'Blender' Names 50 Worst Songs
[QUOTE]According to Blender Magazine, "Don't Worry, Be Happy," and "Dancing on the Ceiling," may have been catchy tunes and big hits, but they still stink.
The music magazine is publishing its list of the 50 worst songs in its May issue. The songs were selected for "crap-tastic melodies," were poorly performed, or just didn't make any sense to the folks at the magazine.
Starship's "We Built This City," from 1985 topped the list.
"The truly horrible sound of a band taking the corporate dollar while sneering at those who take the corporate dollar," the magazine said of the tune.
Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart" was second, followed by Wang Chung's "Everybody Have Fun Tonight." "If this song was a party, you'd lock yourself in a bathroom and cry," quipped Blender.
Rounding out the top ten worst songs ever are Huey Lewis and the News with "The Heart of Rock and Roll," "Don't Worry, Be Happy," by Bobby McFerrin, Eddie Murphy's "Party All the Time," "American Life," by Madonna and "Ebony and Ivory," the duet by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney.
The post-Sept. 11 anthem "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue," by Toby Keith was Number 22. The magazine says Keith's song was "so vengeful, it makes 'The Star-Spangled Banner' sound like 'Give Peace a Chance.'"
Even The Beatles made the list with "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," which the magazine said sounded like "the desperately chirpy songs Cockneys used to sing to keep their spirits up while the Luftwaffe rained death on them during the Blitz."[/QUOTE]
ok, so what would your top 10 worst song list look like?
The heart of rock and roll... heart of rock and roll..is still beatin'... duh-duh... duh-duh... duh-duh...
shit man, what's wrong with that song?
And dude, I totally loved... we built this city.. we built this city on ROCK and ROLL... built this city... built this city on rock and rooooooooooooolllllll... back in my junior high roller derby days...
I mean it. Fucking wang chung is awesome... fuck blender... those trendy fag-mags are fucking stupid...
The mind is the limit. I am going to be the best personal trainer to ever exist on this earth. I am going to inspire, motivate, and change lives. I have that power. There is not a doubt in my mind that I can make you have an orgasm just from the power of my mind via the internet. I'm a giver like that. I can heal you. I can make you whole. That's Brock. That's what I do. Moving on...
Jeremiah was a Bullfrog wasn't the name of the song, and it wasn't by CCR.
knee-deep in the hoopla...
He's right. It's "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night. And it rocks.
There is hope, but not for us.
#9 is the Cutting Crew, Tobes.
There is hope, but not for us.
Man, they kept talking about this on the radio today. The list sucks, the magazine sucks, and I didn't even mean to have it on that station(97.5), I tried to put on 95.9(London's BEST ROCK!) but I missed.
My list would just be a list would be mostly Country songs that are trying to be about something deep, but the song sucks, so in the end they're just displaying a powerful message with a shitty beat as if to be as effective as running up and yelling, "Breast cancer is bad!"
Then there's the rock songs about rock from rock bands that are new and talk as if they've been rocking forever...forever...for..ever.
yeah man, that Starship song is totally 80s GOLD. stupid hipsters.
well actually they arent even hipsters. wannabe hipsters at best.
i dunno about a top ten but my worst song of all time would have to be
My heart will go on - celine dion
oh my god, die.
ps. i like that cutting crew song! it rulez.
Most of the songs I'd put on my list I don't know the names of or who does them since I turn the radio immediately when I hear them. Mostly Journey/Styx/Night Ranger shit.
But American Pie and Mellancamp's "I Was Born In A Small Town" song are pretty much as bad as bad gets.
It's not easy having a good time.
Even smiling makes my face ache.
I hate the majority of 80s hair metal bands and their rock ballads, but Journey is a band I can stomach. They seemed to be trying to be a bit different than everyone else at the time (poison, ratt, motlet crew and all the rest).
That new song, Tipsy or whatever it's called, hip-hop crap at its worst. I truly deep down think this is by far one of the worst rap songs ever produced. First off, it's by a kid who cant me older than 17 rapping about getting drunk in a club. Secondly, he's ripping of Nelly/Nelly's possie's use of Southern Grammar (or whatever), while at the same time trying rip off 50 Cent's (who is the most over-rated rapper ever) In da Club.
I agree with Celine Dion being on that list, as well.
I'll come up with some more later. My head hurts.
[B]"Don't Worry, Be Happy," by Bobby McFerrin[/B]
Shit, pure shit. The music video too. You know. The one with Robin Williams(RW) acting like an asshole . . . as usual. I cringe when that VH1 Mega hits channel shows it. I can't not watch it. It's like wiping your ass and smelling the shit, just to see how bad your shit smells, but you keep doing it.
why would you keep doing it? i don't think your analogy holds any water. find something better.
It's like picking a scab. You shouldn't pick scabs, but you do it anyway.
After reading American Psycho I like "Don't Worry, Be Happy".
It's not easy having a good time.
Even smiling makes my face ache.
that loveshack song hurts me. the b52s. and that song by 3 doors down.
it's been said already, but worth repeating.
fuck blender. wanna-be playboy. its a fucking band-wagon.
1. Rico Suave by Gerardo (cheesy/annoying)
2. Did you ever love a woman, by someone like Brian Adams or something (sappy)
3. Muskrat Love - The Cpt and Tenille (creepy)
4. Never ever - All Saints (they sounded heavily medicated)
5. Mmm Bop - Hanson (immediately sickening)
6. How do you talk to an angel by ?? (almost makes "Did you ever love a woman" seem profound)
7. Jack and Diane - John Cougar Mellencamp (when his voice goes up when he sings "out behind the Tastee Free-EEEZE" he sounds like such an amateur)
8. The Thong song - Sisqo (repulsive)
9. Are you Jimmy Ray /who wants to know (what the fuck was that anyway? It was like a bad dream)
10. Here comes Santa Claus (ahhhhh!!!!!)
Loveshack is awes.

