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?

Duran Duran:  Hungry like the wolf

The lyrics say it all... "I smell like I sound"

Hotel California is the absolute worst song ever, followed closely by The Christmas Shoes.  I switch the station every time I hear them. 

No!  I love Duran Duran and The Eagle's Hotel California!

Ehhh, to each their own. :)

Wow, haven't seen this thread in a while,so I don't remember if these have been mentioned:

Free Falling by Tom Petty -He starts out by singing very patronizingly about some girl he's just dumped, she's a lame, squeaky clean "good girl" while he speaks of himself as this cool rebellious loner "bad boy" and a heartbreaker. A)Here's a ladder Tom, you can use it to get over yourself, and B)If he's so badass as he claims, what was he doing with this sheltered girl with the horses and all that anyway? Couldn't handle a hard-partying rocker chick "bad girl"? Or would none of them have him? (Eventually he recorded "Last Dance With Mary Jane" about a corpse girl. Even more his speed than the good girl, I guess.)

Loving You Is Easy Cuz You're Beautiful--I don't need to explain.

Take On Me by A-Ha. Actually, the song itself is not bad. But I dread hearing it come on in a bar or karaoke or whatever because everyone wants to sing along with it, and quite frankly, while the lead singer can hit that one note, most of them really, really can't.

Are we counting bad stuff that's actually kind of good/bad, like William Shatner singing "Rocket Man" or Wesley Willis type stuff?

Actually "Last Dance with Mary Jane" is about marijuana.

just sayin'.

I'd have to submit "Having My Baby" by Paul Anka.

And "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus.

How come in the video he's all got that corpse who doesn't open her eyes till he leaves?

Yet he wrote a song mocking goths("Zombie Zoo", based on an actual LA goth club from the 80's.), the story according to a friend of mine from LA who used to go there is that one time Tom Petty had gone in, was weirded out by the scene, and wrote the song which is full of zingers like "freak". Oh my god, no preppy-jock-big hair chick from a middle American high school ever thought to call them THAT!

 Yea, I'm almost 100% it's about marijuana. I think they probably just wanted an interesting video concept.

For worst song...I'm going to have to go with The Beatles-"Yellow Submarine."

I can't stand that song...

Anything sung by Aerosmith.

Not sure of  the name of this song, but one of the lines goes something like..

"It's getting hot in here, so take of your clothes,"

Wow, smooth talker, now that's romance.

Anything by Britney Spears, most country singers...

OMG...I love like all of these songs that people have listed. I have acutally song alot of these on my 360...lol Rockband/Lips/GHWorld Tour. But...I love almost all music.

But the song that makes me change the channel everytime I hear it...is actually a newer song.  Beyonce...if I were a boy...ugh I hate it..I hear it, click, next station. And I honestly think that is the only song I have ever done that to!

Oh- and whoever said Bon Jovi was horrible!!! That is crazy. He is Awesome...lol to each their own though!

you've spoken my mind ><

 

So, lets take a vote, was LAST DANCE WITH MARY JANE about a dead girl, or was it about marijuana. I always assumed marijuana because all the great rock 'n roll is either about sex or drugs, or rockers who are now dead, or just plain rage against society.

 

From SongFacts:

Petty has not said what this is about, but there are 2 common interpretations. It could be about Petty's divorce from his wife Jane, which happened a year before this was recorded. Another possibility is that it is about marijuana, as "Mary Jane" is slang for pot and the lyrics refer to killing the pain, which the drug is known for. Campbell offered this explanation: "My take on it is it can be whatever you want it to be. A lot of people think it's a drug reference, and if that's what you want to think, it very well could be, but it could also just be a goodbye love song."

Ah, well. The world may never know.

Anything by Oasis.

It's all over rated cr*p & makes me feel dead inside.

AND as for Liam Gallagher once being voted 'best frontman' - Rubbish! All he does is whine into a microphone while shaking a tambourine BEHIND his back. A can of beans has more charisma! Oh & FYI Liam & Noal - You are NOT John Lennon & defiantly NOT better than The Beatles so just quit it & rod off!

God! I hate Oasis!

^wonderwall can suck it

ANYTHING by Panic at the Disco/Fall Out Boy/Simple Plan/Evanesence

that youdontknowwhatitslikewelcometomylife song and any oh-pity-me songs like that

plus I agree with most of the ones I've read

Katonick, that would, accordingly be "Hot in Here." there may be more R's though.

yeah and most commercial hip-hop like that is awful and repetitive

not going to get into the pop  or country departments because there's no need

I love Wonderwall...

Hi shill, Have you ever had to have your hub/boyfriend check you for ticks? It gets interesting, maybe you have to live in the tick infested south to get a kick out of it.

The tractor song here in Nashville is just  funny joke song just like the tick song.

The song I really hate is Faith Hill, "your kiss" and just about any song she sings.

How about that old song by Canned Heat, gets way too much play time on the classic rock stations. I'm not even sure of the title, GOING TO THE CITY, GOING TO THE COUNTRY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
