Songs Which Suck or You're Sick Of

[blunthead]

This thread is a place to deposit the worst songs ever and/or those which might have been good but have been overplayed to the point that one need never to hear them again. Then the thread can be deleted so we never have to hear these songs ever again. I'll start...

Going back to the '60s and '70s, the list is too long.

"Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro and "Julie" by Bobbie Sherman come to mind, but they're random appearances. There's an army of choices out there that are earworms that make me go Nooooooooooo..... when they spontaneously combust in my consciousness.

I agree with that, but I would include pretty much all of bubblegum. (I already mentioned "Julie" by Bobby Sherman, right?) But speaking of that song:

Yummy, yummy, yummy
I got love in my tummy and I feel like a-lovin' you
Love, you're such a sweet thing, good enough to eat thing
And it's just a-what I'm gonna do

How did they get away with that??

If we could erase the catalogs of Britney Spears, every boy band ever, and every disco song ever I'd be a happy SwiftDog............

One of the ways my friends used to annoy me was to sing this bloody song. It is like an actual drill going into my eardrum.

Well, the worst song of all time has been sometimes declared to be "McArthur Park" as done by Richard Harris - but doggone if I don't like it.

For pure stupidity, I'd go with "? and the Mysterians" and "96 Tears." I don't think it used more than three notes, and I have no idea why one would cry 96 tears.

Mildly confessional: When Grandma and I were dating, we went to a concert by the Ides of March. Their signature popular song was "Vehicle," which was a creepy kind of thing.....

BUT they were excellent! Great brass section. They did a send-up of bubblegum that was hilarious. And they just put forth really good music. The lead singer sang (obviously), and did some dance moves, and got the crowd going, and played his guitar. With the loathsomeness of "Vehicle" aside, they put on a really good show.

Okay, okay, this is a thread about bad songs. "Butterfly of Love" was tragically overreaching, and Neil Diamond's "I Am Me," or, "I am I," or, "I Am Myself," whatever it was, was a dreckslog.

This song isn't bad, but it got played out pretty fast.
My problem with today's pop/rock genre is that these songs get overplayed and they don't really become a part of the culture like rock hits used to.

To my mind this song is defined by the the thread title.
It sucks and I got sick of it very quickly!
Would you believe it got to number 2 in the UK Top 40 in 1981.

What is this sh*t ????

Oh, wait, it's written by an Australian ?

I mean, it's a masterpiece. Perennial classic.

I actually really like this song!

Agreed! Add rap to that also.

"Say You, Say Me," by Lionel Richie. Horrible. Just horrible. The stupidest song of all time, stupid lyrics, crummy melody. I have never listened past the opening notes unless by force in a doctor's office.

 

[FlakeNoir]

I actually really like this song!

Bobby is Dana Jean's 'special' too....

Most of the songs in this thread drive me a lil bit crazy. *shudder*
