Most evil song ever

[Bossy Monkey]

Poll question: Most evil song ever

Somehow a lot of these seem to be movie themes; can't say why that would be.

For "evil," read "really, really bad"; also these are some of the worst songs to have stuck in your head. I can verify this since I've had all of them using up valuable brain real estate at various points today. Apparently, my brain hates me.

I'm starting with six of these little loves. If you don't find them sufficiently despicable, reply with something worse and I'll add it if I remember to check back within an hour. I'll provide an Other option then, too. (Edit: Obviously (I hope), I made it back and made those changes.)

Dishonorable mention to the Twain atrocity as the worst country song, worst pseudo-wave song, and worst video EVER.

You know, I think folks may mention Rupert Holmes, Starland Vocal Band, or Richard Harris?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

1. You light up my life

[Bossy Monkey]

22. I maybe cut Debby some slack because I always turned it off

I mean ALWAYS. So I only heard it in malls and such, and I was a little young to do much mall-hopping. But farbeit from me to argue against the evilness of this song.

[Plaid Adder]

2. Have you forgotten *MacArthur Park?*

Or *Muskrat Love?*

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[Bossy Monkey]

19. McArthur Park is too hysterically funny to be evil

unless you mean the Donna Summer version...

[Whitacre D_WI]

3. *ahem*

Neeeeeerr, farrrrrrr, whereeEEEEEver you are,
I beleeeeeeve that the heart will... go on.

[Fenris]

5. GACK! That is the winner!

That abortion of a song is the product of Diane Warren's ear-piercing ovum and Satan's demon seed.

[Triple H]

17. I HATE THAT ONE!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Fenris]

4. "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by the Darkness

I feel I will eventually have to buy this record because it stays in my head every goddamn time. I wake up and sure enough, there it is.

For a while I had "Get Your Hands Off My Woman (Motherfucker)" by the same artist in my head. I still don't know whether I like them or hate them passionately.

[Whitacre D_WI]

9. Like them AND hate them!

Have a love/hate relationship with the Darkness, just as I do with the Doors.

[Fenris]

10. Same here

As long as I don't listen to Morrison's lyrics, I enjoy the Doors.

[Waistdeep]

6. Hands down winner

has to be "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall".

You know I'm right.

[BurtWorm]

7. You're Having My Baby.

By Mr. Paul Anka.

(havin' my baby)

ODIA
I'm a woman in love
And I love what's goin' through me

8. It's a tie between anything by Rush or Boston. "Feelings" is second.

Yeah, I know Sheena was a pop creation with mediocre talent, but I had a crush on her before I knew that, so I still have this little warm spot in my, um, heart, for her.

Shania's was too average to be that bad, and Whitney's was a remake of Dolly Parton's twice number one hit, and I love that one, so I cut Whitney some slack.

Why have we forgiven Rick Astley so quickly?

[Fenris]

11. Our Lord Rick forgives YOU, sinner.

[DBoon]

12. God the '70s were awful

Rush and Boston were what made the Ramones sound so refreshing.

Sad, isn't it

[jobycom]

26. No kidding! You think Disco would have sounded good any other time?

[DBoon]

27. Disco? Disco?

I didn't even go near disco in those days. The creaking remnants of progressive rock and aging '60s holdouts were bad enough.

[Zorra]

35. Sad, indeed. Problem here is

there is no real comparison. Rush often plays relatively complex music in various time signatures which requires a high degree of musical talent and competence.

The Ramones always played very simple music, usually only two chords, which almost any beginning musician could play. "Bonzo Goes To Bitburg", complex by Ramones standards, has 5 simple chords in the song.

I like both bands, but....

Rush could probably learn and play every Ramones song ever written in a day and a half. I doubt the Ramones could have learned to play even a relatively simple Rush tune like "Tom Sawyer".

[cleofus1]

54. hey I like rush and the ramones

but good music is not alway the most complex. The Ramones were a better group not becouse they wrote simple songs. The Ramones were great becouse they tapped into the zone and surfed on in...dude.

[MikeG]

13. Sue-Sue-Sudio by Phil Collins.

[Runcible Spoon]

14. just reminded me of that scene in American Psycho

featuring Susudio (sp?). hee!

[MikeG]

15. Remember the giant cell phone he had.

[Shopaholic]

16. Any song by Shania Twain

gets my vote. . .

[Wickerman]

18. ANYTHING by Phil Collins

its all actually the same song. He used the same drum track for the last 25 years. Sometimes he sped it up, sometimes down. Once he added an additional cymbal crash.

[SarahB]

48. I hate that too

Dumbest song ever.

[tjwash]

20. I write the songs that...

...make the whole world :puke:

[mvd]

21. "Who Let The Dogs Out"

Easy. I really like Sheena Easton, Shania Twain, Phil Collins (usually.)

[CrownPrinceBandar]

28. DING! DING! DING!...We have a winner!

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

33. Concur

My nieces still play that POS song whenever I am around. The little shits know it annoys me.

[Deja Q]

23. "Oops I did it again" by Britt-Brat... of course,

anything she's told to sing is pretty much awful...

[bubblesby2002]

24. Here's my choice

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

[Feanorcurufinwe]

25. "You Light up My Life" Debby Boone

With an honorable mention for "Sometimes When We Touch" Dan Hill

[AntiCoup2K4]

29. Celine has a slight edge in putridness over Whitney

...but only because no Michael Bolton "songs" were nominated. :puke:

[JohnLocke]

30. The Macerana <eeee>.

[EstimatedProphet]

31. The WORST

Several on this list are bad, but THE WORST, I think you'll agree...
Puppy Love by Donny and Marie.
EWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

[Zorra]

43. eeeeewww.

