The Absolute Worst Song in Existence

I was listening to the radio the other day and, to my chagrin, Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" which has to be one of the worst songs in existence came back on. Man, I hated this song when it first came out. Still hate it. It's just so... annoying!

So tell me.. what do YOU think the absolute worst song in existence is?

Jingle Bell Rock

Freebird - the musical death that doesnt end.

So you must be traveling on now and yet your still here singing on and on and on.  Taxi's waiting and you'll need time to fit that big fat ego in the trunk so toodles!

'No one" by Alicia Keys 

I hate that song.... it pisses me off.  when/if it comes on the radio, I either change the station or turn off the radio.  it sounds to me like a 4year old made that song up.  bah!  I'm already gettin' irritated talkin' about it.

'Closer to the heart' by Rush.  Great musicians, HORRIBLE, WHINY lead singer.  GOD, I hate his voice!

Oh, and James Blunt "You're Beautiful". Yeah, and you're tone-deaf, James!

 Second that!  He says, "My love is pure..." Yeah, right.  The song is about LUST, James.  Lust.   Geez...

 Actually the song is about a guy who sees his girlfriend with another man and is letting go. What's so damn funny about the song is that it is now rated as one of the most played songs at weddings. Now that's funny in the ironic sense.

 Are you sure?  I don't get that from the lyrics.  "I'll never be with you," sounds like he's never been with her.  I could be wrong, however.

My husband and I had Whitney Houston's "Saving all my love for you," as our song at our wedding.  It wasn't until about 17 years later that I actually listened to the lyrics, and realized that it was about a woman having an affair with a married man.  I laughed my head off.

 Yes I'm sure. Blunt has even published a story about how he wrote the song. It's based on a true event that happed to him.

He was in total love with this girl. He got on a train and sat down and saw her sitting with another man. She looked up and smiled. Here's the lyrics.

You're Beautiful lyrics

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
F***ing high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Hinder's "Lips of an Angel".

I get up and change the radio station instantly if they play it.

Hank Williams Jr newest version of "Family Tradition"

"McCain Palin Tradition" is a death knell

Thanks, Moonikins!  I still hate the song, but a little less now.

There is no way I could pick just one. There's way to many untalented artists that release utter garbage to pass as "music".

#28 - I still crack up about it being a wedding song. Even if it were about a guy that's never going to be with this girl he sees, why would you want it at your wedding. You're saying "I'll never be with you".

STUPID!

 The country version of Lips of an Angel is much much much worse. Much worse. A whole lot worse. Horrific even.

Oh yes - I've only heard it once and I do agree with you Mooni.

The rock station I used to listen to at work once played the Hinder version 4 times in one day.  That is way excessive.  In fact, we no longer listen to that station because they seem to fixate on a certain song and play it to death (every 2 hours during the work day). 

There are a million songs out there - a little more variety please.

Why do country artists remake other genre songs? I've never heard of any that worked. They're usually so bad they make my hair go straight.

Like the other poster, I never got that either.  He introduces her as someone he saw on the subway like he'd never seen her before and only addresses them having shared a moment.  Im not saying thats conclusive but they way he wrote it makes it sound like a stranger.  Yet, your explanation seems more logical for him to be so distraught over it.

I saw an angel, of that I'm sure.

 AGREED! I hate that song.

Touch My Body by Mariah Carey. What the hell?

Almost all Nickelback songs. I believe America was brainwashed for a few years by their monotone, lack of variety, cheesy ass songs. I couldn't stand them. Ugh!

I also thoroughly dislike artists like Lil' John or Lil' Wayne or John Wayne or whatever. I mean, I like some rap and hip hop but they are aweful and untalented.

ALSO, anything by Tila Tequila or David Archuleta. LOL!

 I don't know how I didn't think of this song! It makes me cringe. And, like you, I had to listen to it way too many times during the day

 I can see why you'd get that impression. I was on a long drive when this song came out and James Blunt was giving an interview on the radio. He talked about the song and explained the story. He said he was devastated, but couldn't say anything to her on the subway. All he could do was just stare. He said he knew at that instant that he could never be with her again.

I think that's why you can hear the distraught tone in his voice.

And why do people play this song at a wedding? I can't get over this fact.

Yeah I remeber hearing James Blunt tell that story too. I actually like that song

Ahh....there's just SO MUCH CRAP out there. It's hard to pick just one song. I'd say more along the lines of a LOT of bad "musicians"...actually, no, they shouldn't even be called musicians. Especially, bands like the Offspring who have blatantly ripped off more than one melody. WRITE YOUR OWN MUSIC!!!
But I'd have to say, my personal version of hell would be being trapped in a room and forced to listen to anything by the Eagles. Particularly "Desperado" or "Hotel California."

I do however second the motion on ?"My Heart Will Go On," "Beautiful," and "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You"

BLECH!

Another one of the potentially worst songs in exitence: I will always love you by Whitney Houston.

I hate that song. Hate hate hate. With a passion. With a strong passion. Hate!
