That execrable "loving you... is easy cause you're beautiful"

I don't know the actual name of the song, or the singer, but my lord, it's horrible.

Posted by: meep | April 20, 2004 09:22 AM

Anything recorded in the last 5-10 years by either Elton John or Rod Stewart. Why don't they just go the distance and admit they're retired already? Rod's most recent songs sound like he's got eight bars of motown riff on repeat on an old Casio, and he's making up lyrics to sing over them as he goes along.

But I'm not bitter. ;-)

Kung Fu Fighting

Convoy (them hawgs are starting to close up my sinuses)

Ebony and Ivory (what was Paul McCartney thinking?)

The Wind Beneath My Wings (Bette Midler should go back to her raunchy roots)

People - wrong thread. Go below.

Wow, there are so many.

"MacArthur Park" by Richard Harris OR Donna Summer springs immediately to mind, however. "Hey, this song stinks. Let's see if we can do it even worse by making it a DISCO record!"

"Stairway to Heaven." Someone explain the appeal of this song to me.

"All I Wanna Do (is make love to you)" by Heart. "Hey, remember that one nighter a couple years ago? Yeah, I got knocked up. My man's a fabulous guy but impotent, so it's all good."

"Crocodile Rock," Elton John. Again, someone explain the appeal of this song to me.

Kitty special! ... ::CRACK::

Does this have anything to do with the Fark meaning of killing kittens? i.e.,

Posted by: Michael D | April 20, 2004 09:48 AM

Michael, all of life has to do with Fark.

Fark is life.

Posted by: michele | April 20, 2004 09:58 AM

Aaron Neville.*, Michael Bolton.*, Bob Seeger.*, or any band whose members are all less than 18 years old. But these are merely painful. The one that always makes me want to put a fork through my head (or radio) is...

Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over

Posted by: Keiran Halcyon | April 20, 2004 10:01 AM

Love Beach - ELP. A much anticipated release after Works 2 (coming for you in my next Amazon trip, Michele)it couldn't have been more disappointing. Take your pick of bad tracks, this one will do.

At This Moment - Remember that tune from the Michael J. Fox sitcom? Ugh....tho' I suppose I hate it so because it hit close to home at the time.

I can't think anymore. It isn't the same as picking the 5 best, because it really doesn't matter what you throw in there. But to plumb the depths - it has to be just right.

"Mellow Yellow." I don't think any song can surpass the utter awfulness of this "classic."

Posted by: Bob King | April 20, 2004 10:21 AM

"Celebration" - Kool and the Gang
"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" - Wham
"Karma Chameleon" - Culture Club
"Amanda" - Boston

Posted by: Pietro | April 20, 2004 10:29 AM

"Feels So Good" by Chuck Mangione, spokesman for Meglo-Mart.

"It's a Small World (After All)"

Anthing by Christopher Cross

Anything by the Doobie Brothers after Michael McDonald joined or Genesis after Peter Gabriel left.

"Don't worry be happy" - Bobby McFerrin

That song makes me wanna punch someone in the teeth. It's the equivalent to telling someone to "relax" which often has the opposite effect, sending the person off into a rage screaming "relax??? you want me to RELAX?? I AM RELAXED!!"

Anyway, today this very topic came up on a morning show I watch, and the sonsabitches played this song and now it's stuck in my head. bastards.

"I've Never Been to Me" by Charlene has to be in everyone's top three.

Posted by: Jane | April 20, 2004 11:59 AM

...Amazing...I don't see "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace anywhere here.

Mike

Posted by: Mike Kozlowski | April 20, 2004 01:51 PM

Oh yes, the "I've never been to me" is up there with the "Loving you..." song. But "I've never been to me" wasn't punctuated by ungodly screeching.

Which reminds me, any song where Mariah Carey screeches and breaks glass. As far as I know, that includes all her songs.

Hmmm...

^Muskrat Love
^I gave my love a cherry (loved Belushi's reaction to it)
^Tie A Yellow Ribbon
^Joy to the World (Jeremiah was a Bullfrog)
