has there ever been a dumber song written?

[Kali]

ween - your party :puke:

[LynneSin]

1. Yes - Paul McCartney's "Someone's Knocking on the Door"

Seriously this is the song

Someone's knocking on the door
Someone's ringing the bell
Do me a favor and open the door and let them in - WOOHOO

Rinse & Repeat a bazillion time and you've got the song.

STUPID beyond STUPID

[redwitch]

9. McCartney needs Lennon.

Together they were genius. Separately McCartney is fluffy.

[Iggo]

19. That was more of a musical exercise than a song.

I can't imagine anyone playing that outside of a middle school music room.

[Arugula Latte]

25. I think he should do a follow up:

Someone's sitting on the pot
Someone's going number two
Do me a favor and push the thing and flush it down -- WOOHOO

[Forkboy]

2. Um, pretty much every Top 40 song for the last 3 decades?

[Kali]

3. well yeah

but one hopes NOT to hear such dreck on community radio

during the daytime, mine plays WAY too much...I don't even know what this shit is ... adult contemporary? pop? it sure is nauseating

[Tikki]

4. "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You"....Led Zeppelin

Here you go....

...'baby' to infinity...I'm leaving, I don't want to leave, I'll never leave,....
" You're back :shrug:", Walk through the park (every day!!!)...'baby' to infinity and beyond.


Nice :P

Tikki

[Iggo]

20. Learning that guitar part served me well, though.

Mad ups, Mr Page.

[Richardo]

21. It's 10,378 times *more* annoying when Joan Baez sings it.

:scared:

[NoGOPZone]

27. It wasn't a good song to begin with

and as you say, the singular vocal interpretation didn't help. :thumbsup:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. muskrat love

:shrug:

[Joe Fields]

17. I gotta go with Muskrat Love, too!

:loveya: :hug:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. ice. ice. baby.

[Pool Hall Ace]

7. 'Firework' by Katy Perry

I predict it will be the next Rick-Roll.

[Faygo Kid]

8. "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy I've Got Love In My Tummy."

I don't trust checks. Send my award via money order.

[Ptah]

10. flat foot floogie

Oh, the flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Floy doy, floy doy, floy doy.

Yeah, yeah yeah, byah, oh, baby!
Yeah, byah, byah, oh, baby!
Yeah, byah, byah, oh, baby!
Yeah, byah, byah!

Whenever your cares are chronic,
Just tell the world, "go hang,"
You'll find a greater tonic,
If you go on swingin' with the gang!

Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Floy, floy, floy, yeah!
Send me on out there!

Whenever your cares are chronic,
Just tell the world, "go hang,"
You'll find a greater tonic,
If you go on stumblin' with the gang!
Hey, hey, hey, yes, yes!

[Kat45]

11. "Atlantic City"

I remember Burt Lancaster's character in the movie Atlantic City talking about that song.

[Sugarcoated]

42. The Springsteen song?

How is that a bad song?

[Kat45]

47. No, that's a great song. I'm talking about the movie "Atlantic City"

Where Burt Lancaster's character talked about the song mentioned in the post I replied to.

Sorry about that. I forgot it was a song name as well. Didn't mean to disrespect Bruce's song.

[Sugarcoated]

48. I'll let it go this time

:P

[Brother Buzz]

36. That nonsense song was, in part, the inspiration for the Hut-Sut Song

Written by Leo Killion in 1939 while in law school and became a hit in 1941. His only contribution to the entertainment industry.

The Hut-Sut Song

In a town in Sweden by a stream so clear and cool
A boy would sit and fish and dream when he should have been in school.
Now, he couldn't read or write a word but happiness he found
In a little song he heard and here's how it would sound;

Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla sooit,
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla sooit.
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla sooit,
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla sooit.

Now the Rawlson is a Swedish town, the rillerah is a stream.
The brawla is the boy and girl,
The Hut-Sut is their dream.

Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla, brawla sooit.
Hut-Sut Rawlson on the rillerah and a brawla sooit.

13. Anything Bieber sings, Lady Gag "Poker Face"

Mum mum mum mah
Mum mum mum mah

I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas please
Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me (I love it)
Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh,

P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)

I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be
A little gambling is fun when you're with me I love it)
Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun
And baby when it's love if its not rough it isn't fun, fun
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh,

Two most over-rated 'performers' ever.

