The worst song you ever heard

Submitted by heartskat on 31 May, 2007 - 20:40.

And I am here talking about lyrics because there are so many songs with dreadful music. Those lyrics can be political but not only.

An example and a bit of french "culture": for me one of the worst song ever written would be " Je suis pour" by Michel Sardou. Translation: "I am for" a song in which Michel explains us why he is for the death penalty.
And here for the people of the North of the isle of Ireland ( I hope I did not offend anyone), Michel has the solution for peace in a great song called "Les lacs du Connemara" where Michel explains that people will find peace when they will be more christian " when the irish people will make peace around the cross". Here Michel there's something you don't know: you just offended a good number of what you call irish people. Thank you very much Michel, it is exactly what Northern Ireland ( I offended someone there) needs: more christianity. Maybe they should unite against the sarasins? Is that the idea, Michel?

I almost hate to say it, since the band just got beaten up by Russian fascists, but I'm too sexy has to be one of the worst things ever recorded

303 by Kula Shaker is a lyrical disaster.

Quote:
Because I got my stash and I love my hash,
Yeah got my stash.. Think I'll grow myself a big ol' hairy moustache.

What is this, word association in a special school?

The award for most cringeworthy political lyrics has to go to the Manic Street Preachers. FFS, they even have a song called Socialist Serenade, containing the lyrics:

Quote:
This is a socialist serenade
Yes I have money but I hate champagne

and

Quote:
Change your name to New
Forget the fucking Labour

Priceless.

He was only around 17 when he wrote it, but yeah lame lyrics right up there with some of Oasis's lyrics.

Me worst song Wuthering Heights either Kate Bush's or Angra's version

you guys probably wont know of them, but this one god-awful song by "Nosferatu," called "Sucker for Love" (or "your love," cant quite remember).

"miss brown your blood tastes oh-so great
"you know i'd like to excavate
"every little thing alive or dead
"to get inside your mortal bread
"i'm just a sucker for your love
"great liquid delivered from up above
"out of your veins into my mouth
"and back again."

songs dont get much worse than that cry

though hearing "Inkubus Sukkubus" singing poppy perky songs about wiccan crap certainly comes close.

At the risk of getting the SolFed expelled from the IWA, I'd have to say that it's Europe's The final countdown.

oh man david, you couldnt be more wrong smile
any song written by J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.) is definitely up on my list. his rhymes are soooooo forced, but that gives them their charm and that is JUST the lyrics, his songs on the whole are kickass. I'll tell you what song i hate with a deep passion is Hotel California... god i hate it sooo bad

You can just tell he's a cock by ½ of his name, no?

rammstein "du hast". so not close.

a few years ago one couldn´t even escape it by flying halfway around the world, because apparently a lot of people who didn´t understand the lyrics thought it was quite a catchy tune

you
you have
you have asked
you have asked me
you have asked me and i didn´t say anything

do you want til death does part you be true to her for all the days?

(sky-high elven-like female voice) yeeehehehehes
(male voice that sounds like a punch in the stomach) no!
yehehehes
no!
yehehehes
no!

towards the end of the song there´s this totally sophisticated play on words that makes "do you want til death does part you" into "do you want til the death of the vagina"

wall

besides that they´re also in the race for worst political song, i guess the video says it all
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w9EksAo5hY

music comes out of the white house
in front of paris stands micky mouse
we´re all living in america
coca-cola, wonderbra

that´s multiculturalism in action!

mind sex by dead prez (if that's what it's called been i while since i heard it, you know the one though) has to be one of the worst. also, most black metal lyrics are either shit or hilariously ridiculous, although as you can't understand them due to the screaming and grimming it thankfully doesn't detract from the music. or if you don't like bm, unthankfully.

and i agree about the manics, their lyrical standard took a pretty severe nose dive after richey wasn't there to tell nicky they were shit anymore. plus james seemed to have lost his knack for making lyrics fit when they really shouldn't be able to, the classic being "i know i believe in nothing but it is my nothing" managing to fit in one line.

Ok, that's it. You are out.

I won that caraoce fight you know. Ok, my oponent was really drunk and bad, but I won!

1 June, 2007 - 11:52

i think that CNT bloke was the clear winner that evening, shame he couldn't read english, would've been good to hear him singing the final countdown!

There's that shakira song 'whenever, wherever' with the lines

"Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains"

not that this is the worst song ever, by any means, in fact i quite like it, but those are some funny lyrics

1 June, 2007 - 11:53

ok, the CNT-F ("Vignoles") should ask to rejoin the IWA. They sound like fun now and their secretary is into karaoke contests! Maybe we should have played the 1996 expellation at a karaoke contest too

1 June, 2007 - 11:57

I bet the SAC do a mean ABBA karaoke as well.

I don't think that would help at the time, Rua is mighty good performer of "The show must go on" Queen thing.

=;))) Ok, this is going too far, I'll stop it now.

This is brilliant.

As I understand, most of the swedes hate ABBA. Which is a pitty, as they are one of my favorit bands...

Bah, I'm sitting here in some internet cafe waiting for some comrades to pop up, and can not stop posting stupid comments on libcom. I should be shot.

Mind Sex is FINE when you compare it to 'Be Healthy', which is a couple of tracks after on the album. It's their vegan anthem. "Lental soup is mental fruit" is just hideously brilliant.

nah, thats a heavy tune! Reminds me of junior school - we'd all change the lyrics to what we thought it was naughty to be 'too sexy' for, in reflection very innoccent stuff, and totally oblivious to the how much we were freaking out the teachers by saying we were sexy.

No sorry not allowed. Its a great song.

The worst song i ever heard was probably 'Rollin' by limp bizkit. The amazing thing is how completely genuine he was, he utterly utterly beleived in his image. The video is beyond comprehension - pimped out rides bouncing around to nu metal.

Apalling.

ETA - and the later debacle with britney spears said it all. Its not so much a bad song as an entire disaster area of a life. What a cock --> http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/125834

Its genius! What is it with this thread missing the point of tongue in cheek music? You can't knock stuff for being intentionally silly its like saying 'i saw a stand up comedian the other night and he sounded like his life was a right shambles and he stumbled from one humiliating crisis to another'. Its intentional ffs.

fucking cracking tune - and the video shows how again, its not to be taken at face value, as does what they have said in interview.

Rammstein are awful, thats fine, i'll admit that, but at least attack them for being gash musically. Their intentional humour and theatrics are the only acceptable part.

You're wrong, and you're a grotesquely ugly freak.

Oh god I can't STAND Mind Sex. It seems patronizing to me. Goes with the "Feminist Chicks Dig Me" t-shirt, in my mind. Plus, hello, sometimes women WANT to have sex. Enough talk.
