The Worst Song You've Ever Heard

If there were a song titled "Pussy Cow" it would make me laugh because pussy cow always makes me laugh.

MOIST VAGINA by Nirvana. On their In Utero album, it was the B-side of "All Apologies". I did not accept the apology.

Vibeology by Paula Abdul.

In the Year 2525

Whip It by Devo

Big Sean's I Don't Fuck With You.

There you go:

"Basketball Jones"

Horrible earworm

It's a 2-way tie between this:

and this:

I heard somewhere that Nillson's song "Lime in the Coconut" was supposed to be about an acid trip he had been on.

Bye Bye American Pie and the fucker just never ends.

Any song that's been thoroughly mutilated by Bearforce One.

And still sizzling under the Hot 100, Los del Rio's MACARENA!

Shimmy Shimmy Coco Bop

"Aserejé," Las Ketchup:

Body and Soul - Manhattan Transfer

It's the anti-melody

I of course didn't include rap among the choices since it's not music and therefore can't constitute a song.

There's this...

"Holiday Road" by Lindsey Buckingham

Hands down, it's this...

And I HATE gaybys who think this song is hilarious or (even worse) anthemic.

The Christmas Shoes will always win this contest....always

That AZIS clip is pretty hot, R17!

Where the hell did you find that r17? Hilariously awful.

Barbie Girl was social satire. I think it's a cute little song but it obviously rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

It's gonna be the best day of your fucking li-i-i-i-fe.

Sweet caroline. FUCKING HATE IT

“Feelings” by Morris Albert

This

Somebody Left the Gate Open!!

I believe it was comedy writer Michael O'Donoghue who said that "Hey, Look Me Over" is the worst song ever written. I think he may have a point.

"Friday" by Rebecca Black

booty by jennifer lopez. wtf was she thinking when she wrote it!? and that video makes me more gay if that was possible!

"Scream and Shout" by will.i.am featuring Britney Spears

I can't believe this charted so high. There's a part of the song when both go "oh-we-oh-we-oh-we-oh". I mean we knew it would be shitty if these 2 non-talents combined their shittiness, but the song is shockingly bad.

"Silent Night" murdered by Taylor Swift. I once saw a description of her version of this Christmas song as sounding like a sheep giving birth to triplets.

-Whip My Hair (Willow Smith) -Bye Bye Bye (N'Sync) -My Humps (Black Eyed Peas) -Ice Ice Baby (Vanilla Ice) -You're Having My Baby (Paul Anka) -You're Beautiful (James Blunt) -Bad Day (Daniel Powder) -Blurred Lines (Robin Thicke) -anything from Lady Gaga, Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Iggy Azalea, Bieber, Miley or Britney -They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha Ha -anything from Fergie's album The Dutchess

Awww, R14 - that song ain't so bad. It makes me smile because my friend, Kim, got the nickname 'Kimmie Coco Puff' for being a pothead.

R29 stole my answer. So I'll go with the lesser-known but equally atrocious auto-tune mess that one of the Guidice daughters released.

Just a suggestion for folks - if you're linking to a video, you may want to identify the song in your post too. If a thread lasts for a while and the link gets broken, we have no idea what song you're naming.

Rock me Amadeus by Falco

I wanna be a cowboy

I don't remember the name of the "artist"

I think we've got all the bases covered with this one.

Worst Songs:

I Am Woman - Helen Reddy

Muskrat Love - Captain & Tennille

Royals - Lorde

I hate all three of those (equally) with a passion.

I've heard too many bad songs to say one is the absolute worst.

Anything by Tom Petty. Worse than nails on a chalkboard.

[quote]Barbie Girl was social satire. I think it's a cute little song but it obviously rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

Because the production is so goddamn annoying. It's shrill, hyperactive and in-your-face, and the cutesy vocals don't help much.

