What is the Worst Song of All Time?

Aug 27, 2014#1

Frank

Subjectively, in your opinion, what is the worst song written or performed by man or womankind.

Nominate as many as you want. I want the real dregs of music here.

Now, I'll start with a song that I don't know if it's the worst song of all time, but it's easily the worst song of the 90s.

Dolphins Cry by Live

The worst song I've ever heard was when I was still DJing weddings. The groom had written a song for the bride and he wanted me to play it. And not just play it. I invited all of the couples to the dance floor and announced that the groom wrote this song specifically for the bride...then I started it.

You could see the confusion on the faces of the couples as they tried to dance to this abomination. It starts with a robotic voice that says, "First signs of life!" and then goes into an electronic cacophony, interspersed with bits of the robotic voice extolling the virtues of the bride. This went on for six minutes and was painful! Of course, once the song was "done" they clapped and started to leave the floor. That's when the SECOND half of the song started, which was more of the same. I knew about the 10 second break so I left the DJ table and stood by the bar trying not to laugh at the poor couples who were trapped on the dance floor.

Worst song ever.

Worst song of all time that I've ever heard was the techno version of that Celine Dion song from Titanic. It was already an annoying, overplayed song as it was. Then I heard a version on the radio some time later that had a super techno beat to it.

Not sure if this qualifies, but the worst version of a song I've ever heard is Miley Cyrus's rendition of Part of Your World.

I guess I'd say pretty much any popular hip-hop. It actually makes me angry listening to it. I don't think they encompass the worst song though. I just dislike the genre in general. Same goes for any sort of screaming genre or weird ICP/Gwar-type non-sense.

Nookie by Limp Bizkit is annoying a hell.

How Am I Supposed To Live Without You by Michael Bolton makes me angry and annoyed so I guess it wins.

While most of these bad songs I can usually just ignore in the background, Jewel - Who will save your soul makes me cringe just thinking about it and makes me hate the world when it's played. Sorry no video but like CeltZ, just hearing the first few seconds is too painful to be worth it.

I worked in a music store for 3 years in the late 1980's-early 90's. This song, Christmas Wrapping, and Last Christmas got played a lot. And now we know why my Christmas music is usually instrumental, choral, or old classics.

Most Beatlephiles deny that is even a song.

Here's how you can tell:

If you ask a Beatle fan what the longest (in terms of time) recorded song of the Fab Four is, they will likely tell you, "I Want You/She's So Heavy".

If you respond, "Wait, what about...", they will interrupt you and say, "That was NOT a song."

I won't link to it, at all. Loathe this song. Santa Baby by absolutely anyone. Ever. This song is the reason I make sure to have my own music playing at my work area. It actually makes me angry when I hear it.

Yeah that song is weird.

I have had Olivia Newton-John lyrics stuck in my brain all weekend.

And not her "Physical" era songs. The stuff from the early '70's, when she was doing country.

ARRRGGHHHHHH.

Not the worst song, but the worst analogy by a musician, ever.

Tom DeLonge of Blink 182 compares music streaming services to killing elephants for ivory.

It always mystifies me that musicians are thought (by themselves OR anyone else) to be an authority on anything other than making pleasing waveforms. I dare say Blink 182 is, as you no doubt agree from the content of your post, a dubious source on the actual economics and ethics of content delivery systems.

An artist can choose to take part in streaming services or not, that's their prerogative. But they have to realize that the streaming services are huge mitigators for music piracy. If you end all music streaming (as they no doubt want, if it's tantamount to ivory poaching), you just end up going back to the good old napster days of rampant music piracy.

Most ambitious gold-digger ever.

I can't get into Pharrell Williams "Happy" much at all, myself, honestly. I remember the air-time on the radio for that thing being so persistent and demanding, lol, the song almost felt like an insult to my senses.

Is it the worst song? Probably not, but after the ninth time in a week I'm inclined to spoof it about being unhappy. xD
