I don't know from Sisters of Mercy, but as overwrought as "I'd Do Anything for Love" is, and although it's likely in my top 10 or top 25 worst rock songs ever (would that be bottom?--whatever, you know what I mean), I think you're overlooking We Built this City on Rock and Roll,
No, I'm not.
IDAFL(BIWDT) is the worst rock song ever. WBTC is the worst SONG IN THE HISTORY OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE. Since humans first started evolving this thing called "culture," it is the worst. song. ever.
Annabel's pretty young, yet. Maybe you haven't watched enough toddler TV.
Barney is a friend of ours from our imagination
When he's tall he's what we call a 'dinosaur sensation'.
Barney comes to play with us
Whenever we may need him.
Barney can be your friend, too
If you'll just make-believe him.
This is a song, la la la la
Elmo's song.
La la la la, la la la la
Elmo's song.
La la la -- la la la la
La la la -- la la la la
I'll go easy on ya, and not post the lyrics to "It's Christmas, Again" from the movie,
Elmo Saves Christmas.
Yes, WBTC is a dreadful song, but anyone who thinks it's the worst song ever hasn't stopped to ponder "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro or "Billy, Don't Be a Hero."
Yes, WBTC is a dreadful song, but anyone who thinks it's the worst song ever
I think the collected works of one Ms. Celine Dion trump Starship's sellout.
OH MY FREAKING GOD
I finally get a chance to log in and catch up, and THERE ARE BARNEY LYRICS IN THE THREAD.
I must now kill Cindy. It's tragic, but it has to happen.
When discussing the worst songs ever, how can you ignore the ouvre of The Jingle Cats?
"Oh Honey, I miss you, And I'm being good. And I'd love to be with you, if only I could."
Days, it takes me days to catch up so I can post here. And what do I read last? Earworm. Baaaaad. Thanks, Ginger.
When discussing the worst songs ever
And are we including holiday songs? Because, if so, then the award of worst song of all time (holiday and non-holiday, inclusive) goes to Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. Even the dogs barking Jingle Bells is better than that. Hell, even that song from Titanic is better than that.
Macarthur Park, even if covered by Donna Summer, whom I think is cool...it's just weird.
Last kiss and all those necro love songs.
"Cherish"
Tep shares my Dion hate-on.
"Grandma..." is funny if your grandma's a beast.
I love "Billy, Don't Be a Hero." See Frank's comments on some bad songs being interesting. I also love, "The Night Chicago Died."
I don't recognize the other one though, Ginger, so I can't speak to it.
Sunday night, I heard Ariel by Dean Friedman, and it might be worse that WBTC, though.
There was this dumb tree Honey planted, and then it snowed. "She ran out to brush the snow away, slipped and almost hurt herself, and I laughed till I cried. ...And Honey, I miss you..."
Yhaaaarghhh.