:puke:

[VOX]

52. This is bad.

Very bad.

[fudge stripe cookays]

63. Puppy Love was actually only Donny

But "Deep Purple" was both.

Don't ask me why I know this. I'll never confess. NEVER.

[boobooday]

32. Duke of Earl

I'm sorry. I hate that song!

You know, this is a cause of great suffering for some people. There are humans who get what they call a "recursive loop" stuck in their head, and it can go on for YEARS, can you imagine?

In the example I heard, the person was stuck with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."

[Burma Jones]

34. Seasons in the Sun

Personally, I only to sing about death in Latin.

[dwckabal]

38. Sadly, Terry Jacks' "Seasons In The Sun"

is the most popular homage to Jacques Brel, the Belgian crooner who would influence rock 'n' roll in more ways than most Americans would ever know ("Seasons In The Sun" is Jacks' renditon of Brel's "Le Mouribund").

From Alex Harvey, David Bowie, Echo & the Bunnymen and Pulp's Jarvis Cocker, to Marc Almond (Soft Cell), Gavin Friday (Virgin Prunes), Chris Bailey (The Saints) and Momus (aka Nick Currie), Jacques Brel, "straddles rock history like a colossus. He retired in 1967; he died in 1978. But he has never, ever gone away."

"America had Elvis Presley; France had Jacques Brel. But he was more than Presley. He was Presley posessed by the pen of Cole Porter."

(Better To Burn Out, Dave Thompson)

[MisterP]

36. had to go with "Muskrat Love"

it makes me think of toupees in heat: "ee, ee, ee." Though "Heart" is a real stinker, too.

[drumwolf]

37. Some truly evil songs......

"Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus
"I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred
"Barbie Girl" by Aqua
"Rico Suave" by Gerardo
"Who Let The Dogs Out" by Baha Men
"Elvira" by Oak Ridge Boys

...and yes, I have them all in my MP3 collection. They're great to sing when I want to annoy friends or co-workers. :evilgrin:

[hyphenate]

39. Have people really forgotten

the most evil song of all--It's a Small World"?

[AlCzervik]

40. Mr. Roboto

and feelings

[greeneyedpookie]

41. OMG!!!!

The I EE I EE I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOOOOOO (The Bodyguard), Whitney Houston is just sooo overrated it isn't even funny!!! She stole that from Dolly. I just hope that Dolly made a lot of money off of her. (by the way, Dolly sounds 1,000,000 times better than that crack woman) sorry for the rant, however that is how I feel.

GEP

:bounce:

[chaska]

42. Hot Child In The City...

Running wild and lookin' pretty

[camero]

44. Morning Train

cause I always got dirty thoughts about Sheena Easton listening to that song.

[PopSixSquish]

45. My Heart Will Go On!!!

I hate that song. AAAARRRRGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGGGHHHHHHH!!!

Back when Dennis Miller had a funny show on HBO and hadn't gone over to the darkside, he did a magnificent joke about this song during one of his "News of the Week". I hurt myself laughing.

[Zorra]

46. Shake Your Booty, and most late 70's early 80's disco tunes

are tied for this distinction. They were all so stupid.

[Gildor Inglorion]

47. "Cut the Cake" by the Average White Band

It always nauseated me...all those suggestive smacking sounds. *yuck*

[LTR]

49. Have you forgotten "Have you forgotten?"

RW country trash.

:puke:

And an awful history lesson at that.

Has Daryl Whorely done anything else since?

[regnaD kciN]

50. Yes, where is the alternative for you...

You know, I think folks may mention Rupert Holmes, Starland Vocal Band, or Richard Harris?

...if you HATE Pina Coladas?

:argh:

[JVS]

51. Morning train is the most evil song ever!

It is an ode to neverending drudgery. If I were her baby I would take another train and go start a new life among the potato fields of Kaszuby.

[Dogmudgeon]

53. I've Never Been To Me

She'd been undressed by kings, and she'd seen some things that a girl ain't supposed to see. She lamented famously about "being too free". She found Jeebus and made a totally repulsive song about Fascinating Womanhood.

I think she recorded under the nom de merde of Charlene.

--bkl

[Dees]

55. Honey...Bobby Goldsboro

[terrya]

58. "Honey" is the ickiest, most syrupry, most hideous song ever written.

Terry

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

60. To be followed closely by

"Watchin' Scotty Grow"

You know, it's a shame that man was allowed to die a natural death. And just in case he's still alive...

[hippiechick]

56. "Back that a** up", "Milkshake"

:mad: ... or any other song that makes 12 year old boys think that women only have one purpose on the planet.

:hippie:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

57. Celine is Osama Bin Laden in drag. (nt)

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

59. Skyrockets in flight...

Afternoon Delight.
A-A-Afternoon Delight!

[noonwitch]

61. I gotta go with Whitney

She's got a good voice, but overkills her songs by drawing out notes too long.

[FunBobbyMucha]

62. Midnight at the muthaf#$%ing Oasis.

AAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGGG!

[fudge stripe cookays]

64. That bleeping "Lion Sleeps Tonight" monstrosity

I HATE that stupid o-wee-mo-way crap.

The only giggles I ever got from it was when they had Marcel on "Friends" and he kept playing it.