R25: If you dislike Morris Albert's version of that song, maybe you should listen to it being sung by someone who can actually feel whatever feeling can be gotten out of this song, in this case Nina Simone:

The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson

My Humps by Black-Eyed Peas

Boogie Fever by The Sylvers

Cherry Pie by Warrant

Don't Go Breaking My Heart by Elton & Kiki

Brick In Yo Face

The theme from [italic]Friends[/italic]. Simply insufferable.

Whatever that "High All the Time" bullshit song is. It sucks.

Muskrat Love - The Captain & Tennille You're Having My Baby - Paul Anka Billy Don't Be a Hero - Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks Disco Duck - Rick Dees

That 'What If God Was One Of Us' song from the '90s. Pure dreck.

Snap!'s Rhythm is a Dancer.

'I'm as serious as cancer/ When I say that rhythm is a dancer'

"We Go Together" by the Livvy, John, and the Cast of Grease. Hate that movie, hate that song.

My Humps by Black Eyed Peas. And it has stiff competition from within the BEPs oeuvre, alone.

Do You Know The Way To San Jose? by Dionne Warwick. It makes me nauseous.

Graduation(Friends Forever) by Vitamin C. It was played at my cousin's high school graduation. Everyone was crying. It was hilarious.

We Are The Fucking World (1985).

Tie between "You Light Up My Life" and "I've Never Been to Me."

Absolutely, R54. I have hated those songs since childhood.

Sue Wilkinson's 'You've Got To Be A Hustler...' I've posted this before and am surprised it hasn't become a DL favourite. I wonder what happened to her?

Fingernails on Chalkboard for Me:

"The Main Event" - Barbra Streisand

"If You Leave Me Now" - Chicago

"That's What Friends Are For" - Dionne Warwick & "Friends"

"You Light Up My Life" - Debby Boone

Classic. And not in a good way.

"Look Away" by Chicago, pathetically maudlin ballad that borders on camp

Do They Know It's Christmas

Afternoon Delight - Starland Vocal Band

Everything Is Beautiful - Ray Stevens

Brand New Key - Melanie

My Humps - Black-Eyed Peas

Wannabe - Spice Girls

Leading by a mile, the musical Violation of Human Rights that is, My Humps.

I met a girl down at the disco

She said hey, hey, hey yea let's go.

I could be your baby, you can be my honey

Let's spend time not money.

I mix your milk wit my cocoa puff

Milky, milky cocoa

Mix your milk with my cocoa puff, milky, milky riiiiiiight.

Once there was a girl who something someing doesn't matter all you hear's my deep voice. Mmmm Mmmm, forget the name unless that's it, Mmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm.

Pussy be Yankin by Lady

We have a new masterpiece of god-awfulness in Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off."

Sweet Lies. Like nails on a chalkboard.

"Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" had some of the most awful, douchebaggiest lyrics of any song written before "Blurred Lines" came out. And since it was marketed towards preteen girls, it makes me sick to my stomach to listen to it.

I actually liked The Black Eyed Peas until the moment I heard " I gotta feeling". It is the blandest of David Guetta's songs. After that song, they only got more laughable. Their Superbowl Performance with Usher was the second worst in history next to Madonna's. Actually, it might be worse. They are a band that made a lot of money off of EDM music, but their music was best before that.

Did you know that the English actor Trevor Peacock also wrote the Herman's Hermits hit "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter"? He also had a stab at American-style rockabilly:

Yes Sir, I Can Boogie - Baccarat

What's Going On? - 4 Non Blondes

Did It All for the Nookie - Limp Bizkit

Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle

The Birdie Song

Totally disagree, R4 .

That song is prescient and only becomes more and more relevant as time marches on.

Doesn't have the greatest melody, by it is haunting in its own way.

I think people on acid would probably appreciate it more than others.

Am I wrong, DL? You're opinion means SO much to me.

[quote]What's Going On? - 4 Non Blondes

My God, how did I forget this one? Never met anyone who liked this song.

r74, I like it. Indeed, I've never understood the hate for it.

"Shallow" Lady Gaga

This is smarmy and horrible.
