Worst songs of all time
-
I was looking up websites which list the worst songs of all time, and strangely enough I didn't see any songs by Meatloaf on any of them. Meatloaf..... Uhg! "I'd lie for you and that's the truth, if you just believe in me...." ("And now how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it." - Hamlet) Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.
On the first one, you have at least 2 songs by Meatloaf... I vote pro drink :beer:

How about 'I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that)' ? Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little. "I'm thinking of getting married for companionship and so I have someone to cook and clean." - Martin Marvinski, 6/3/2002

They missed "Sugar, sugar" by the Archies, everything done by the Monkees, Disco, everything done by that christian heavy metal group (Stryker?), about half the beach boys songs, everything by Barbra Striesand (sp?), every record put out by some has-been hack that is offered through TV ads, and a whole lot more that is too painful even to think about. I'd like to get the lyrics to "In the year 2525", just to see how many of the songs perdictions are already passe.

It all depends on you opinion of "bad music". I actually like some of the songs you listed. (Emphasis on the word some.) On the other hand there are hundreds of thousands of even worse songs that fortunatley never made it to the recording studio, or radio waves. That might make an interesting radio program, "Rejects from the record company's unsolicited submission bin." Certain songs swing so far around on the bad-ometer, that they turn out to be "so bad they're good", in a comical sort of way. We listen to them with the same fascination with which we slow down to look at a tragic car accident as we pass. All forms of art have examples in this category I suppose.

There is plenty of sonic vomit being put out by record companies. We don't need to look what's been spewed onto demo tapes or left in the recording studio. I personally cannot stand insipid bubble gum rock, which is much of the "lite-rock" that was churned out over the past 40 years. I would much rather listen to meatloaf than some candy ass singing about true love making everything alright. Of course I mostly listen to techno / trance, so what do I know?

The single worst song of all time has got to be Macarthur Park. Someone left the cake out in the rain 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 Ugh. Second worst song has got to be "Let 'Em In" by Paul McCartney. Someone's knocking at the door Somebody's ringing the bell Someone's knocking at the door Somebody's ringing the bell Do me a favor, open the door and let 'em in Great.. now I have THAT in my head... -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

no no! Please not that! I'll say it wasn't mentioned because no one could bear the thought of thinking about Celine Dion or Whitney Houston as viable music choices :) James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "Smile your little smile, take some tea with me awhile.

I'm surprised that "Umbacaraja" by the Dave Clark Five didn't come up. It was far worse than any of those listed on the site. One meaningless "word" repeated over and over accompanied by an equally monotonous alleged tune... Gaggggg...

I have to disagree. MacArthur Park is a pretty cool song. You just gotta listen to the lyrics. It's a song about the perfect day with the perfect girl, so perfect that it almost seems like a dream, and how, once such days are gone, they're gone forever, and you will only ever experience them again in your memories. :(( Of course you have to dig a little bit into the poetic symbolism, but once you look at it that way it makes perfect sense. Plus the solo at the end ROCKS! I wish people still put that much work into their music. :cool: Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

I've gotten it down to an art! I award myself points according to the degree of annoyance the song holds for the person who gets it into their head. :laugh: The trick is to quietly hum the tune, so quiet they almost don't even notice, and then 3.5 minutes later: "She's a superfreak! She's super freaky! What!?! How'd I get that in my head!?!" "Score! 50 points!" :laugh: Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.
