'What's Up?' and the very worst songs ever
'What's Up?' and the very worst songs ever
The worst song ever. Seriously.
The only problem is, there's nothing much we can say about it. It's just a one-off. It isn't interestingly bad, even.
Or is it?

Aah, the non talents of Grange Hill Mob. I blame Nancy Reagan. The eighties were a real car crash.

Didn't it later emerge that several members of the cast smoked something illegal just prior to recording the video?

Re: I've found it!
"What's Up" is a nightmarish video, mainly because of the wardrobe and the hair/makeup. Those people should be shot. Musically, it's one of the better Guns 'N Roses songs.
"Just Say No" might take the "naffest song" crown, but I kind of enjoyed listening to it!

This line makes me forgive you for using "naffest."
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!
Re: I've found it!
There's nothing terrible about it for the first minute, actually - it's just another example of generic 90s alt-rock. But it quite quickly becomes unbearable from then on.

Yes, once the "oh this is a surefire hit" chorus gets repeated over and over. With that big wide mouth!

I have to agree with John here. Finding bad stuff can be a lot of fun.

Re: I've found it!
other worthy candidates:
Rock Me Amadeus
Cotton Eye Joe
Rasputin
there are more, but I have happily forgotten them
Anyway, Grange Hill Mob make Langley Schools Music Project sound like a heavenly choir in comparison.