[bif]

15. "Horse with no name"

[Sugarcoated]

41. Great song

[Tom_Foolery]

52. Ditto.

[kentauros]

16. MacArthur Park

:P

[kwassa]

31. In love's hot, fevered iron like a striped pair of pants

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead
As we followed in the dance
Between the parted pages and were pressed,
In love's hot, fevered iron
Like a striped pair of pants

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
and I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I recall the yellow cotton dress
foaming like a wave
on the ground around your knees
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
and the old men playing checkers by the trees

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
and I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

(BRIDGE)
There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
and never let you catch me looking at the sun
And after all the loves of my life
after all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one.

I will take my life into my hands
and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes
and I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
and my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
and wondering why.

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
and I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

[brendan120678]

55. I can't stand that song; but...

Weird Al Yankovic's parody "Jurassic Park" is pure gold.

[monmouth]

18. "Winchester Cathedral"....n/t

[Iggo]

59. Oh my gawd, I must've blocked that song out of my memory.

Now I'm whistling it wherever I go.

Dang.

[Iggo]

22. This one.

[BlueJazz]

38. Jesus Christ !...What the Fuck was That !!

:rofl: :rofl:

[Iggo]

46. Am I right or am I right?

:rofl:

[BlueJazz]

49. Damn...It's like the Record Company searched the world over to find,,

...the most No-Talent-mother-fucker ever to walk the earth!
Thanks for posting. I've got to show this to my friends. LOL!

[kentauros]

53. That reminds me of Shooby Taylor, the Human Horn

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm7SKIlyNuU

Although at least Shooby had talent :D

[eyepaddle]

57. Wow, I thought that was the vocal equivalent of those _____ Shreds

guitar videos--you know the ones where the guy takes a video clip and replaces the soundtrack with horrible off key and tempo guitar playing?

Like that, but for the vocal.

[Iggo]

58. I'm told the vocal here is actually a sort of placeholder.

As I understand it, they get all the tracks down and they need to know where the vocal is going to be and how it's going to sound. So he does what he did and he's supposed to lay down the actual vocal track later. This is kind of a "rough draft" in other words. Was never supposed to see the light of day.

(EDIT: Kind of like the "wop-bah-baloo-bop bah-lop bam boom" that's on Tutti Frutti...but different...lol.)

[eyepaddle]

60. Oh, well that makes sense. Plus it sounds pretty different from the rest of the tune

which was kind of a tip-off that something was afoot.

[MilesColtrane]

23. At least there's some kind of narrative going on there, even if it is banal.

This one combines nonsense, designer label shout outs, and infantile sexualization into a fetid, brain damaging musical stew.



"My Humps"

What you gon' do with all that junk?
All that junk inside your trunk?

28. some good (awful) contenders here

I have a headache just reading about them:freak:

[Mike 03]

29. Wow, this is a great question. For starters, "Brick House" by the Commodores.

"More More More" by the Andrea True Connection (falls into the "so bad it's funny" category).

And from the category of "Even the Rolling Stones screw up now and then," the horrific song "I Go Wild" from the album Voodoo Lounge.

[Dulcinea]

30. Weezer-The Sweater Song

Or whatever that dreadful, stupid song is called.

[jobycom]

32. "The Trees."

Whether it's the idiotic lyrics, the Ayn Rand message, or the banal pretension of the writer believing the song profound, it's just plain dumb.

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their please.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

[bookworm65t]

33. Meri Wilson's Telephone Man

Thought it was cool when I was 10. Now it is just plain cheesy.

[Amaril]

34. Fireflies -- Owl City

It's like nails on a chalkboard.



You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and
Stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems

Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach my how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock-hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)


I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

[bluedigger]

35. De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da by The Police

Need I say more?:eyes:

[pokerfan]

39. I am, I said, To no one there

And no one heard at all, Not even the chair

:wtf:

ETA: Dave Barry says that the inspiration to write his Book Of Bad Songs came from one newspaper column he had written regarding songs he didn't particularly care for, which generated such an incredible response that he knew he had tapped into a nerve. The catalyst of all of this was none other than Neil Diamond. Dave writes: "It would not trouble me if the radio totally ceased playing ballad-style songs by Neil Diamond. I realize that many of you are huge Neil Diamond fans, so let me stress that, in matters of musical taste, everybody is entitled to an opinion, and yours is wrong."

He goes on to say: "Consider the song 'I Am, I Said,' wherein Neil, with great emotion, sings: 'I am, I said, to no one there. And no one heard at all, not even the chair.' What kind of line is that? Is Neil telling us he's surprised that the chair didn't hear him? Maybe he expected the chair to say, 'Whoa, I heard that!' My guess is that Neil was really desperate to come up with something to rhyme with 'there' and he had already rejected 'So I ate a pear,' 'Like Smokey The Bear,' and 'There were nits in my hair.'"
