While she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have is memories of Honey
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
That Honey loved

And see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig

[Floogeldy]

9. Great song!

It is a metaphor, or an analogy, or some shit like that.

;)

[Rowdyboy]

12. The flip side was even worse (if possible)

"Watching Scottie Grow".

I swear, I'm almost certain that this dreck was the flip side of the single (which I owned as a 14 year old boy with NO musical taste).

Here are the lyrics...

There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
What a handsome lad
That's my boy
BRLFQ spells mom and dad
But that ain't too bad
That's my boy
You can have your TV and you nightclubs
And you can have your drive in picture show
I'll stay here with my little man near
We'll listen to the radio
Biding my time and
Watching Scotty grow
Making a castle out of building blocks
And a cardboard box
That's my boy
Mickey Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock
Well that's quite a shock!
That's my boy
In four short years
I've gone from rags to riches
And what I did before that I don't know
So let it rain on my windowpane
I got my own rainbow
And we're sitting here shining
Watching Scotty grow
Riding on daddy's shoulders off to bed
Old sleepy head
That's my boy
Got to have a drink of water and a story read
A teddy bear named Fred
That's my boy
What's that you say momma
Come on and keep you feet warm
Well save me a place
I'll be there in a minute or so
I'll think I'll stay right here and
Say a little prayer before I go
Me and God
Watching Scotty grow
Me and God
Watching Scotty grow...

[Floogeldy]

15. Stupid kid.

Everyone knows that BRLFQ spells barbecued lamb and fried quesadillas.

[Rowdyboy]

17. Huh? I though BRLFQ meant "bacon/radish/lamb/fennel quiche...."

It sounded so contemporary.

Actually, a barbecued lamb and fried quesadilla sounds pretty damned tempting.

[WCGreen]

10. Anything by Toby KKKieth....

[Floogeldy]

11. It is amazing that he seems to sing on key.

His voice sounds terrible. And I do not believe that he actually writes those stupid songs.

On second thought . . . .

;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. 'Happy Birthday'

Lotta thought went into that sucker, huh? :eyes:

[Floogeldy]

14. wHY dO yOU hATE gOD?

:puffpiece:

[Emops]

16. "No Matter What" by Badfinger

I realize it's a "classic" of sorts but I find it so bland and unoriginal.

[hfojvt]

18. almost anything by

Paul McCartney

[mykpart]

19. God Save The Queen

[saltpoint]

20. The Hokey-Pokey Dance, or anything by Donovan or Toby Keith.

I've always thought the Haydn Piano Sonata in E-flat was a dreary mess.

Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" is ok if heard once; played over and over, it becomes lethal. At a funeral recently, it was played so many times consecutively as folks filed out that I was ready to become a smack addict. On ceaseles repeat, it reveals itself to be one of the least imaginative compositions ever.