6- Your Body Is a Wonderland- John Mayer[/QUOTE]
It would have been good if it was called "your booty is a wonderland"
Don't let your ass hit the bed without my hand behind it. I hated this song and I thought John Mayer was a tool. Then I read his contribution to an article in a magazine and he was ok. I thought, well maybe he's a nice guy. His songs still blow. Another one is "Welcome to the real world" and it fits right up there tied to your number 6.

oooh man, i forgot about that song.. so so bad early 90s pop

I'm easily influenced, so I'll agree with everyone else's choices.

It WAS Jamie Walters. He dated Drew Barrymore.

Oh man, I was with you til the last two. You are now dead to me.
There is hope, but not for us.
sorry, but at least 12 movies use RESPECT in their previews a year. It's dead.
and (to me) Marvin Gay is highly over rated. it doenst matter who covers it, or why or in what movie. this one should be buried too.

i like that touch myself song. campy.
[QUOTE=big S]that loveshack song hurts me. the b52s.[/QUOTE]
Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin roof. Rusted. I dig that song, but Rock Lobster is much better.
I also like Joy to the World and the last two on Laz's list as well. But I agree with a lot of people's other picks.
So many songs make my skin crawl and the only damn one I can think of offhand is Uptown Girl by Billy Joel.

Oh I like Uptown Girl, especially the video. It's like a broadway musical, but cheesier, if that's possible.
Laz, you can't blame the song for its overuse. Respect was a good hit and Aretha sang the hell out of it. Just because it's overused, doesn't mean it's not a good song. I almost feel that way about "I Feel Good" by James Brown, but you can't hate on the hot dog just because you don't like the buns.

you would like the b52s. and uptown girl is a great song. take your rock lobster and do something that's just [I]wrong[/I] with it.
rock lobster scared the shit out of me.

Maddie makes a good point for why she likes that song, but I'm not surprised you do as well. As for the rock lobster, you shouldn't set yourself up like that, but I will refrain from saying exactly what [I]wrong[/I] thing I would do with it.

Romeovoid- Never Say Never
If time itself was his demeanor
There'd be no sunlight or a glimmer
Of sunlight landing on the street,
Sunsuit girls must be discreet.
Sunsuit girls must be discreet,
Nursing their fathers locked inside
They masqueraded as his bride
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
But there's something in your eyes that says "maybe"
That's never!
Never say never!
Slumped by the courthouse with windburnt skin
That man could give a fuck about the grin
On your face as you walk by
Randy as a goat
He's sleepin' on papers but
He'd be warm in your coat
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
But there's something in your eyes that says "maybe"
That's never!
Never say never!
There's no easy way to lose your sight
On the street, on the stairs
Who's on your flight?
Old couple walks by
Ugly as sin
He's got her
She's got him
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
I might like you better if we slept together
But there's something in your eyes that says "maybe"
That's never!
Never say never!
Sun seems to move,
Across the sky so slow
It's us who's turning
With nowhere to go
Sun seems to move,
Across the sky so slow
It's us who's turning
With nowhere to go
I might like you better if we slept together

That's never!
Never say never!

I dunno, but I was at the gym and the speaker was going "girls who want boys who want boys who want girls who want boys and their girls and their girls and their boys..." whatever... and it wasn't blur. It was like some new band redoing it... except it sounded much trendier and lame... if that's possible...

all i gotta say is.
ace of base.
any song.
that is all.
Wow. I actually like that Beatles' song. Fuck Blender. Don't worry be happy saved millions of lives.
Worst songs I can think of:
1. Cher - "Do you believe in love" or whatever the fuck that robotic reverb chorus says. That song just makes me ill. It has some kind of creepy sound to it, like the way Cher's checkbones have been chizeled and pulled back to make that voice. It just doesn't sound right. Makes me imagine puking up human flesh while riding a ferris wheel made out of human bones.
2. NIN Fixed - those tracks that sound like his recording studio caught on fire. I hate that shit. Come on. Play some fucking music and stop fucking around. Any band that pulls that shit for the matter. Can't stand it. Who listens to that nonsense? Of course, I'm only talking about those tracks that are just incoherent experimental shoegazer bullshit.
3. Modest Mouse - Sucker Bet - See 2.
4. The Village People - YMCA - What a way to ruin a fucking football game. Having all those people do that YMCA stuff with their arms. Young Men's Christian Association? What's going on here?
5. Vanilla ice - I love You - This is pretty bad. Not the worse, but it just sticks out really bad. Really horrible lyrics. It's as if Ice is trying to whisper in your ear that he loves you, and you can smell his drakkar and hairspray. Really gross song altogether.
6. The Doors - I want to say the song is called American Prayer. I'm not sure. It's a monologue of Jim screaming, saying shit like you can't do something about God, or something. I've been trying to forget that song. Long story. Bad trip dude.
7. CCR - Jeramiah was a Bullfrog - I think I first heard this song when I was a little kid and I had just eaten lead paint chips. You know that toy when you were a kid, you pull the string and the cow says moo or the duck says quack? I feel like someone is pulling a string that's attached to my brain, and I'm croaking like a frog. Lead Paint is bad. If you have a house that was built before the 1950's, watch out.
8. Anything by Creed. They could be the band that ruined music.
9 Aqua - Barbie Girl - About as annoying as a herd of kids circling around you screaming and laughing while you're choking on strawberry flavored bubblegum.
10. Arsenio Hall - Yes. He actually had a song. It was not good.
