worst song ever II - STOP IT RIGHT NOW

[Bungo the Mungo]

Eye Of The Tiger? Are you kidding? It's a soft rock, film theme, frightwigged triumph!!

...and here's me thinking that this piece of 'art' already had been nominated 20 times... not reading a thread does have its charms...

Stuff like 'Eye of the Tiger' is too obvious, it's the kind of thing we're meant to think is bad. But I agree with Polishgirl, it's actually pretty good at what it does. I'm sure many of us secretly find it quite rousing ( and I'd put 'Final Countdown' along with that too).

'Eye of the Tiger' is great.

I worry that we 'allow' 'The Final Countdown' for some strange reason to do with '80s authenticity', tho' - surely there's some sort of absolute measure of badness?

On second thought, I tend to agree. EOTT 'targets' a certain audience, and certainly is not rubbish at that. Indeed, 'too obvious' is the term... I could, of course, have nominated James Last, but there are many millions of people who are happy with that quite mechanical brass sound of his, and who am I too poke fun at them?

I think I nominated Bonnie Tyler and Survivor because they often showed up in such polls in the past.

What about this, then (paging GoogaMooga!)?

[algroth]

Not sure if anyone's mentioned these, but...

Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder - "Ebony & Ivory"
Michael Jackson - "Heal The World"
Michael Jackson - "You Are Not Alone"

[algroth]

Damn, that's awful. Here's another:

[Minnie the Minx]

Too little too late, but how about these faux-Cockney disasters?

Stay Free - The Clash

Jim Diamond - Should Have Known Better

" I should have known better, to lie to one as boooootiffffull as you..."

Yes. Yes, you should. Now fuck off and take your whinging, pained and painful "song" with you...

D'yknow when I first heard that line I thought he was singing in French:

En choud de n'an petre!

[naughty boy]

Every time we do this I post the Charlene & Stevie wonder duo that actually is the worst song ever. But since we are clearly looking for the next worse, allow me to nominate "Panic" by the Smths and "Karn Evil #9, Third Impression"

All of those ore far worse than anything Mark Knopfler could manage.

Oh dear.

[naughty boy]

Anyway - this:

[never/ever]

Is it worse than this?

[naughty boy]

Jesus, I don't know. They're both stunningly bad.

Good to know that even after 6 years Davey is still wrong.

[clive gash]

For a start "Ask", that jaunty shite, is far worse than "Panic".

[naughty boy]

Very much so.

Slider loves it, unfathomably.

Has anybody mentioned Breakfast At Tiffanys by Deep Blue Something?

[BARON CORNY DOG]

Has anybody mentioned Breakfast At Tiffanys by Deep Blue Something?

I was gonna to ask the same about any Blues Traveller song, but "Deep Blue Something" is particularly noxious.

Anyway - this:

Snobs.

This was a key dance tune for me & my friends, way back then.

'Keine Atempause, Geschichter Wird Gemacht!!!'

I still can play the guitar chops to perfection.

BCB is losing it.

[Minnie the Minx]

Thanks to Goat Boy, I am now familiar with 'Galway Girl' by Ed Sheeran, and I will probably nominate that

[Goat Boy]

The rap! The fucking rap!

This might explain why I have had a constantly nagging feeling in the last few days that there is some inexplicable evil out there that I've been ducking and avoiding. Stay away from me, evil thing!
